So in this comparison video, we're going to
be comparing three digital audio players that
are around the same price: we've got the Sony
ZX300, the Astell & Kern SR15, and the Fiio
M11.
And we can get really down into the weeds
with this comparison, but when a customer
walks into Minidisc and asks for a recommendation,
we have a pretty easy way to narrow down the
choices.
If you need a DAP primarily for earphones
and portable headphones and you do not need
streaming apps like Spotify or Tidal, we recommend
the Sony.
The Sony ZX300 has been a perennial favourite
here at Minidisc since its release, and for
good reason: it combines a simple operating
system with an elegant, ergonomic design and
stellar battery life, offering up to 26 hours
of high resolution audio playback, which is
more than double any other player in this
category.
Another advantage of the Sony out of all of
these three players is that the balanced output

在这个对比视频中，我们会对比三个数字音频播放器
他们都是在同一价位，分别是索尼ZX300，艾利和SR15和飞傲M11
 
我们进行深入的对比
但当顾客来我们这里寻求推荐的时候，我们有很简单的方法来缩小选择范围
 
如果你想要一个播放器主要来推耳塞和便携耳机
并且不需要流媒体软件比如Spotify或者Tidal，我们推荐索尼
索尼ZX300自发售以来在我们店一直都很受欢迎
因为它操作简便，设计讲究并符合人体工程学
它的续航也很长，能达到26小时的高码率音频回放
这个续航比其他两个播放器都要长出一倍
在这三个播放器当中，索尼ZX300的另外一个优势是当我们把信号平衡输出

English: 
of the ZX300 exhibits the least hiss with
sensitive IEMs like the Campfire Audio Andromeda.
The trade-off is that the ZX300 has relatively
low power output, and even the balanced output
will struggle to put out enough power for
many full sized headphones.
The ZX300 is also somewhat of a purist player,
so the operating system is simple and easy
to use, but offers no support for streaming
apps, or any other kinds of apps, whatsoever.
Still, if you hate the trend of every device
acting like a smartphone, the ZX300 was made
for you.
Sony’s insistence on using its own proprietary
WM-Port connector means that finding accessories
like OTG cables for the ZX300 can be frustrating.
This complicates the ZX300 if you want to
use it as a transport.
Strangely, the Sony’s Bluetooth receiver
mode works surprisingly well with minimal
latency when compared to the USB DAC function,
but at the end of the day, the Sony works
best as a pure music player, especially for
earphones and easy to drive headphones.
So if you need streaming apps and you still
want to keep things small, we usually look
at the SR15 from Astell & Kern.
While the outputs on the SR15 are comparable
with the Sony's, AK’s stable and easy to

Chinese: 
给高敏耳塞例如Campfire的仙女座时，ZX300的底噪是最低的
ZX300的缺点是输出功率相对较低，即使是使用平衡输出时
依旧无法良好驱动全尺寸大耳
ZX300某种程度上也是一个纯粹的播放器，所以它的操作系统很简洁
但完全无法支持流媒体软件，或一些其他种类的应用。
但是，如果你讨厌任何与智能机详尽的设备，ZX300会非常适合你
 
索尼坚持使用自家WM接口
这使得用家在为ZX300寻找配件比如一条OTG线时会非常困难
出乎意料的，索尼的蓝牙接收模式用起来很棒
在与USB DAC模式相比时延迟很小。结论是索尼ZX300
在这三个里是最好的纯播放器，尤其是在驱动耳塞和灵敏度高的头戴式耳机的时候
如果你需要流媒体软件并且追求小型机的话
我们通常会试试艾利和的SR15
相对于索尼ZX300，SR15的输出功率是足够的

Chinese: 
艾利和的系统稳定并且易用，它也支持Tidal和Spotify
然而，由于SR15的屏幕尺寸，一些小字会很难阅读
 
续航在小型播放器里面也有点短，大约支持10小时的回放
因为这些因素，我们会更推荐索尼的播放器
除非你需要流媒体软件
最后，我们来看看飞傲的M11，它这三者里最新发售的
从纸面数据来看，飞傲M11有许多优势
它有着最大的推力，最大的屏幕、最快的处理器
以及最全的输出接口，包括2.5mm平衡，4.4mm平衡和3.5mm标准单端输出
 
内置的安卓系统也扩展了对第三方软件的支持
并且飞傲提供了几个独特的功能比如对于Apple Airplay的接收器模式和支持快充的USB Type C接口
 
然而，飞傲M11有个最大的问题
虽然它的输出增益很高，并且推力足够推动全尺寸大耳

English: 
use OS offers compatibility with Tidal and
Spotify.
However, at the size of the SR15’s display
some of the thin text is a little hard to
read.
Battery life in this small player is also
a little short, with around 10 hours of playback.
It’s because of those reasons that we recommend
the Sony over the Astell&Kern, unless you
need streaming apps.
Lastly, we have the Fiio M11, the newest player
in this roundup.
Now on paper, the Fiio has all the advantages.
It offers the most power output, the largest
display with the fastest processor, and the
most flexibility with both 2.5mm and 4.4mm
balanced outputs, alongside the 3.5mm standard
output.
The Android operating system also offers extensive
third party app support, and the Fiio offers
several unique features like a receiver mode
for Apple Airplay and a USB-C fast charging
option.
However, there is one big problem with the
Fiio M11: while the outputs on the M11 offer
very high gain and are powerful enough to
drive full sized headphones, the flipside

Chinese: 
这同时也造成了在推动高敏耳塞比如Campfire仙女座和Empire Ears EVR时
底噪会很明显，而且一直都有
即使在低增益模式下也是一样
这底噪实在太大了导致我们实在没办法心安理得地
推荐M11给那些听高敏耳塞的人
当然，因为M11的屏幕很大而且机器很智能
M11的机身在这次参与比较的三台机器中是最大的。并且许多人不想带第二个
和手机尺寸相当，厚度是手机两倍的设备到处走动
所以希望大家可以在这次比较测评中看出没有一个方案能满足大家所有的需求
这也就是为什么我们在Minidisc店里提供了所有的这三个数字播放器
在评论区里写出你认为的最佳播放器
你也可以在我们店里或线上购买
我是Minidisc TV的Lachlan，我们下次再见

English: 
is that with sensitive IEMs like the Campfire
Audio Andromeda or Empire Ears EVR, the Fiio
M11 produces a very noticeable level of electronic
hiss and fuzz, that never goes away even at
low gain settings.
The hiss is loud enough that we simply wouldn’t
feel comfortable recommending the M11 to people
who primarily listen to IEMs.
And of course, while the display is big and
brilliant, the player is the largest in this
comparison and many people don’t want to
carry around a second device that is the same
size and double the thickness of most smartphones.
So hopefully you can see from this comparison
that there is no one-size fits all solution,
which is why we, you know, offer all three
of these digital audio players here at Minidisc.
Let us know what you think is the right one
for you in the comments, and you can check
us out in-store and online.
This is Lachlan for MinidiscTV, and we’ll
see you next time!
