What is the XM5?

I was very much considering buying this dap. Never owned a dap from Fiio, but it sounds like a lot of issues with no resolve with firmware updates or other means. I can't support that. Sounds like the DX260 might be a better choice from that perspective. Too bad, I really want to hear what this...

In his review, Sandu States that the resolution and transparency of this device isn't great - thoughts? He said both the Fiio M23 and Hiby R6 Pro II are noticeably better in this regard. I would say that the transparency and resolution in my M6 Ultra are definitely somewhat lacking compared to...

Doubtful

So the treble on the R6 Pro II is double refined, lol? Just kidding. I appreciate this brief comparison and summary. Because of it, I've now made my choice. The M15S it shall be, for home use exclusively. I have on the move daps. Shanling has me a bit twisted up with the release of the M5 Ultra...

Different strokes for sure. I appreciate the Shanling house sound, as it's so easy to get along with. Plus I've always preferred a somewhat dark and warm signature, smooth and fatigue free for my piles of well known and rare 80s hair metal. Some of these recordings are hard to listen to with a...

Probably the M23, as it utilizes AKM, a known smoothish and velvet like presentation. I would imagine this to be the warmest sounding of the bunch as well, but I can't confirm that as I have not heard it. If you're looking for a sure fire different sound approach, I would recommend the Shanling...

Did the stand come with the AR5000?

I also own the M6U. I'll be getting this as money permits. I have zero need for android. I think it will be an update sound wise. Should be anyways.

Thank You

Can you describe the differences you're hearing in the upper frequencies between the 260 and M7?

I agree. Owning the OG M6 Pro (4497), M8 (4499), and M6 Ultra (4493), the Ultra sounds a bit blunted. I'm going to purchase the new M5 Ultra as well. It's very hard for me to venture outside Shanling AKM. It's a sound presentation I'm very familiar with and thoroughly enjoy. But I still want to...

Perfect, thank you

Has the Eddict player been improved to where it can now store more than one EQ preset? I use a different player on my other 3 Shanling daps because of this one thing. I really want to get this new dap, but I need to have those EQ presets.
