I have iPhone 13 pro max Official camera dongle with lightning charger and usb a. And a white high quality usb a cable from sony ps5 joystick Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter https://store.apple.com/ca/xc/product/MK0W2AM/A When I had H5 unit it worked absolutely fine in usb dac mode with...

No problems with iems at all, I use mine at medium gain all the time and I have 18 ohm, you get iems with super low ohm in that case I am more then sure low gain will do it right. It is true m5u packs a load of power even stronger than H5 when I had it. M5u is very versatile it will accommodate...

It be hard for me to say exactly the difference but by memory when I had zx507 and wm1z the 507 sounded similarly warm and less soundstage, overall had lots of similarities. In my opinion if you compare it to m5u you be around similar warm sound but with m5u more detailed sound precision, oh...

Ummm am I correct or your m5u came with the leather case? Sad if so cause I didn’t have one in my package 😔😢

Hehe those good old days I remember modding my wm1z into something that was unimaginable with the rare capacitors I forgot the name of those. You are absolutely right those sel a silmics are veryyyy goodI do love them a lot. How come you left behind the 320 thats a very decent dap as well I had...

I started my experience with shanling m8 back then a few years ago and I remember they had quite some issues with there software and small limited storage as well. My Spotify was bugging and the app never remembered my offline tracks… but the sound was really good I like the m8 a lot. Later to...

If that can help you can refer to this link here and see what akm filter does, each has a special purpose and with m5u its so easily discernable which is not a common thing. Usually its very subtle as a difference...

We found out that sharp roll off has the most dynamic and bassy sound and also im medium gain you get an edge up in that same direction for more fun and punchier sound. After my burn in I find the sound is more open and fluid, not restrained or contested like you calling it. I also found the...

Hi I tried ordering it via that store but they had none available when I was purchasing mine so I went a head and bought directly from shanling website store and requested to value the package at 100$ it was shipped via dhl and arrived in 3days I think. I paid in usd and had 38$ in customs so it...

Definitely as the output impedance is high, this fluctuates to a more prominent impression of the change in sound. More impedance makes it more bassier meatier and louder. This is why m5u is so powerful and plus on top it has more amp power compare to my H5 which is also same ohm output. I...

Woaa mine doesn’t do that when I open favourites. My m5u don’t want to go into usb dac mode when connected to my iPhone 😑

I experience similar changes when tested on my sony daps and previously owned daps as well. What I found is with m5u I use medium gain as with other daps is always high gain, so since m5u is the most powerful dap I owned it sound too loud in high gain. Medium gain is similar to my wm1zm2 which...

The new hd620s paired with m5u gota be something outa this world too, I feel safe with m5u it can take anything and sounds so delightfully. @ToneDeafMonk Oh yeaa I can tell you in medium gain its very sweet.

I also find when in medium gain everything sounds more right and in line compared to low gain. Low gain seems to miss some bass poweress and some vocals to my ears seems less full or a bit quieter. In medium its just right in everything segments. My volume is between 30 and 40 medium gain. I...

On my side for streaming I use iphone 13 pro max and AirPlay to m5u. I stream only Spotify and always been a huge lover of Spotify nothing pleased me more and all my favourite music is there. What I found is that AirPlay sounds better then Bluetooth and usb dac mode is the ultimate best...

My iem is 18omh and comparing m5u with sony which has low impedance output the sound curve seems on par, I didn’t find m5u to be a problem. What I do find is m5u has huge power output its very strong amp. I use mine in medium gain and around 35/100 volume feels like a sweet spot there to me

Wow amazing review thanks a lot friend, you really went threw all of what we would need to know. I am bit sad you didn’t like the m5u pairing with me600, could you give it a try with fast roll off filter? I found it get very detailed and super dynamic in that filter, also it not as warm when in...

Any reviews available

Hey I see you got the ME600 could you shade some light how it sounds? I am very curious about that iem and how it stands to the mighty ie600. ME600 has very interesting specs and a special approach to hardware setup, it reminds me my favourite 64 audio with tubless design and tia drivers 🙃😛 and...

I agree he didn’t give proper attention to m5u and many people don’t cause they think shanling sound house is too warm and missing some nuances cause they think its warm then automatically its like that, well I think its not true. I always loved and prized hugely the wm1z m1 for its amazing...

They have similar family tuning, H5 would be the more fun and more V shaped yet very detailed and super fun. In H5 also the bass is more prominent and very physical and treble has more bite. M5u is the more balanced and in line for a more right tuning approach with some warmth and more delicate...

Yep its in the menus hehe But battery care I totally love that option so it dont ware the battery to fast. So far I am really liking the stamina of the m5u very long lasting it beats my Sony's 😅

I do not really agree with that statement on Sandu side, I find m5u as detailed even sharper in reproducing the notes and sounds of the music then my wm1zm2! Yes it is a warmish tuning yet it doesn’t miss the details its all there… he said using low tear iems or headphones is where the problem...

I would like to see that too definitely be a flagship level there, I agree android is bad for sound it has its impurities, but I love streaming and luckily I can use airplay from my iPhone so easily and in my tests it sounds better then ldac as ldac is colouring the sound and airplay stays...
