Good hunting!

The Sennheiser IE 800 work really well. They sound fantastic and there are no volume or background noise issues. You can get a case on Amazon. John

I think the battery life is pretty good on the M2 anyway!

I use Tidal with the M2. It's still excellent. Generic path or not.

Guess most players will have a "generic" signal path for streaming, so the special one is a bonus.

Fair review. It's a cracking player.

The M2 is fine with Sennheiser IE800.

Thanks for that. Useful advice.

Thanks ever so much for the advice. Don't know much about the Marantz (fond memories of owning a CD60SE). Is it a good enough source?

Everyone loves a bit of impedance adapter action.

After much listening, I ended up getting the Audeze LCD-X. The Grados and the Oppos were both good but I really liked the organic but open sound of the LCD-X.

So, I've had the unit for a few days now. Here are my thoughts... Hi res material sounds genuinely gorgeous. Fantastic dynamics. Really engaging organic sound. Hugely enjoyable. CD quality also excellent but you really can hear the step up to hi res. Not tried anything below that. Not a...

Thanks. Will check the firmware and will also post a few impressions after extended listening. Thanks again for all your help.

Went for a listen today with the IE800. Brilliant combination. The M2 is currently in a bag as I walk out the shop!

Thanks Robert.

Thanks for the speedy response. I'll probably just use it with the ie800s. I'll maybe compare the two once the m20 is out. Seems like you can't go far wrong with either.

Here's a tricky one. I have Sennheiser ie800 headphones. Should I wait for the M20 or are they fine with the M2? I've read the thread about the power of the M2 not suiting all IEMs. Thoughts? Thanks.
