Overview
Plugging in wired headphones for hi-res playback is what the FiiO Echo is made for, with two Cirrus Logic DAC chips and both single-ended and balanced jacks. A color screen shows album art, lyrics and retro VU meter displays.
Clean, powerful wired output in a pocket sized, retro styled player is the reason to buy. Internal storage is small, and streaming apps are not mentioned, so it plays your own files.
Who it's for
Commuters and home listeners with downloaded hi-res files suit this player. Streaming only listeners will find little use without a music library.
Pros and cons
- Balanced output drives many headphones
- Wide format support
- Retro display themes
- Small built in storage
- Streaming apps not mentioned
- Storage figure differs between bullets and specs
Performance notes
Dual DACs with independent clocking keep left and right channels clean and stable. The balanced output delivers more power and better separation than the single-ended jack. Battery life drops when driving demanding headphones at high volume.
