    Shanling M6 Ultra - 4x AKM AK4493S DAC, Snapdragon 665, Android 10 DAP

    Yes, I primarily listen to Apple Music and as of now do not know of anything that I can use for EQ. Power Amp worked for a while and then after the last couple of updates became so unstable I just took it off the player. I find myself just listening to music with my iPhone instead... which is...

    Shanling M6 Ultra - 4x AKM AK4493S DAC, Snapdragon 665, Android 10 DAP

    Yes, same here. It is pretty much useless to me for any tweaking at all. It just sits next to my chair on my table. I have thought about selling mine. It is astonishing to me that for a music player it has no real sound adjustments and lousy Wifi. I would not recommend the unit to anyone.

    I really enjoyed your review! Thanks.

    Shanling M6 Ultra - 4x AKM AK4493S DAC, Snapdragon 665, Android 10 DAP

    I had the FH9s for a while and ended up returning them. They started making a weird noise on the right one. So I sent them back to Amazon. I did think that they sounded really nice on the M6 Ultra. In fact they sounded as good or better than my Ananda's. I don't have a high end set of IEMs right...

    Shanling M6 Ultra - 4x AKM AK4493S DAC, Snapdragon 665, Android 10 DAP

    I enjoy my Hifiman Ananda's with my M6 Ultra. I listen to Apple Music and don't even need to EQ them. The naturally warm sound of the M6 Ultra helps to make up for a bit of what may be lacking. I have also used my Sennheiser 58X on this unit. It has a nice mellow sound, very enjoyable. Even my...

    Shanling M6 Ultra - 4x AKM AK4493S DAC, Snapdragon 665, Android 10 DAP

    I would tell you but I uninstalled the Power Amp Equalizer. It was not worth the trouble. I am not going to spend anymore time on it.

    Shanling M6 Ultra - 4x AKM AK4493S DAC, Snapdragon 665, Android 10 DAP

    Thank you for this message. I am not sure what I would ask them. I did a complete removal of the Power Amp Equalizer app and restored it with the latest version with the original presets. I have not changed anything in the app from the way it was before the latest Ultra update. Fortunately the...

    Shanling M6 Ultra - 4x AKM AK4493S DAC, Snapdragon 665, Android 10 DAP

    Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to the Power Amp Equalizer application for Android. It is supposed to be one of the better equalizers out there. It is flakey now and pretty much unusable. As I have said, I do love the sound from the Ultra, but I think it is a really clunky experience as...

    Shanling M6 Ultra - 4x AKM AK4493S DAC, Snapdragon 665, Android 10 DAP

    I have had the same issue. It is either garbled or emits no sound at all at times. I have turned it off now and don't know when or if it will ever work again. Frustrating. As much as I like the sound on the M6 Ultra I find its user interface and the Android to be uninspired and not very...

    LETSHUOER S12 - Next big planar? (Impressions & Discussion)

    I would agree with this assessment. Especially in light of the fact that you already have the S12s… I have never heard them so I don’t have a reference for the difference between the two. I also agree that it could be very minimal difference. I do EQ my earbuds to heavier bass as a rule and this...

    LETSHUOER S12 - Next big planar? (Impressions & Discussion)

    The @12's arrived about half an hour ago. I would adjust what I have said about a couple of things. 1. The cable on the Pros are very nice but they are two strands and in fairness to the FH9s, those I believe are four strands. So a nice feel on both but not the same level. 2. I would say the...

    LETSHUOER S12 - Next big planar? (Impressions & Discussion)

    I have had the S12 pros twice and sent them back... Amazon hates me. ;-) I have tried a bunch of other IEMs and I have the S12 Pros coming in literally just a few minutes from Amazon. I bought a pair of Fiio FH9's that cost 559.00 and realized that the S12 Pros were about 95% as good. So I sent...

    LETSHUOER S12 - Next big planar? (Impressions & Discussion)

    I have the Hifiman Ananda's. I got them open box for 550.00, but the XS is very good. If you like the S12 sound then you will like these.

    Pre-Order The Sennheiser IE 200 at Audio46

    I was watching a review from Headphones.com and he said it was plastic. I think that is where they were able to cut down the price so much. He spoke highly of them.
