You can also choose how you want the wireless playback to be. It supports Sony LDAC that can transmit data at higher rates providing you with greater sound quality. It also has an FM radio playback. One of the things that we like about Fiio is that it has a volume wheel on the side, which warps us back to when the Walkman was still a thing. It’s simple and slick, we recommend you to try it.
