It is the extremes of the M7 that are slightly below the quality of the top DAPs and the 425s probably will not reveal that to you.

However, I can tell you the channel balancing from zero upwards is excellent, even for efficient IEMs.

Opinions on Fiio v Shanling are not quite so clear. Click on Page 2 for Hardware & Software Impressions. You can, of course, stick on the supplied silicone case to render that issue moot. It becomes even more awesome when you consider that the battery is a fairly diminutive 3.8V 1880mAh Li-polymer. FM radio—a nice feature—requires wired headphones to work. One would think that if you had a computer with a USB-C port, you could just use a USB-C to USB-C cable with the M7. This particular one is silver but there does seem to be a hint of rose gold in it when held against a light. The converted Spotify music can be uploaded to FiiO for entertainment anytime you need. I would go with the R3. The Fiio allowed the characteristics of each headphone to come forth without overtly coloring their presentation.
