It shouldn't get so hot that it is uncomfortable to hold for a minute or two. However, I've found that it does get very warm, almost unusually warm, especially when using low sensitivity headphones or IEM's. Those will make it unusually warm, and that is fine. The way Shanling designed the M8...

I PM'd you. Thanks!

The M8 has a car mode, and hi- definition bluetooth, as does the Mosconi DSP unit. So one could make the reasonable expectation that the M8 would be useful in a car setting. The sound was mostly excellent. However, It would make sense to mount the unit somewhere in the area of the driver (with...

Hi, I'm having an issue, actually issues with my M8. I use it almost exclusively in my car with a very high end Mosconi/ Focal system. Whenever I restart the player after it goes to sleep or shuts down, the volume is back to 50%. The control is not very linear and I have to twist the knob dozens...

hey all, The M11 has been getting mostly positive reviews, especially when speaking of power output and features. The power output is an inegma- let me explain- we know that balanced outputs are higher power ratings, and also ONE of the reasons balanced generally sounds better. But with the...

Hey all, Just got a Fiio m11 last week, and it's a great piece, as the reviews mostly suggest- fast, well built lots of features, and all the good things. The problem is power output related. On all the Chi- Fi IEM's I purchased, they sound fantastic through the balanced inputs IF they have...

by uelover:   "Kiteki is a he.   The misconception of he as a she is one of the reason why many kept talking to him."   Well, I thought so from some of the assertive and agressive responses, but that is besides the point.     This is supposed to be, I would assume, an open and...

What happened to kiteki? Over 7400 posts and BANNED? Another forum said head-fi was like the "old German party" that shall remain nameless (I don't want to get banned)- But she (?) was the only reason I checked this forum so often because of knowledge of DAP's, DAC's, etc. Got MUCH info...

  BUMP-   wanna throw the A-T M50's in the mix too..... even though it's a cheaper price point. One of these three or something I missed?   Quote:  

Hi all,   OK I'll try this single thread for advice idea. Seems like it could get a bit cluttered real fast, but here is my situation.  I am pretty new to the hobby but have been an audiophile since the late 70's. With my current budget, I like to keep my gear prices around/ under $200 per...

I own the Ultrasones and the V-Moda. For portable, lower power sources, the V-Modas will, in fact, rattle your ears and cheek bones. The Ultrasones are cleaner, tighter bass, also very good punch- but amplification IS recommended. I was disappointed UNTIL I put my little $25 Fiio on there...

Does anyone know if ALL the T51's being shipped in the recent past- like the last few months (from what I gather) are the "bad sound" blue thingy ones? Or has someone gotten the unrevised version lately?   My only hope is the site I ordered it from is based in Canada, so I may be able to get...

Quote:   I did a lot of searching and reading and found this other site- merimobile. I will let you know. The dilemma is I also "won" one of the Rocoo P's through Jack's auction, but I can get one around here for about the same price- I thought I was bidding on the Studio in my haste. So...
