Great, how would you compare it to M2?

I'm not one to compare when I don't have both on hand. From memory, M5 has better dynamics and fuller sound but auditory memory is a tricky thing.

Today was M5 + UM Miracle with Fleetwood Mac and DJ Krush. Sounded great. Didn't feel anything lacking. Was a little worried because M5 does have higher than typical output impedance (~6-7 Ohm IIRC), but both 6 & 12 driver UM IEM sound great with M5 so far.

I'll take another day or two to acclimate to M5 and then see what I think vs. other DAPs I've got on hand.

I'm glad they are sticking with the Muses 8920 low pass filtering amp. I find it to be smooth for the highs. Not to mention, having the AK4490 as the primary DAC chip! It sounds like it will be a very detail oriented monster that runs on butter cream! Consider me a buyer!
