    [FiiO M6] Portable High-Resolution Lossless Music Player,Embracing A Wireless Future

    Btw, as far as a lack of CPU power, I suppose that's a legit grievance. But given that the last time I attempted an Android DAP was the Cowon D3 this thing flies in comparison to that DAP. I don't really use the Tidal app, although it seems to be acceptable when I kicked the tires a bit...

    [FiiO M6] Portable High-Resolution Lossless Music Player,Embracing A Wireless Future

    It's not as good as I'd like it to be, but I went in knowing that it would be ~12 hours for music playback. And honestly now that I've owned it for a few weeks and kicked the tires, it's not that bad.....easily a full day of usage for me and that's the important thing. The USB-C is a good...

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    This is my eventual concern with these types of devices. :frowning2: Would be nice to know if there's actually a way to DIY a solution that can be used, that's fairly cheap (I agree...$25 to risk damaging the device on my own doesn't sound appealing, but $25 for a vendor offering would be worth...

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    Same feelings here and very much appreciated. I am always rethinking my DAP setup and, eventually, I will be retiring my larger players and thanks to the M0 and the updates and support here I will be seriously considering one of those larger devices from them. A Happy New Year to all!

    I definitely prefer the lack of stickers - would look gaudy on a player this small.

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    Nice review and a lot of good points. In particular shoring up the real estate with the left icons as a few extra characters could go a long way. Maybe they can offer a way to turn that off as an option? I don't agree with the larger library though. I have a 200GB microSD in mine now and...

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    I'm all for years of firmware updates, don't get me wrong. But three years was fairly rare even ten years back - two years was more the average from my recollection - two examples from my own collection are the Sandisk Sansa with two years of updates (a closer price point the M0 btw) and the...

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    Upgraded to 2.5 a few days back (like the clock feature btw) -- but the USB transfer speeds to my microSD, via the player, have dropped to ~500 KB/s on average. Anyone else having this issue? I already tried a reset but no dice, going to drop this back to 2.4 to see what happens. [EDIT] and...

    I keep this link handy also (mainly for checking for firmware updates, but also has the Windows driver) : http://en.shanling.com/download/56

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    I don't generally use the M0 as a DAC, but just checked my Windows 10 build 1809 system (using the M0 USB driver INF) and it is working (USB/DAC both). I'm on firmware 2.3. Also pulled out my Lubuntu laptop, tried the device there and it's also working fine. Of note is that I'm seeing 24/96...

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    The time on mine has gotten out of sync at least twice - not sure yet why as I only really notice it when I'm in the gym (I use the device to track the time, while I'm there). Could very well be battery related, where dead battery = time gets out of whack. Easy enough fix though.

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    Every time I carry this thing around I feel like it screams "wrist band!" to me. I know it's not a huge product line to warrant a lot of accessories but a band would really be useful in the gym, coupled with BT headphones.

    "Recently Added" for My Music? Oh I'll be checking that setting out, thank you kindly. Updating now....

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    Appreciate the upcoming firmware - when it's ready it's ready. In the meantime it's good as-is. I do wish that someone would make a wrist band though as this thing is perfect for something like that, especially if you're using BT headphones. I've read here that iPod Nano bands might(?) work...

    Cowon Z2 (Next Cowon Player?)

    Quote: There's really not much else Cowon can fix, at least performance wise, with the D3.   It's got a 82xx Telechips CPU and 256MB of RAM, which is just pitiful for 2012 (and it wasn't too great for 2011, either - that was strictly 2010 territory, for an Android device).   The...
