    Shanling M3X Portable Player - Our smallest Android Player

    The SD card slot cover on my M3X broke. A couple of pieces of rubber came off with use, and now the cover just hangs loose unless I keep it in place with a piece of tape. Is there any way to replace it? Or is the tape a solution as good as any other?

    Yes. No luck. Like I said, my M3X doesn‘t even react when I plug it into a wall socket. The battery’s probably busted.

    So apparently, my M3X simply died today. I left it in my bag overnight, it wasn’t playing music. I took it out of the bag this morning, no response. I hooked it up to a charger, no sign of life. Left it charging for a few hours, nothing. Any suggestions?

    How do you get uapp on the M3X?

    What is the exact name of UAPP on the store app on the M3X? I searched for it and couldn't find it. The Shanling app is very smooth, my main problem with it is the fade-in of tracks that I just don't understand. I've had this with the Fiio app on occasions, as well, and I don't know if it's...

    Thank you for your reply. You’ve been very clear, and yeah, brightness setting is a slider, just there at the top. I expected an icon, that’s why I missed it at first and convinced myself it wasn’t there! It’s a bit disappointing about the track numbers. I have some multi-disc albums with lots...

    Maybe my car system isn’t compatible with this then. It works automatically with my iPod Touch as soon as I plug in the USB cable, but with the M3X I tried selecting Line Out first and no results, then Vehicle Mod and nope, still not working. Have to connect through the 3.5mm jack, which...

    So, the M3X is here. It's quite hefty for its size, but also looks robust enough. It's a far cry from the paper-thin iTouch, that's for sure! I need explanations for some functions, namely: - what technical difference does it make between selecting "single" or "dual" in the DAC option? It...

    By the way, which SD card has good transfer speed without breaking the bank? I always cheaped out on SD cards, but for the M3X I‘m gonna get a 128GB one at the very least, and at the usual 25MB/s speed of cheaper cards, it’s gonna take a looooong time to fill it up!

    Shanling M3X Portable Player - Our smallest Android Player

    Thanks, I ordered one. My old iPod Touch’s battery has been basically dead for more than a year. I wanted a replacement in the same screen size/price tier, which seems no easy find these days. Most DAPs now are either very small and/or have questionable interface, or they cost more than I’m...

    Most fun headphones you've ever heard...

    Sennheiser IE8/IE80. Best IEMs I’ve tried and a sound signature I’m still looking for in a full-size can. Haven’t succeeded yet.

    Meze 99 Classics Discussion + Impressions Thread

    I agree to an extent. The 99C is supremely comfortable, but the sound signature is weird. It's the first time I find that a headphone actually improves using the iTunes preset "reduce bass" EQ. The bass on the 99C creates a massive wall of sound that can be really distracting. The headphone...

    HiFiMan HE4XX

    Hmm. Hmmmmmmm. Been reading some reviews. Always amazing how different people’s opinions on a headphone can be, LOL. Some say it’s the best compromise in the HD line, some say the mids disappear when the bass kicks in, some say the highs are non-existent, some say the highs can be too...

    HiFiMan HE4XX

    Ah, this is relevant to my interests because I like The Beatles a lot! I agree on the M50x, I bought it based on the mad praise it gets but it’s as V-shaped as they get. Nice bass but that’s pretty much it for me. The Beatles can get a little shouty and sharp even with less treble-leaning...

    HiFiMan HE4XX

    Guys, can you help me understand if the 4XX may suit my tastes? Background: my desktop chain is PC -> Topping D30 DAC -> Magni 3. I also have a Topping A30 (with Burson V5 opamps) but the Magni sounds slightly warmer and less dry so I usually go with the Magni. My other headphones at the...
