. Thanks for posting this video.

[@theone5601]

best review for this product

[@rexexile9960]

Can this make a call using the facebook messenger using the built in microphone? Also using an iem with mic? Also using a tws earbuds?

[@ntc333]

s the screen good enough to watch video on I mean if you loaded a bunch of video onto an SD card and installed VLC could you enjoy watching video on it??

[@masterazlan6999]

Straight to the point bra, sonically this or fc6? which frm em too.. Peace!

[@Soundnews]

Sonically, FC6 is superior no doubt

[@masterazlan6999]

Kupla kudos... Peace!

[@rajeebdas1724]

​​@@masterazlan6999Not just the M300 dude. Any dongle that's that expensive, like the FC6, Ru7 etc will sonically beat daps below 500$. Speaking from experience. You'll have to really dig deep into your budget before you finally find a dap that sounds on the level of those dongles. Simple mathematics. You're not just paying for the dac chip. You're basically paying for a phone with said dac chip and amplification circuit.

[@masterazlan6999]

I'm not asking anybody but the reviewer..wtf r u anyway, the stupid bunch who bought DAP while has 5Gs phones aswell??..bye noobs!..pls dub be a bz body..wait untill people's asked u..Peace!

[@mtnlyon9951]

Can the output jack double as a line out? My apologies if this was covered. it was a long video.

[@mongrain8934]

Thank you for this review. Does the radio receiver need WiFi to function ?

[@Soundnews]

It doesn't need WiFi, but a pair of IEMs or headphone attached.

[@denis_soldatov]

У меня есть edifier stax spirit s3. Стоит ли брать этот плеер для этих наушников или sony a306 лучше ?

[@Soundnews]

Since you'll be using Bluetooth, bypassing the D/A converter sitting inside these units, the source is no longer important. It could be your smartphone, A306 or this M300, they will all sound the same.

[@denis_soldatov]

@@Soundnews а если edifier stax spirit s3 подключить по проводу ? По bluetooth принцип понял. Спасибо за ответ.

[@andy.w]

Global SRC bypass?

[@Gadgetibles]

Can this hiby digital m300 power my philips shp 9600 and sennheiser hd660s2 ?

[@Soundnews]

Hi. Sadly, it cannot do that.

[@Gadgetibles]

@@Soundnews what dap on a budget will you recommend for these headphones that will pair nicely with good volume and sound quality

[@Soundnews]

@@Gadgetibles Without thinking twice, I would get the Shanling M3 Ultra. Can't beat its performance at that price. If you stretch your budget higher, then I would get the HiBy R6 PRO II

[@donaldjuan4934]

Does it have aptX adaptive?

[@denis_soldatov]

Есть. После обновления прошивки.

[@kirkhamilton775]

So I think you may want to reshoot this. Hiby has been around for quite a while at this point.....

[@Soundnews]

You meant Hiby has been around for quite a while, certainly not HiBy Digital. I mentioned in the video what both of these companies are doing.

[@kirkhamilton775]

@@Soundnews "new" company

[@afistfulofpimples1745]

​@@kirkhamilton775 Watch the video properly

[@oviandre]

I send mine back ....battery drain very fast, overheating and sound not better then an android with a DAC dongle
