    Shanling M3 Ultra - New Update for our Compact Android Portable Player

    Yeah I love my iMac but it's not the most social kid on the playground... Works like a charm now though, steadily transferring 500Gb of flac files..

    Shanling M3 Ultra - New Update for our Compact Android Portable Player

    I am on a iMac and using a program to make android machines visible. If I plug in an android phone or Dap, it does not show up. I had the hardest time with the M3X getting it to show up, and although it I managed to make the M3U visible, the SD card simply wouldn't show. Never mind that, I...

    Shanling M3 Ultra - New Update for our Compact Android Portable Player

    It has arrived safely, thanks to Audiophonics. I picked up a 1Tb sd card this morning locally (no more postal services for this stuff thank you) and I am now loading it up with music. Of course I put Tidal and Bandcamp on there as well... Happy I remembered I needed the developer mode for USB...

    Shanling M3 Ultra - New Update for our Compact Android Portable Player

    Ah, it was an A brand (Sandisk) and not cheap at that. The shop is highly reliable, this time the postal services messed up big time. I try to stay away from Amazon as much as possible to support my local stores anyway. Thanks for the advice though, most appreciated.

    Shanling M3 Ultra - New Update for our Compact Android Portable Player

    I bit the bullet and purchased an M3U. Already mentioned in the M3X thread that that units volume wheel stopped working and I wanted an upgrade anyway. Looking forward in receiving it. Ended up buying the green one :-) What tipped the scale was a podcast by Darko Audio on the M3U. Expect to...

    Shanling M3X Portable Player - Our smallest Android Player

    Thanks, appreciate the reply. No it 's out of warranty, this was one of the first. But it's OK. These things are not built to last forever and I want the BT 5.0 upgrade as well. I have the volume app installed now and I won't sink any money into this when looking for an m3u.

    Shanling M3X Portable Player - Our smallest Android Player

    Thanks! I have seen their ads (audiophonics) but have had no experience with them so I appreciate the vote of confidence. Bought the m3x at ears Unlimited, but no m3u there either. I'll have a look!

    Shanling M3X Portable Player - Our smallest Android Player

    I love my M3X, however the volume control stopped working, the wheel can be used for on/off switching, but rotating it no longer up/downs the volume, which is pretty annoying. I can now only used it with a bluetooth headphone / IEMs. Ufotunately the 4.2 BT is not that great so it cuts in and out...

    Imac USB port vs IFI DAC

    So after extensive testing and a lot of plugging in and out of ports, the issue is solved. It is the USB ports on my Mac that cause it. I have since switched to the Thunderbolt /USB c port and the problem is gone.

    Imac USB port vs IFI DAC

    Hi Roseval, thanks for your reply. Will look into this. currently it is set to 192KHz, 32 bits. Not sure why, seems to be the standard setting.

    Imac USB port vs IFI DAC

    So... like I said in my intro post, I just purchased a IFI signature DAC/CAN HD6XX set. (full disclosure I am posting this sbuject also on the Apple forums since it is as much about that as any of the other components in the rig). I searched the site, found info on static and DAC (in combo)...

    New Member Introductions thread

    Hi all, new poster here, been lurking for a bit though. Most notable reason: I have a Shanling M3X I like, with a pair of Sennheiser IE300s that I jumped through hoops for to get me a 4.4mm balanced cable (have it now though). Have always loved headphones next to my other audio love: LPs. I...
