I'd buy another in a heartbeat for another system in the house but will let someone else get a chance to enjoy this! GLWS!

I actually went from a modded LP to GSX mini myself. The GSX is a solid device. It's a lot more neutral sounding than the LP with Elna caps, stock tubes. I also went back to solid state because I found the bass a bit too much, I too prefer the sound of solid state. The GSX was driving my LCD4s...

I started this thread because I come from a digital electronics background (though not audio related) and built and wrote software for a lot of low level hardware and applications, including writing USB drivers. From what I experienced first hand I would be hard pressed to know whether data...

Thanks that was it. I could swear it used to work for me even when the screen was off.

Sorry if this has been posted already but does anyone else have any problems using the outside playback buttons when the screen is turned off? Mine don't work at all unless the M8 screen is on.

Quick transaction and responsive. Would work with this user again in the future.

Sale pending.

Selling this because I opted to return my Modius for a Bifrost. This is the walnut XLR interconnect from the company Snake Oil. Bought it at $50, used for just over a week. Compatible only with the Schiit Magnius and Modius combo. I accept Paypal. The cost covers shipping.

Wishbon3 was very responsive and easy to work with. The TCs he sold me came exactly as described and was packaged well. A true pleasure buying from him and wouldn't hesitate working with him again in the future.

So many people selling their emps lately. Have people been upgrading to the Elite or something?

I really wish I went in on the headband cozy with my clears. Those seem comfy to boot!

I was thinking more along the lines of hollowed out 8 track with a pi zero inside and USB out to DAC.

That'd be cool, repurposed cartridge as digital music player.

Doing an extended stay at an Airbnb while we figure out where to settle down. Majority of my gear is tucked away in a storage unit many states away so I took my "mobile" set of the Shanling M8 and the Emypreans. At first I was skeptical but the M8 held its own quite surprisingly. Still, I longed...

Does anyone know how to improve reliability with UAPP and upnp on this device? I have the M8 connected to my DAC and I like the idea of controlling UAPP from my phone (using BubbleUpnp on Android), but the connection always drops after 1 or 2 songs. I've already set UAPP to not be optimized for...

On a bit of an acoustic kick at the moment:

Did monoprice raise the price on this? Why is it being listed at $800 now? Did they realize only later how popular this amp is? :smile:

Anyone else see that Meze's releasing a limited edition version, the Empyrean Phoenix? $4000, limited to 100 manufactured.

I actually just experienced this today. I had tried Prime Mode for the first time then switched back so I figured the switch wasn't entirely clean so I rebooted the device. None of these issues have really been a deal breaker for me so far. I'm actually loving the device for its sound and...

According to @tret it's happening in other music apps as well.

I'm strangely glad that I'm not the only one, might suggest it could just be an issue with software, unless the defect rate for these is just that high. @Shanling any thoughts here? I've been using the unit for about a week and experienced this almost 24 hours in after buying it new. It's merely...

I'm using UAPP almost exclusively for the M8 and at times the sound will just bug out, becoming half static and shifting all audio to one side. Does anyone else experience this? If I use other apps the audio sounds fine. Restarting UAPP fixes it quickly fortunately.

I was in the market for a Fiio M15 which isn't on anyone's list recently. Is the SQ really not that great? The Shanling M8 was also in my cross hairs and this thread has all but solidified that decision for me.
