Hello Shanling
How is volume control implemented on the M2? I know the NJW1194 chip as used in the M3 is not implemented here. In the M2, is it digital volume control via the MCU?

 

[Shanling]

Yes you are right

Thanks for the quick reply!

Here comes the good news:
 
Thanks to the positive feedback of our new DAP M2, Shanling decides to launch two new color-space grey and gold!
 
The two elegant color versions, together with the original black version, offers our users more choices. Enjoy music!

Good question. I haven't tried it yet (and am an Android noob) but will give it a shot.

As it worked with my iPhone and another user's Samsung Galaxy S4, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't with other Android devices.

Oh good. Didn't realize it already worked with a G4.

Yeah I see one post mentioned dac in android working but after that more mention of it. If it possible the more versatile M2 is as I also like to discover new song on Spotify everyday and cache them. I'm using iPhone now but in the future id like to have android phone as dedicated Spotify player and keep them offline after caching to reduce emi interference. I don't mind stacking with M2.

This is good news. Also Samsung s4 and later model seems to natively support external dac and doesn't rely on 3rd party usb driver and quite stable unlike some other phone I tested with my Q1.

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but are you guys sure the M2 is android based?  The OS looks more like the FiiO X5 II and some other Chinese DAPs I've seen.  If it's Android, I was sure fooled...

Cheers!

No Android, same firmware base as used by FiiO and some other DAP makers. Already confirmed by Shanling. fairx is intending to use the M2 as USB DAC with an Android smartphone as transport source for streaming.

Okay, that makes more sense to me.  Sorry about the confusion, I hope it works out for Fairx. 

Cheers and All the Best!
