Hi all. I got to audition MEST as part of the ongoing tour. The overall experience was positive. I found MEST to have a well-balanced sound signature with pretty good low end extension with visceral impact, clean well-defined mids, and detailed treble. I felt like the bass impact was more...

Pola 39 are a significant improvement over the lower-end Pola. Sense of space is dramatically increased which is a needed at this price point. Bass has better speed and resolution but doesn't perform as well as I'd like with electronic music, lacking adequate sub-bass response for proper...

Waiting for gapless in the Shanling Music app...

I also need gapless for many albums and can only see using the Prime mode after gapless is implemented. It's a shame because I find the Shanling app sounds best out of the various music apps I use (Neutron, Poweramp, and UAPP), but I'm basically forced to use those so I'm not distracted by gaps...

I'm using Sharp Roll Off filter

Hi all. Just got the tour kit, thoroughly cleaned the IEMs and tips I'll be using and started listening to POLA out of Shanling M6 using UAPP. Put on Rush's Moving Pictures 2015 remaster with extended dynamic range which usually has very good soundstage and am feeling underwhelmed so far. POLA...

No problem streaming with Google Play Music, Qobuz, and Tidal through their respective apps or through UAPP on my M6 (international version). Lovely sound the the price! @Shanling Any update on when we can expect gapless or update to next Android version?

I imagine that was in response to the lack of gapless. If so, I totally agree. It should've been a feature at product release. Fingers crossed it happens soon! I've had some albums sort incorrectly when using the Shanling app, whereas the same albums sort correctly in UAPP. I just don't think...

Downloading now... Yay for standard Android navigation buttons!!! Wondering if/when we'll get gapless in the Shanling app :thinking:

With patient help from @Shanling, my M6 is back up and running. Many thanks!

Thanks @Shanling!

Thanks for the quick reply @Shanling. I tried that yesterday before posting, but it didn't do anything. As a follow-up, there was no change this morning. Red light is still on. M6 is still unresponsive. Force restart still doesn't do anything. Anything else you can think of that might help? We...

@Shanling After charging today, I unplugged my M6 to find that the red light above the power button was on but the M6 was unresponsive. Pushing the power button didn't turn the screen on. Holding the power button down for an extended period didn't turn the screen on. Holding power + upper left...

I haven't yet, but I'm considering doing a trade with an old headfi buddy who just purchased an R5 so we can each do an A/B comparison and see which we prefer. For myself, I'm already highly impressed with the smooth, warm-ish, enveloping sound of my M6. The descriptions I've heard of the R6...

Just checked, and mine is indeed showing this. I just wasn't playing music with the Shanling player last time so it didn't show up. Thanks!

I've got to say that M6 with the Shanling app has a great sound signature. Very smooth yet with good dynamics. Just missing gapless playback. Fingers crossed that's added soon!

I'm on International Firmware and had already manually set my time zone, so that's not the reason for the self correction. I'm any case, I'm glad it corrected! Will reset M6 and try again with Neutron. Imagine it'll be just fine after that.

Not sure what happened, but I started up the M6 this morning to take a picture and the time and date are now displayed as I would've expected on the lockscreen. Not sure how that was corrected with no intervention on my part, but I'll take it! Seems like I'm using 64-bit version of Neutron and...

A few issues I'm seeing on M6 with FW 2.74 are... 1. On the lockscreen I have time in 24-hour format even though I set time to be in 12-hour format 2. On the lockscreen the date is displayed as 1 day ahead and the year is in Chinese characters. For instance it's 1/9 (January 9) today, however...

Just got mine today but haven't had much time with it because it arrived late in the day, and I'm out supporting my son who's singing at a jazz bar tonight. What I did experience was pretty smooth from both UI and sound signature standpoints. I unboxed, updated, scanned my SD card, installed a...

Nostalgia night to kick off the new year!!! Autechre via Shanling M5 > Phobia Audio IC > iBasso PB3 > Meze 99 Classics w/7N OCC Meze cable terminated to XLR with 2.5mm adapter. Impressed with how spacious and controlled PB3 through 2.5mm sounds. Reigns in the bottom end on 99 Classics and...

Thanks for the comments. Even if from memory, they're still helpful. That matches up with what I've learned about the two. It seemed like R5 would be too thin/cold for my taste, so I went for the M6. I imagine it'll sound quite good with IT03 + Ares II Balanced. :vulcan:

Could you provide a brief sound signature/quality comparison for Hiby R5 vs Shanling M6 @Nayparm?

Happy New Year fellow Shanling fans!!! The good, I ordered an M6 plus silicone and leather cases. Woohoo! The bad, the multifunction wheel on my old M3s started malfunctioning, so I ordered a replacement which arrived yesterday. Unfortunately, the screen was really stuck and the cables...

Yup, I was going to get that while I'm waiting for a leather case :vulcan:
