By the way @Shanling why is there no chromcast option its as useful as air play on apple side as on android. There is no air play on android’s….

I can totally understand the frustration when things don’t get right. On my side my only concern with m5u is that it doesn’t work in usb dac mode with my iPhone 13 pro max but weird enough shanling h5 did flawlessly…….. A bummer as usb dac is the highest quality to enjoy streaming on m5u. But...

From what it seems only tidal is available and its a shanling app design and no offline option. No other streaming apps available atm just tidal. I whish Spotify was there 😫😭

There is big sale on aliexpress you can get free shipping and xm5 are sold with the case together as a combo, also you can send private message to the saler to make sure he declares the proper customs price. The sale begins in 12 hours. You should check it out there is a lot of deals on...

wow thats really good to know thanks for the feedback on the bass. I used to have n6ii I really loved that especially the T01 module was my favorite, I am surprised you had same perception as me. After a while of listening it does get some weird fatigue with the sound, its pretty bright too in...

You can purchase music from hdtracks https://www.hdtracks.com/ or bandcamp https://bandcamp.com/ also native dsd https://www.nativedsd.com/ You then have to save your copies on a dsd or hdd for backup and transfer your music on a sdcard. As simple as that. I love bandcamp because you can...

Nice shure 846 was my first ever audiophile earphones good old memories with them 😛 They have a nice dedicated subwoofer. Currently owning the ie 600 those have amazing bass and very impactful. Shanling h5 is very impressive with ie600. Was hoping xm5 would give me more impact then my m5u…...

How is that bass impact? Is it very physical like you can feel the waves of bass go threw your chest? What other shanling dap do you have on hands to compare it against?

Forgot to mention the screen has a pre-applied film from factory , same goes with back cover. I didn’t remove it to confirm but I doubt screen is plastic 😂😂😂 I never purchased the case but that sounds unfortunate if its that clumsy. The device hardware though is rock solid

Hahaha well m5u is not officially a 1zm2 killer lol but I already sold zm2 to a good friend. Didn’t sale it cause m5u won but actually because the cost and my usage wasn’t there for zm2. I will say m5u is very impressive for its price range and can offer you that quality you would find in a 1.5k...

@German Expat in Vietnam For me owning both H5 and m5u after 1 and half moth and with 400h on it I feel like I am missing the impressive bass ommph and impact of H5. Yes m5u is a more balanced tuning but its not driving my craving in bass segment as H5 did it. To my experience H5 is very...

How about xm5 vs h5? Even more dynamic and V shaped? I don’t see xm5 available yet on shanling store, where can we buy it?

Selling my amazing wm1z m2 its in brand new state practically, I used it for around a year and as always Sony is really king and a champ on top of the hill of all daps. I only selling it because I am not into portable gear anymore and I have a very high end home audio equipment which is plenty...

I have iPhone 13 pro max Official camera dongle with lightning charger and usb a. And a white high quality usb a cable from sony ps5 joystick Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter https://store.apple.com/ca/xc/product/MK0W2AM/A When I had H5 unit it worked absolutely fine in usb dac mode with...

No problems with iems at all, I use mine at medium gain all the time and I have 18 ohm, you get iems with super low ohm in that case I am more then sure low gain will do it right. It is true m5u packs a load of power even stronger than H5 when I had it. M5u is very versatile it will accommodate...

It be hard for me to say exactly the difference but by memory when I had zx507 and wm1z the 507 sounded similarly warm and less soundstage, overall had lots of similarities. In my opinion if you compare it to m5u you be around similar warm sound but with m5u more detailed sound precision, oh...

Ummm am I correct or your m5u came with the leather case? Sad if so cause I didn’t have one in my package 😔😢

Hehe those good old days I remember modding my wm1z into something that was unimaginable with the rare capacitors I forgot the name of those. You are absolutely right those sel a silmics are veryyyy goodI do love them a lot. How come you left behind the 320 thats a very decent dap as well I had...

I started my experience with shanling m8 back then a few years ago and I remember they had quite some issues with there software and small limited storage as well. My Spotify was bugging and the app never remembered my offline tracks… but the sound was really good I like the m8 a lot. Later to...

If that can help you can refer to this link here and see what akm filter does, each has a special purpose and with m5u its so easily discernable which is not a common thing. Usually its very subtle as a difference...

We found out that sharp roll off has the most dynamic and bassy sound and also im medium gain you get an edge up in that same direction for more fun and punchier sound. After my burn in I find the sound is more open and fluid, not restrained or contested like you calling it. I also found the...

Hi I tried ordering it via that store but they had none available when I was purchasing mine so I went a head and bought directly from shanling website store and requested to value the package at 100$ it was shipped via dhl and arrived in 3days I think. I paid in usd and had 38$ in customs so it...

Definitely as the output impedance is high, this fluctuates to a more prominent impression of the change in sound. More impedance makes it more bassier meatier and louder. This is why m5u is so powerful and plus on top it has more amp power compare to my H5 which is also same ohm output. I...

Woaa mine doesn’t do that when I open favourites. My m5u don’t want to go into usb dac mode when connected to my iPhone 😑

I experience similar changes when tested on my sony daps and previously owned daps as well. What I found is with m5u I use medium gain as with other daps is always high gain, so since m5u is the most powerful dap I owned it sound too loud in high gain. Medium gain is similar to my wm1zm2 which...
