Having great SQ success and compatibility using ZS between a Fidata X20 music server and a McIntosh C53 preamp/DAC . Best SQ achieved using a Lush 2 cable from ZS USB output and a ‘I.AM.D’ linear power supply to the ZS . I utilise the Zen app and all works well .

New M6 Pro Firmware .. still no gapless playback .. .. any light at the end of the tunnel ?

I’ve just read the last 99 pages with interest . Lots of learnings ! Do any of you have experience with Fidata HFAS1 -X20U music server ?I was using it seamlessly with Cambridge Audio edge set up - DAC/ streamer preamp and power amps .. have now transitioned to McIntosh C53 preamp/DAC and Mc...

A question of compatibility - I’m also using my M6Pro player as transport when connected to a home system . I have a great sounding but incredibly fussy McIntosh C53 Pre-amp with a built in DAC input . Like many Amps / Streamers / DAC , the USB B input of the McIntosh is the only input that...

Confirming post new MAX 1.01 update , the very cheapest bluetooth media remote from Chinese Taobao at price equivalent of £5 now works , prior to new firmware it didn’t

#60 Max I first heard the Max back last September at a Guangzhou Fair .. enjoyed but was not ‘floored’ as I was hoping for .. other new products by Shanling excited me more .. pleased to say the tuned and developed version of the Ibasso Max is what I was hoping it would and could be .. playing...

My ME700 have had 3 months+ of burn in and continue to sound exciting and impressive with lots of depth and soundstage , particularly versus similar priced comparisons previously mentioned in posts. As with all premium IEM’s I’ve purchased different tips make a substantial difference to the...

Received my M6 Pro today .. No burn in yet but sounds ‘Top of the Pops’ out the box so I’m grinning .Big broad powerful soundstage with finesse and great layering . Little colour versus my DX220 with 8EX amp .. both different sound propositions and signatures . Partnered with Shanling ME700...

Versus Amp8 .. I’ve got all the amp Modules bar amp2 .. for me it way surpasses them all , though I always had preference to 8 versus 9 . Am using with IEM’s Hifiman Re2000 and the new Shanling Me700’s

Here’s the amp8EX for those interested .. arrived today here in Guangzhou China , and sounds stunning - seemingly better at everything .. thanks Paul & Vince .. Merry Christmas to you and all

I heard them both side by side at the Guangzhou show in the Autumn . Respectfully there was no comparison and the ME700 sound to me like they have undergone further tuning/balancing since my first audition .Bigger Improved sound across all the dynamics .

Me700 received this.week .. purchased from Shanling Taobao .. beautiful packaged with individually numbered boxes .. after 50 hrs of burn-in they sound great . With the Comply tips it’s a full expansive punchy sound . Other enclosed tips give a little more finesse to the sound signature but...

@Whitgir .. Many thanks for arranging .. Funds and details sent by Paypal .. As a Head-Fi member living in Guangzhou China I communicated with Paul on Friday eve who confirmed to me to follow this process to confirm my order
