@@circattle why can’t you run Apple Music with the m15 mate? No support?

[@circattle]

@@davidd4515 It is something to do with the SoC being the Exynos 7872, so that's effectively the main engine of the M15. You can download the Apple Music app from the Playstore, but you can never log into it. When you submit your user credentials, it just loops back to the log in screen. I don't really know what the issue is, but I'm guessing it has something to do with cryptography / security used by Apple accounts that is not supported on this SoC.

You probably shouldn't. High impedance headphones don't really serve a purpose anymore, if there's a lower impedance option you should get it. It only makes the headphones harder to drive while changing nothing about the sound quality. Likewise, balanced headphones have two benefits: More power, if they aren't loud enough (usually due to high impedance or low SPL/mW), and removal of ground loops. Obviously you won't have a ground loop in your portable device, and if you didn't buy high-impedance headphones, the power issue wouldn't be there either. The actual sound itself is 100% the same between balanced and single ended audio. It's a super cool little device, but you definitely don't need it, even if you care about extremely high-fidelity sound.

4:07 well the Fiio M15 is technically another box for electronics

[@justadudeee]

Yo, dankpods I found your channel after you were so aggressively recommended to me by KZbin I just watched you so I can get away but i really liked and that led to me watching all of your videos

[@jpotter124]

We need to get dank to 1 mil!!!

[@flammableduck7015]

imagine all the goodies he could get given to him then

[@jpotter124]

Flammable Duck yeah because dank is the only guy who will make quality content from it😉

[@Captainretard1373]

Hey Dank, I love your vids I've been watching for months now and my birthday is tomorrow. This video is one of the best, almost birthday present ever.

[@DankPods]

Merry Birthmus 🎈

yeetus the fetus as they say

[@socksellerman7754]

DankPods lol

[@PeakPage22]

3:51 this is why we like your vids soo much, I love that enthusiasm.

[@LillyP-xs5qe]

And a year later, the FiiO M17 came out, can't wait to see that video

[@aidanball2216]

Mate I’m here in 18 seconds, I’m a true fan 😅 nah imma sit back and watch the vid, cheers for another one dude!

[@TheJunky228]

if this has more power than that lovely old wooden chonk, can it finally make a cheap pair of dirty buds let out the smoke?

[@rdrgz6217]

I was seriously considering the patron thing, and I was sold when you mentioned the video about frank the snake... first video I will watch.

[@ifyouarereadingthisyousuck]

So good to watch your videos while stoned

[@TheNerd305]

You gotta love how meme-y his voice is.

[@Jovian12]

Honestly the way he talks is half the reason I'm here.

[@wingedfish1175]

Bruh go to western Australia mist if them talk like that, the rest as well but western and QLD mostly

[@jayliew]

you know he is Australian when he has a snake in his "recording room" more like snake room with some music and computers

[@watermelonium9671]

ye i have 7 in my Computer room

[@randomland8910]

he has a poopy snake

[@KateNesD]

Holy crap, I haven’t looked at DACs for like 8 years and that thing seems like the apotheosis of DACs, the thing that everyone had only this faint longing for, in the time when you’d be lucky if you could get a USB DAC to even work right. You’re gonna make me want to get back into audio gear

[@lugui898]

What I like the most bout this channel is that I dont even listen to music that often but still like the vids lol

[@tmdosu]

Home and back buttons: exist DankPods: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that.

[@evshrug]

Unironic question: when in a landscape, full screen game like he was playing, where are the home and back buttons?

[@tmdosu]

@@evshrug When in ladscape the buttons hide. In android 7 they should be on the bottom of the phone(not bottom of orientation like newer models and Iphone), so you drag from botton inward and they appear. On some phones the buttons appear while also dragging from the top while in ladscape to see the notification bar.

[@Chamieiniibet]

@@evshrug they might not be virtual on-screen buttons but some real ones just like the home button on iPhone SE.

[@evshrug]

@@tmdosu What do you know, you CAN learn anything on KZbin! Thank you sir!

[@JeanMarceaux]

@@Chamieiniibet nah, they're virtual buttons. To engage them in landscape mode, you either swipe from the top of the screen orientation, or from the bottom of the device. A set of three buttons (triangle, circle, square) should appear on screen.

[@Peppershaker]

dude, i have now watched every video you've made, twice. i didn't even realize it. please keep making more!

[@SicklySeraph]

seeing Dankpods struggle with the android interface is the best bit of the video as someone with almost only an android experience

[@ksrtckingmaga]

Anyone else notice that he used a lightning to headphone jack adapter on the iPhone 6, which HAS a headphone jack?

[@rsbyt4798]

It sounds better out of the adapter

[@ksrtckingmaga]

RSByt huh, didn’t know that. R u sure tho?

[@yoshiegg768]

@@ksrtckingmaga the adapter has its own DAC.

[@user-fb1pk2yw8w]

He's using the dongle that has a built-in DAC. Tons better.

I was just binging your videos and a new one came out right as I was watching the Cashier's Special. Dude , I love your videos man , great timing.

Brilliant review. If you never heard of a Fiio in your life you would want one after this!

"oh this is sweet should do great with my 6xx's" *checks price, at 1,299.99 american shillings** "nevermind"

Gotta pay to play.

[@arnox4554]

There is one thing though that I could argue in favor of this. You buy this, you'll be set for life for pretty much anything audio related.

[@helloworldstein]

@@arnox4554 My only worry would be that FIIO seems to have used really cheap eMMC on this and those things wear out really quick. Wouldnt be surprised if the internal memory on this thing gives out relatively quickly. Happens with cheaper phones and laptops all the time.

[@aquos_fox]

Eh... I'll stick to my 200€ Walkman

[@Hansengineering]

@@arnox4554 Five years, tops. There's way too much software in there that while it COULD be kept up with evolving standards, it won't be.

[@theooh-rahreport8880]

Gotta say dude u have really helped me get to know how my audio should sound. Even though it's hard for u to explain it time and time again but you have helped me a tone really enjoy my music and my podcast.

[@jar3datkinz]

Man, I’d love to see a studio tour!!

[@atoaster.9940]

I love how objectively he sees things. When I first started working at a tech retailer as a teenager I was extremely biased in my tech suggestions but now I've started seeing things for what they're actually worth because of him. Same with cars too.

[@fvxify5691]

7:40 I don’t know why he did, but he put a headphone dongle on an iPhone 6, which has a headphone jack...

[@IanC14]

I plugged the USB-C headphone dongle that came with my Ideapad Duet into my G7 Power for a laugh. it didn't work.

[@lillexus5589]

@@IanC14 maybe you have to enable audio routing via USB through the developer options?

[@zetsubou3704]

@@lillexus5589 USB audio routing is on by default in Dev. Options maybe the phone doesn't support it.

[@jdotcash]

Was about to comment this but scrolled down lol

[@GHENIC]

Iirc the official apple dongle is has a very good DAC and is better than the iPhone 6 built in?
