The FiiO M17 Desktop-Class Digital Audio Player has a desktop-grade DAC, amplification, power supply, and more that give it the output power and sound quality that is made to rival that of hi-end desktop systems.
The left and right audio channels each contain a desktop-class, 8-channel ES9038PRO DAC. This means that each audio channel has 8 parallel outputs summed together for superior resolution and minimal distortion for purer audio reproduction.
