I'm on 1.67. When I try to do OTA update, it says "No new firmware has been found."

Is the LDAC support only possible through Shanling's own audio player app or is it possible to somehow enable LDAC for all audio apps? When I connect my Soundcore Space A40 earbuds to the M3X, the display only shows SBC next to the bluetooth icon.

FYI, Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro is currently on Lightning Deal on Amazon for $99.99. Thinking of giving them a try to see how they compare to my old 2 Pro.

Yes. Also recently upgraded my sub...

FYI, firmware v1.62 is out: https://en.shanling.com/download/77

I thought 1.61 was the latest? Is this a new firmware that will be released soon?

Has this ever been fixed?

Shanling has been talking about the addition of gapless support in their native audio player app being a top priority, but it looks like they're still not there yet. Gapless works fine in Poweramp on M3X.

So which version of Google Play Store should one download from apkpure? The mid January version mentioned earlier is no longer available on apkpure.

Anyone here own both M3s and M3x? My M3s broke recently, and I'm thinking of replacing it with M3x. The Android-based DAP has appeal to me. How different do these two DAPs sound? I did like the sound of my old M3s. Does the M3x sound much different? Thanks!

I'm trying to turn my Philips X2HR headphones into a wireless headset for PC calls. I am currently using them wired with an attached boom mic. I realize I will lose audio quality by going BT route, but I'm willing to sacrifice some quality in order to detach myself from the wire. There are...

I think this thread needs a bump.

You may be alluding to two conflicting sets of requirements here, I'm afraid. Higher sound quality requires more bandwidth, which means it'll be more susceptible to interference/dropouts at the same distance as a lower bandwidth/lower sound quality connection. This page has some info on...

From a sound quality perspective, there should be no difference, assuming both devices (DAP and phone) support the same BT standards. Main difference is from a convenience perspective and having a dedicated tool for the job.

Thanks. Yeah, that's even more expensive than the Nobsound, plus having to deal with XLR connections would just further complicate things for me.

I use the Liberty 2 Pro with Shanling M3s almost exclusively. I have no complaints with M3s. If I have any complaints, it would be with L2P - they still sound too bright/shouty to me, even after turning the highs all the way down in custom EQ.

Well, that's a welcome addition. I've been waiting on Anker to do this. Thanks!

Thanks, but I am not interested in software volume control. I want a physical volume knob.

Can you guys recommend some basic volume controllers for PC? I mean something like this Nobsound: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GRLV7XG Is this one any good? Are there less expensive alternatives? Is this what people use to control volume when using a DAC and powered speakers that...

Are you able to try a different phone just to see if it's your phone that's causing these issues?

Does this happen at certain distance from the device/transmitter, or even when your headphones are right next to it? I've tried 4 different BT headphones and IEMs in recent months and haven't noticed frequent drops with any of them at close range. Obviously, BT is not meant to work over...

Another vote for X2HR - they're very comfy once you stretch the headband out to reduce clamping force.

Quick update: I bought the H12, and while sound quality is quite good when connected via cable, it is rather disappointing when connected via BT, which would be their primary use. Granted, my kid wouldn't really care at this age, but I plan to use these when he doesn't, so I wanted to get...
