Pry off the outer cover There is a black wire that connects the 2 sides. We need to remove that -unsolder on both sides so we get truly balanced. The gold wire is ground. The red wire is right. The green wire is left. After the changes this is what the right side looks like This is what the...

I bought a pair last week and just converted them to balanced so i could drive them through my A&K SR15. It's fairly straightforward but soldering is required. I can post pics if anyone is interested.

Lyrics dont work. I used foobar2000 to load lyrics into lra files in the same directory as the flac files - no lyrics in SR15. Then into LYRICS tags - still no lyrics in SR15. Does anyone have this working?

Last night I thought the SR15 doesn't like LAME CBR 320kbps mp3 files. I have an album like that on my sd card - plays fine in foobar2000. SR15 says "File not found" Even when SR15 is connected via USB, the album is invisible via SR15. This morning I found SR15 plays CBR 320kbps mp3 files...

Its not quick charging from what I can tell, and if you have bluetooth on to drive speakers and wifi on to stream, charging is very slow. Last night I turned bluetooth and wifi off and let it charge on a Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger. It started at 54%. 7 hours later I checked and its 100%.

Just got a used SR15 from B&H - ordered yesterday - on my doorstep this morning! I'm trying to navigate using Folders but don't see how to get back to the parent of the folder I'm in. Any suggestions?

I recently bought a Shanling M5S which I like a lot for its balanced output into HD600s and aptx into Edifier S1000DB & S2000Pro speakers. But the M5S doesn't support sending id3 tags over Bluetooth. In every car I've tried I get something like: With the M5S nothing works in the car except...

My understanding is that id3 tags need to be provided by the Bluetooth sender for Album, Artist, Title to show up. If the M5S can't do this, or will not support id3 tags anytime soon, I need to return the unit.

I switch between pairing with speakers and pairing with a car. If I am not patient scanning doesn't connect. It is hard to go thru the menus to select the Bluetooth for the car while driving! I'm talking about pairing with a car. I've tried several different cars and the song title, album and...

I made several comments in posts above - and am including them below. I've had to power cycle the M5A every couple of days to clear it out. Sometimes it starts skipping during playback, sometimes it won't connect to Bluetooth, sometimes it has trouble powering off!! Here's a summary of...

I'm using KZ ZS7 ($50) with balanced cable ($30) and really like the results. HD600 with balanced cable is even better. The 2.0 firmware is better than 2.1 - but it has trouble with bluetooth pairing, no song info, less frequent low volume, etc.

Ok - I downrezzed to 2.0. Its very much faster to download the zip and put the update.bin on the tf card and do the update from the card, than to do OTA update. I'll post any changes I notice. So far it seems better. To summarize my 2.1 firmware experiences - the UI is laggy and very prone to...

I did an ota firmware update to 2.1 (slow) on Sunday. More usability issues today: Listening to balanced. Pause playback and plug in cable to unbalanced without headphones. Unit is confused - volume is very low on balanced need to unplug both and wait a minute to reset. Then listened to...

Usability is so bad it is probably going back to Amazon. This morning it was playing to Edifier S2000 with aptx. It wouldn't connect/play in the car. It wouldn't play plugged in to aux. I had to power M5s off and on before it would play again. Is anyone else having trouble switching between...

I've listened to the M5s with several headphones, balanced and not, Bluetooth with and without aptx. Everything sounds better - I'm listening to more music and really enjoying it! Hopefully they will update the firmware to fix usability issues...
