Still riding high on the success of the Fiio M11, which continues to be one of the most popular mid-tier portable DAPs on the market today, Fiio is gearing up to launch three new models including the M11 Pro, M15, and M15 Pro. The aforesaid models will be launched on different dates, given that they are all developed by the same R&D team.
Who might need Fiio M11 Pro?
Several users bought the X7/X7MK2 with AM3D. The M11 Pro can also be dubbed “X7MK3.” Both AM3D and M11 Pro adopt the THX AAA amp technology, paired with similar sound signatures. The M11 Pro packs two AK4497s as the DAC chip, which offers better performance than the ESS chips, used by the X7/X7MK2.
Compared to the X7/X7MK2, the M11 Pro boasts an improved array of features including better main control, display, function and a radically enhanced control experience.
Why M11 Pro Costs $200 More than M11?
The M11 Pro carries a $769 price tag, but you can grab a $20 off by applying coupon code FIIOM11PRO (from Hifigo.com) at the time of checking out. While the M11 Pro will set you back about $200 more than the standard version of the M11 (varies by tariff and VAT), it is still reasonable, given that other steeply-priced models offer lower configuration.
The $200 increase in the selling price can be attributed to improved configuration. The company utilizes $200 to equip the M11 Pro will better chip AK4497, larger capacity FLASH chip (32G more), improved amp chip and THX license fee. Other improved features include independent analog volume adjustment chip addition and a larger battery with about 600 mA increase.

Fiio M11 Pro Stainless Steel Version
The eye-catching stainless steel variant of the Fiio M11 Pro weighs in at 100g more. Fiio notes that a lot of users aren’t really concerned about the negligible difference in the sound signature between Fiio M11 Pro Stainless Steel Version and M11 Pro Standard Version.
Fiio will not mass produce the M11 Pro Stainless Steel Version, given that the defective rate is too high to produce as the standard of Fiio is strict. There are high chances that those who like it, may not buy it. It is imperative for the company to accurately consider the potential quantity from the market in an effort to avoid overstocking.
