  If you enjoyed the video, Subscribe to the channel. It really helps. <br>FAQs ANSWERED:<br>- My T-Shirt: <a href="https://technostalgism.com/go/store/">https://technostalgism.com/go/store/</a><br>- ESP: Probably compressed. Fiio recommend you keep it off for critical listening. As said, there&apos;s some buffering even with ESP OFF - and I tested this by actually walking with it. It&apos;s not normally skipping with ESP OFF. Fiio also mentioned that for standard audio CDs, ESP provides 60 seconds of pre-reading; for MP3 discs, &nbsp;120&quot;. Enabling ESP improves playback stability, but does not significantly enhance disc reading performance.<br>My theory - a short uncompressed buffer - generally does the job. Turn ESP on only for extreme environments. <br>- Yes, the DM15 has gapless audio CD playback.<br>Thanks for watching!

  I bought one and returned it after a few days. Pairing Bluetooth with a car is not possible, the very reason I wanted it. But worse: when I connected it through digital out to my Cambridge Audio CXN it sounded very mufled all treble had seem to be gone compared to when I hook up my CA Azur 740C digitally to the CXN. This is crazy. You may assume the tiniest of nuances when hooking up CD players as transports only, &nbsp;but not such a huge difference in sound. <br>Also: the buttons are terrible and the display was flickering regularly. <br><br>I bought a Sanling EC Zero AKM instead and it’s much better in almost all ways. Also rips to USB sticks larger than 32Gb which the FIIO can’t handle.
