Digital Audio Player not Digital Analog Player 😂
I have it on my car. The difference from head unit it's rocket sky. I have mine conected using digital output. Ps i also have dsp. Still makes huge difference
Some people on the CarAV subreddit were saying with AUX connection that both D/A conversion from your source along with the A/D n D/A conversion from your head unit are also being used as well. Despite having a shit ass Blaupunkt headunit and cheap 60 dollar coaxials I can still notice my Fiio M9 makes a huge difference with everything. I've also tested my Fiio M9 Bluetooth on my friends 2019 RAM 1500 stock system and it sounds just as good as when he is using his iPhone with USB connection. It's wild.
I just picked up a used Fiio M11 but haven't tested it yet. I'm gonna start using it once I get a new car with a system in it. Gonna use that DAP directly into my Helix DSP and save my 80PRS and M9 for another build.
I’ll add this so there is no confusion. When using a DAP and you’re going auxiliary in, yes you are using multiple DAC conversions but because you’re using the DAC of the DAP first it’s always going to give you the best sound quality.
With my set up I’m using a PAC Amp Pro so I’m bypassing the DAC in the system as I’m using the Optical Toslink out of the PAC Amp Pro into the DSP’s Optical toslink input.
Then the DSP would be doing it’s D/A conversion. So you will have the best signal possible right from the start. I only use this with CarPlay now and since I bought the Fiio M17 I never use CarPlay.
For the best connection you would want to go straight to the DSP if you had one. Depending on which DAP you had (I have the Fiio M17 now) If I had a mid tier DAP (FiiO M11, M11 Plus ESS or LTD I would use the coaxial digital output of the DAP into the Coaxial Digital input of the DSP. If you had a Flagship DAP then you might prefer the multiple DAC conversations and go analog or you might prefer still to go Coaxial Digital. It all depends on your DAP and what you prefer.
But for this video just using the DAP with no DSP via auxiliary input will make the biggest difference.
You will love the M11 as I believe it’s the best DAP on the market for the price.
I wish I had a 80prs. I'm running a periodic rhodium dongle dac so I have 1V Going to my head unit and it's seems to be quadruple the volume of the apple USB C dongle which to me sounds perfect. It's just so volume limited with my Android phones
@@rishianil I haven’t tested that dongle DAC but a DAP has gain levels low, medium, high so you can match it up perfectly to any system.
Good Stuff, I am rocking my M7 but will upgrade to the M11P
Nice! I’ve been looking for one but they seem to be out of stock everywhere
My Helix DSP only has :
1) Line Input
2) Hi-Pass Input
3) Optical Input
Based on the above inputs, what is the best way to connect the DAP to Helix DSP? Must i buy a Fiio M11s or can i use a Sony WM1AM2?
I haven’t tested any of the Sony DAP’s yet so I’m not sure how they sound. You can go with whatever DAP you choose as there are many choices these days.
Not many have optical out though, so you might just have to go analog in. Usually the Helix DSP’s let you use two channels as auxiliary inputs. So just check your DSP manual
Does Apple High Res streaming service have the same high audio quality as a DAP through a toslink to a DSP?
I can only speak for that DAP’s I have tested and depending on the DAP and DSP it should. A lot of DSP will only give you 24-96Kz but I would never chase numbers as it will get you nowhere 😆 It’s all about how good the recording is.
It starts with the recording and then your install and tune, and finally the equipment you have.
I have the brand new 2023 Mosconi 8 to 12 DSP…Can I use my bluetooth Ipod or should I buy a DAP high res player?
Like I said before I would never spend that kind of money on a Mosconi 8/30 DSP or the stand alone 8-12 just to run Bluetooth.
Hey, I was going to get the Fiio BTR5 2021 for my car to make it a Bluetooth comparable car using the car mode. Would the Bluetooth feature from the BTR5 still have the same effect on the audio that this thing does? Or is it roughly the same quality as it would be without the DAC
It’s decent but it doesn’t compare to a mid to high end DAP
What case is on your M11? Do you have a link for where you bought it? I cannot find a sleek one like that for mine.
I bought mine a long time ago from this site -> mbest.aliexpress.com/?src=google&albch=fbrnd&acnt=347-178-5672&albcp=2043121802&albag=71989101973&slnk=&trgt=kwd-17288322708&plac=&crea=357605912095&netw=g&device=m&mtctp=e&memo1=&albbt=Google_7_fbrnd&albagn=888888&isSmbActive=false&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjZqQqu3u9wIVYwh9Ch1ToQx_EAAYASAAEgLwB_D_BwE&aff_fcid=0e1c2bcb35c440bd9aca4c566cda2d2d-1653076413491-04500-UneMJZVf&aff_fsk=UneMJZVf&aff_platform=aaf&sk=UneMJZVf&aff_trace_key=0e1c2bcb35c440bd9aca4c566cda2d2d-1653076413491-04500-UneMJZVf&terminal_id=74f92d361abf43799f96b556abe42a45
But like I said it was a long time ago and the Fiio M11 has been discontinued for a while so I don’t they even sell the case anymore since the new FiiO M11 Plus has come out. The Fiio M11s is coming out in June as well so they will probably be concentrating on cases for those DAP’s.
DAP usually stands for Digital Audio Player
Look at the pinned tweet 🐥
Hello, we think it’s a different using it as a Bluetooth instead of my iPhone too my helix ultra?
Yes, even connecting the Fiio M11 or higher to Bluetooth to the Helix DSP via Hec Bluetooth module will be far superior sound than using a phone to connect Bluetooth even though I always prefer a wire connection for best possible audio.
I’m using the Fiio X7 mark ii with a coax cable right into the coax input of my dsp
Will the M11 be a big upgrade in sq ?
No, but the new M11 Plus going analog into your DSP might as the specs on the M11 Plus are insane. That’s something I want to test when I buy mine. Hold off on it until I get mine, then I’ll let you know.

I haven’t heard that model but I have heard the M6 Ultra and the M7 and they sounded good.
Very interesting device. I am thinking to get dap for my car while i'm running android auto to dsp. How you use dap with carplay?
You don’t use a DAP for CarPlay, you use it to go strait into your DSP via coaxial digital if you have that input on your DSP or analog into your DSP that way it bypasses the crappy factory head units D/A converter.
For my vehicle I also run an PAC Amp Pro and go toslink into my DSP for the best CarPlay sound you can get.
@@CarAudioHorizons thanks for the reply. I mean i will run the android auto only for navigation, and run dap straight to dsp for music. Both head unit and dap plugged to dsp tho, so maybe the maps voice guidance will be sounds weird. I plan to do this way because headunit android auto sounds meh for listening music. But it's very interesting to learn your trick to make carplay sounds good
Hello, would this sound nice thru a mosconi 6 to8pro, and using the mosconi amas-LD 4? Thanks gr from holland
It’s far better than SBC, not sure you would want to spend $1,000 on a DAP just to use it for a Bluetooth connection.
My vehicle only have usb input for audio. No auxiliary input. I was looking for a 3.5 aux to usb so I can use the m11 plus unfortunately I cannot find any cable to send audio from the m11 plus to usb 😞
Yes, that’s unfortunate and I have heard many people saying the same thing that their vehicle only has USB. If that was me then I would invest in a DSP/AMP combo it separate DSP and amps. All depends on if you can get an interface for your vehicle like a PAC Amp pro, Zen piece, or something similar. Then you could get a DAP and go strait into the DSP for the best connection possible
@Car Audio Horizons thanks.
I have a gv70 I don't think I can change the interface. But I will definitely look into your options.
Hi, i dont have a DSP. How to connect the DAP to my in car Android head unit which connected to the amps? TQ

The PROBLEM is when I put volume on max, pause music, and drive, I can hear hissing, and it increases if speed up?
Even with a ground noise reducing isolater.
Btw this noise can be heard between and during tracks.
Yes, some vehicles auxiliary inputs are bad when it comes to ground loop noise and ground loop isolators are useless. Also different products handle that part of it better than others. I never had any noise with any of my FiiO products other than if I was using the analog outputs and charging at the same time.
@@abrahamgoodman536 I have never used a Qudelix 5K before or even heard of the brand.
Where do you get your music for it?
I had a lot of music I bought over the years such as CD’s, iTunes music, HD Tracks etc… that I put on mine. You can also use it with Tidal, Amazon HD music, Spotify etc…
My car 2018 370z has a USB input and RCA. Will this sound better connected to the RCA then my iPhone (using tidal) through USB?
When you’re connecting your phone via USB then you’re using the DAC’s inside your stock system. When using a DAP connected via auxiliary or RCA input then you’re using the DAC’s inside the DAP. Depending on the DAP it can make a big difference.
The best way to use a DAP is with a DSP as then you can bypass everything in your stock audio system and get the best audio signal possible.
So, the Aux port accepts digital input?
Auxiliary port on what? The DSP? Or are you talking about the coaxial digital output on the FiiO?
@@CarAudioHorizons the input for the Jeep. Aren't you feeding the Jeep on the Aux port? Or you are using USB?
@@RichardsWorld No, I use the inputs of my DSP Coaxial digital as well as a 3.5 to rca.

Just rip them to your PC and then I used JRiver media centre in the past, but there are lots of different programs out there.
@CarAudioHorizon Bro If im upgrading my car audio using dsp and my car oem head unit is not of good quality.. should i consider upgrading the headunit?
Does connecting our smartphones to a HU like Alpine UTX M08s and taking optical from alpine to DSP enhance the quality?
Or should i consider connecting the dsp coaxially for better quality with a DAP?
I spend my time too much on Spotify as Im from India...and whats your opinion about Spotify files..even if DAP is used and I stream Spotify is it gonna make any difference unless the file played is flac/wav?
I can only speak on the products I have had experience with an the newer Alpine Head units I haven’t tested.
I would never get a new head unit if you have a new or newer vehicle as most OEM head units have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I would look for something like what I use which is a PAC Audio Amp Pro with the toslink output. With that you can go optical digital straight into the DSP.
Unfortunately with car audio there are so many different factors that come into play. I have no idea what you’re expecting for sound quality, don’t know your vehicle year, make etc… i don’t use Spotify other than at home to watch the odd Joe Rogan podcast as sound quality wise it’s terrible.
@@CarAudioHorizons Yea i use a 2021 suzuki baleno hatch make( im from india brother)..i don't think it has been launched elsewhere other than india..maybe in an other name.. in simple words better reduce coversions as low as possible right.. either DAP directly to dsp coax ( even if DAP is used playing Spotify is shit right) or phone-DAC-Dsp optically...

Opinion on a DAP vs a flash drive? Both loaded with FLAC audio files.
The flash drive doesn’t have a dac so it will use your vehicle deck’s dac so it will only sound as good as your deck/head unit which is worse than the M11 dap, a lot worse if it’s the stock deck/head unit.
@@CarAudioHorizons it’s a pioneer deck, their site says 24 bit dac. I’m sure it doesn’t compare to the M11 obviously. I’m kinda new to all of this. Thanks for the response! The clarity Metallica video got me interested.

I am not sure however how I would listen to a DAP as my vehicle does not have a Auxillary port to plug into. It does have a USB which is hooked into the Audio.

Do they make a cable I could use with USB and the DAP to plug into my audio system ? Thanks for the article I will ne looking to purchase a DAP now.
Unfortunately using a DAP and going into your vehicles USB isn’t going to make much of a difference compared to your phone.
Probably the best thing to do is go with a DSP/AMP combo and hopefully your vehicle has some type of integration piece like a PAC Audio Amp Pro or Zen. If not call up Mobile Solutions in Calgary and ask For Larry or Chris to see what Helix options are available for your vehicle.
It’s not cheap but you can start with a DSP/Amp or separate DSP and amp or amps and build your system off of that.

Why wouldn’t you just use a Director or Conductor with a DAP and switch back and forth? Pretty simple to do. Who told you it wouldn’t work? There is no downside to a Helix DSP Ultra at all, I think you have been misinformed
I missed the part that you had the Helix SDMI piece. Yes, you’re correct but that’s more of a limitation of the SDMI piece. I use the PAC Audio Amp Pro with the Toslink output and you can select optical or coaxial digital inputs with the Director.
I don’t really use the optical input much to tell you the truth as it’s for the radio and Apple CarPlay which I never use much.

@@djrez2107 If you watch any of my product reviews then you will know that each device has it’s own sound signature.
You can use all kinds of products in different ways depending on what outputs it has. Some have coaxial digital outputs to connect straight to a DSP via coaxial digital which also has it’s own sound signatures. Some have 3.5 to RCA’s, some have 4.4 out, some products have no DAC at all like a Topping d10s(Has a DAC but you don’t use it) or SMSL po100 Pro which work with a phone or tablet. Then there are streamers as well that you can use in your vehicle with a DSP.
So to answer your question, yes you can use your phone with a dongle DAC but you won’t necessarily get the best sound. There are budget gems out there but for the most part it’s price dependent.
There is no dongle that comes close to a Fiio M17 which is Fiio flagship DAP. You can get other devices that work with phones and tablets that can be as good or slightly better than a budget DAP.
It just depends on your budget and preferences. I have been using DAP’s for years now and the Flagship DAP’s or even some of the mid tier DAP’s blow away anything in car audio for head units for sound quality.
@@CarAudioHorizons thanks for the reply, are you over at DIYMA ?

I better use my phone with a DAC like KA5 for $130
