webline said: (And if the developers would also remove the 20.000 files limit... I'll probably buy a 2nd M5u :) I would then rather buy the Shanling/Onix XM 5. Then you have another sound signature. The XM 5 is also said to be a bit better than M5U. I will also buy the XM5 and I think I will...

Trial version ok. I also tried the test version and then contacted audfree support. The trial version is just to see how it works and does not convert in full quality. To do this you would have to buy the full version. For this reason I only bought the one month version to try it out because I...

So first of all I have to say I'm a music lover, not a complete audiophile who completely breaks down music into all parts. The music has to be fun for me and encourage me to tap my feet to the beat. Yes, I have to say that Audfree is very slow as a Mac OS version. As a Windows version it is...

Everyone as they want. It's enough for me to have a good DAP in my hands and hear a fantastic sound. Then I'll be incredibly happy :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile: :beerchug:

I also bought a lot from hdtracks.com but I can't hear any difference from the Tidal downloads that I converted to 24 bit 96HZ. So why spend up to 20 euros on an album. I'd rather invest the money in IEMs.

Just a little tip for you if you don't have Tidal. You can take the trial version, which is one month free plus 1 month more to test for 2 euros. Then there is software for downloading and converting at www.audfree.com, for example Flac 24 bit 192 Hz. This software costs 15 euros for one month...

Yes, from the photos the XM5 somehow looks more solid and robust. I really like it when the whole body is made of aluminum. Ok, with the sandwich design of the M5U you might save some weight. By the way, this shouldn't be a nasty criticism of the M5U, just my personal preference for a body made...

So I'm not sure about the screen. When I tap on it with my fingernails it sounds completely different than on my Samsung S23 But you are right. There is nothing to complain about when it comes to hardware.

I've never heard the H5 before. But I also think I'll try out the MX5. Somehow I like the case too and it makes a valuable impression. But first I'll buy the Pilgrim Noir next month. And then the XM 5. I'm curious which one I like better, the XM5 or M5U

@ Vitaly2017. This could be the ZM 2 killer. You said that the M5U is very close. I'm already thinking about buying the MX5. I think the casing also looks higher quality. So I was disappointed with the M5U case from the first moment. Feels really cheap when you pick it up. It all seems like...

I've already tried it out. The M5U simply doesn't recognize the card. It's really strange since he read the card beforehand. :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:

This is a very good question. But I can't answer that either. I now have the following problem. I formatted my Micron SD card on my Macbook Air M2 in FAT32 format. Now the M5U can no longer find the card. I tried everything. Card removed, reinserted, NADA!!! Switch off and boot up again...

Thank you for your quick response. Is the XM 5 warmer overall or more neutral and flat? The M5U is a bit warmer but not as warmly tuned as the M8. Where would you classify the XM5? And it's also very important to me how he deals with the upper midrange. I don't like a strong emphasis on the...

I think every M5U owner will answer your question as to whether the player has enough power with a clear yes. A friend of mine said the M5U has more power than the DX320 with Amp 12 EXN -S Ada mod. I think that says it all. Maybe you should read the last 13 pages, it might be helpful...

@ Shanling As you know, I have the M5 U, which I'm very happy with. I chose the M5 U because I like the sound of AKM more. I like the AKM-based players better, especially in the treble range. But I'm still curious about the XM5. A question about the high frequency range. Does the player sound...

Hello everyone here. I have the M5 U which I am also very happy with. I chose the M5 U because I like the sound of AKM more. I like the AKM-based players better, especially in the treble range. But I'm still curious about the XM5. A question about the high frequency range. Does the player sound...

@ Cerbatillo wrote this: And about the comparison with m6u... I think this one is better in every aspect Personally, I have never heard of the M6U. I had the M8. He's also very warmly tuned. And I can say the M5U is not quite as warmly tuned and also crisper. Based purely on the sound, I...

OTA update is easy to do . I had not one problem

Short review

Even with IEMs that only have 9 ohms it seems to work very well. ToneDeafMonk uses the Elysian Pilgrim and he says it's a good combination. I'm in Malaysia the month after next and will buy the Pilger Noir, let's see how it works with the M5U

I had the DX 300 and 320 too. And I would definitely go for the M5U. To my ears it sounds better. And if you compare the prices it's amazing what a great sound the M5U has.

Not only could it be the best purchase for the price. It is the best buy.Better then all Sony Players if you don't want to buy the ZM 2. You definitely won't regret the purchase.

I've been listening for several hours now even though I actually wanted to go to sleep early. But it doesn't work. This player is so captivatingly incredible for what little money it costs. I just listened to a complete Patricia Barber album called Cafe Blue. And yes, I agree with @ToneDeafMonk...

The N3U does not have the typical full, warm tube sound that you would imagine. The M5U sounds warmer. The software is better too. I also wanted to buy the N3U because of the full, warm tube sound. I then decided on the M5U.

My coming also without the leather case. My dealer nt had it then i found it at Ali
