I just received my iSine 10 (b stock) from the Adorama Black Friday $119 deal. No cipher cable but I didn’t expect it at that price. I don’t need it anyway since I’m using it with Roon off my iPad which has a DSP preset for them built in. It was well packaged as new with new tips and ear clips...

Thanks.

@Shanling, I would also like to be able to see the bitrate of the playing file displayed.   For example, I have a mix of Apple Lossless and 256kbps .m4a files. It would be nice to be able to see the current bitrate playing.   Thank you again for the comprehensive update!!

Thanks,   Why would I want to choose one over the other?   Which one was the previous default?

Indeed! Thank you Shanling!   I really like #7: Auto switch back to playing interface, which time can be set in settings, because there is now an "Off" setting!   Before, it was quite annoying when adjusting EQ settings to have it constantly switch back to the now playing screen.   I also...

Actually, much more was changed/added. Here's the complete update diary from the read me .doc file in the download:   Update diary: 1.Added replay gain function, avoid manual volume adjustment while playing soundtracks with different producing standards. 2.Added flip over function, press or...

Thanks!   Update diary:   1.Added replay gain function, avoid manual volume adjustment while playing soundtracks with different producing standards.   2.Added flip over function, press or hold the forward/backward button to flip over to the next/previous page in any interface, increasing...

OK thanks. Understood.   I'm fine with converting the 96kHz files down to 48kHz.

OK, I just converted a 96/24 Flac file to 48/24 Flac and the EQ works fine. (using the very handy and fast Total Audio MP3 Converter)   So it seems the EQ does not support sample rates over 48kHz.   For now I will go ahead and convert all my 96/24 files to 48/24 for the M5. I'm not a big...

Thank you nmatheis! I have confirmed that I can indeed customize the presets.   But it would be nice to be able to change the names. I never had a FiiO DAP so am not familiar with that tool.   Also, I just found a bug. The EQ does not work on hi-res files! I have some 96/24 Flac files and...

You're welcome PopZeus.   Yes, the PM-3 takes EQ extremely well. The M5's EQ is very transparent sounding to my ear.   It would be nice though to be able to delete the factory EQ presets and be able to save more than one custom preset.

Try the PM-3 with the M5's EQ set to +4 for the 31 & 62Hz bands and +2 for the 16kHz band. You may change your mind.

Excellent review!

45-55 on Lo for me. This is with "normal" rock music. Not quiet DSD or anything.

I'm using low gain for my PM-3's. IMHO no need to go to hi gain for the PM-3. The M5 seems to have plenty of oomph for them on Lo.

The card has to be formatted Fat32. I'm not sure how to do that on a Mac.

It seems so.   It would be nice if they can address that in a firmware update. I hope it is not a hardware limitation.

Yes, this is after updating "My Music".

I'm in the US so got my M5 from the US eglobalcentral.com and all was well. It arrived very quickly. The issue with this vendor is that if there is a problem requiring a return, they require the unit to be returned directly to them in Hong Kong. I did not have to do this as my M5 is fine so far.

I have a Sandisk 200GB card in my M5 and have reached a point where I have about 150GB used. While Everything shows up fine in File Browser mode, the most recently added songs/albums are not showing up in the "My Music" database mode. I understand that Shanling say the M5 supports only up to...

Thank you. The original owner must have kept it in a clean room or something. It was spotless before I even started work on it. I was lucky to find it.   Sounds like that B&O is really nice. I remember seeing those at a local hi-fi shop where my cousin worked at the time.

Cool! I'd love to see that Onkyo too!   You can see pics of my 2275 in the audiokarma.org thread here:   http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/2275-has-arrived-recap-underway.635452/

Correct. Resistors off the power amps. Thanks, My Dad had bought me the first one I had as a teenager back then. It was my first good piece of audio gear. I ended up taking it apart to do some mods or something when I was learning electronics but never got it back together and it disappeared...

Hi, I have had my PM-3 for about a month now. I bought them after reading this thread and Bob Katz' blog on Innerfidelity. I'm an audio professional as well as a music lover and these are the end of a years-long search for a new personal reference sealed headphone! Previous recent "trys" were...

Thank you and understood.   I'd like it to show the bitrate of the playing file as well so I can tell when it is playing an AAC 256 or an ALAC. As it is now, they look the same.
