Unique Melody Bone Conduction Family (MEST&MEXT and their siblings) Announcement and Impression Thread.
Hi all. I got to audition MEST as part of the ongoing tour. The overall experience was positive. I found MEST to have a well-balanced sound signature with pretty good low end extension with visceral impact, clean well-defined mids, and detailed treble. I felt like the bass impact was more...- nmatheis

AAW x Shozy Pola and Pola 39 Tour
Pola 39 are a significant improvement over the lower-end Pola. Sense of space is dramatically increased which is a needed at this price point. Bass has better speed and resolution but doesn't perform as well as I'd like with electronic music, lacking adequate sub-bass response for proper...- nmatheis

Shanling M6 Player - New version with ESS DACs coming soon
I also need gapless for many albums and can only see using the Prime mode after gapless is implemented. It's a shame because I find the Shanling app sounds best out of the various music apps I use (Neutron, Poweramp, and UAPP), but I'm basically forced to use those so I'm not distracted by gaps...- nmatheis

AAW x Shozy Pola and Pola 39 Tour
Hi all. Just got the tour kit, thoroughly cleaned the IEMs and tips I'll be using and started listening to POLA out of Shanling M6 using UAPP. Put on Rush's Moving Pictures 2015 remaster with extended dynamic range which usually has very good soundstage and am feeling underwhelmed so far. POLA...- nmatheis

Shanling M6 Player - New version with ESS DACs coming soon
No problem streaming with Google Play Music, Qobuz, and Tidal through their respective apps or through UAPP on my M6 (international version). Lovely sound the the price! @Shanling Any update on when we can expect gapless or update to next Android version?- nmatheis

Shanling M6 Player - New version with ESS DACs coming soon
I imagine that was in response to the lack of gapless. If so, I totally agree. It should've been a feature at product release. Fingers crossed it happens soon! I've had some albums sort incorrectly when using the Shanling app, whereas the same albums sort correctly in UAPP. I just don't think...- nmatheis

Shanling M6 Player - New version with ESS DACs coming soon
Thanks for the quick reply @Shanling. I tried that yesterday before posting, but it didn't do anything. As a follow-up, there was no change this morning. Red light is still on. M6 is still unresponsive. Force restart still doesn't do anything. Anything else you can think of that might help? We...- nmatheis

Shanling M6 Player - New version with ESS DACs coming soon
@Shanling After charging today, I unplugged my M6 to find that the red light above the power button was on but the M6 was unresponsive. Pushing the power button didn't turn the screen on. Holding the power button down for an extended period didn't turn the screen on. Holding power + upper left...- nmatheis

I haven't yet, but I'm considering doing a trade with an old headfi buddy who just purchased an R5 so we can each do an A/B comparison and see which we prefer. For myself, I'm already highly impressed with the smooth, warm-ish, enveloping sound of my M6. The descriptions I've heard of the R6...- nmatheis

Just checked, and mine is indeed showing this. I just wasn't playing music with the Shanling player last time so it didn't show up. Thanks!- nmatheis
