Overview
Not a phone with a music app, the M1 Plus is a dedicated portable player built around an ESS DAC for lossless and high resolution files. Music lives on internal storage or a microSD card, and a touch screen runs playback while Bluetooth and Wi-Fi link it to headphones and network sources.
A dedicated DAC and broad format support give music files their own device, leaving the phone free for everything else. Wireless options cover Bluetooth headphones and DLNA streaming at home. The listing skips the headphone outputs and what ships in the box, two details a hi-fi buyer will want before ordering.
Who it's for
Commuters and home listeners who own a library of lossless or DSD files get a separate device with its own DAC and storage. People who listen only through streaming subscriptions on a phone gain little from it.

- Wide lossless and DSD format support
- MicroSD slot expands storage
- AMOLED touch screen
- Headphone outputs and box contents not listed
- Battery rated at 12 hours average
- Internal storage is 32 GB
Performance notes
Sound quality is set by the DAC chip and the amplifier stage that drives the headphones, along with how well the headphone load matches that output. File format matters too: lossless and DSD files carry the full source, while Bluetooth playback is limited by the codec the headphones accept. Screen use and wireless links draw on the battery.
