Great Audio Gift: FiiO M3K Portable Hi-Res Audio Player And FiiO BTR3K Bluetooth Amplifier

Being an old timer in battery powered portable audio, including everything from a brand new 1970 Panasonic transistor radio to the world’s first portable CD player (Sony D5 in 1985) and toyed with Diamond Rio mp3 player (1999), I am truly impressed at these two under $100 offerings. While there’s bragging rights with the latest and greatest (and overly heavy imho) ‘reference devices’ that are big, overly bulky, and frankly hard to justify at lofty $3000(!) pricing for some, FiiO’s M3K portable Hi-Res Audio music player and BTR3K Bluetooth amplifier at $69.99 each give you two ways to enhance your enjoyment of music at very reasonable pricing. The M3K is a stand-alone music player with color screen and touchpad while the BTR3 is a wireless Bluetooth amplifier. Both units take advantage of the same Hi-Res Audio / H-Res Music capable modern DAC and amplification circuit, which FiiO chose after many hours of careful listening.
