    I’m going to try and make CanJam London next year if the date is good for me. Seems to be lots of new gear to see/hear :xf_cool:

    Does anyone have more details on the upcoming Cantor flagship model? What kind of tuning can we expect? Any price details yet? Thanks :L3000:

    Aful Performer Impressions Thread

    Hi, the packaging is English on the front slip cover. The card in the box states “July 23” so I think very recent pair from factory. Just listening to Led Zep I 96kHz 24Bit version. Wow, I know this album very well and it gets plenty of time on my hifi which is very resolving. On the P8 and...

    SRV & Double Trouble Texas Flood sounds mighty fine on the P8 tonight. :guitar:

    Thanks for the info. Regards driving the P8, I agree with your experience. I’m using volume level 14-20 so far with my M6U. Plenty loud enough. Lots of nice details and body coming through. I think M6U max goes to 100!? I’m looking forward to spending some time with the P8. :)

    It’s very helpful. Thanks. I’ve actually swapped what was fitted for a larger set that was included. I think it’s better already. Definitely more of a seal. More testing from my side but think I’m getting there :) Going to listen to Led Zep I later :xf_cool:

    When people mention “good seal”, and “sound isolation”, how good should this be? I can hear the tv vocals whilst I’m lying down not to far from the tv. When playing music I can’t tell what they are saying but can hear the tv. Is this correct? The face plates are about flush with my ear, if I...

    Hi, many thanks for your feedback. I have to say I listened to the whole Diana Krall album I mentioned earlier and it was a very pleasant experience. Very clear and accurate rendition of this album and the musicians as a whole. I’m impressed with the timbre, vocals and note decay so far.

    New Performer 8 owner here. 4.4 mm balanced cable. They landed today. Firstly, these are the first pair of iem’s that I have ever owned or used. On opening the box, my first impression was how small the ear pieces looked. However, they look like sparkling jewels. I have to say that they are...

    Shanling M9 Plus - Flagship Android player

    Would you say regarding desktops, is it predominantly because we can have bigger boxes, more extravagant solutions/implementations and to a certain extent there is no limit to what the designer/engineers can achieve?

    Shanling M9 Plus - Flagship Android player

    How close are TOTL DAPs to desktop systems These days? I’m interested in people’s thoughts/experiences here. For example, if we take an M9 Plus, pair it with an appropriate headphone or IEM, how close to good/excellent desk top systems can it be? I’m predominantly interested around sound...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    Hi, yes I did this for a few stations and it works perfectly. Sound quality is really fantastic. I was hoping I could use a text file to import a more substantial list but no matter, I probably only listen to a few Radio Paradise streams together with a few classical. So it’s good enough for...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    can someone help with .m3u playlists and radio Flac stream on UAPP? I created the file "radio.m3u", I have a few streams listed inside, copied the file to the \UAPP\Playlists folder, restarted UAPP, goto "Playlists", selected the file and accepted "Yes" to convert to UAPP version. When I...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    New User here! Installed UAPP onto my new Shanling M6 Ultra last night and started playing around with it. I have to say imo its a great app. I love the interface, most settings ootb for me are correct (I predominantly have local library holding all my CD rips and HD downloads), love the way...

    Introducing Shanling M6 Ultra - AKM Quad-DACs based Portable Android Player

    TBH I have not tried via Android mode. I like the fact that M6U is running in optimal for music playback with no Android services, etc. in the background. That's just me!

    Introducing Shanling M6 Ultra - AKM Quad-DACs based Portable Android Player

    Update for my new M6U: It probably has 15-20 hours playback now and I have been impressed by the DAP. It runs very fast (GUI), scanning of library (Shanling Music App) is very fast, I have approx 7,000 tracks loaded so far and it literally takes approx. 15 seconds for "Library Update". Oh, for...

    Introducing Shanling M6 Ultra - AKM Quad-DACs based Portable Android Player

    Well, just a brief update on a brand new M6U opened today that’s been playing music for about one hour. :L3000: I’ve never heard my Focal Celestee driven like that from any portable device!:clap: (I’m a little behind the times with DAPs) I had to switch to "low gain" and generally have volume...

    Introducing Shanling M6 Ultra - AKM Quad-DACs based Portable Android Player

    Ignore my last response. It was my good old Mac opening the zip on download. I disabled this and downloaded from Shanling again. All seems to be working now with status bar whilst updating :wink: Definitely much quicker procedure than download option on M6U. Hopefully will soon be listening!

    Introducing Shanling M6 Ultra - AKM Quad-DACs based Portable Android Player

    Ha ha, yes that correct regarding "nerve-racking!" I have done restart, like you said nothing was happening as far as I know. I have renamed the file to "M6 Ultra Firmware V1.3.zip" and started again. Same message as before so I'm not sure if anything is actually happening??? Not very good re...

    Introducing Shanling M6 Ultra - AKM Quad-DACs based Portable Android Player

    Many thanks for the prompt response. I don't use Roon. Okay, its been running for over an hour now, just says on screen "Updating now, please do not turn off....." Should I perform a restart?

    Introducing Shanling M6 Ultra - AKM Quad-DACs based Portable Android Player

    Hi, I have just purchased the M6U and cannot wait to start listening. I have downloaded the latest firmware and copied to local system on M6U, and then started the local update. Question to you seasoned veterans, how long does it take for the update to complete? All the best.

    Liquid Gold - 2014

    Fantastic. Enjoy it. Was listening to my rig last night and just started laughing to myself. Music was Diana Krall HD download and Kinda Blue Miles Davis in CD . All my music is ripped to WAV. THE REPLAY WAS JUST RIDICULOUS. At one point I thought a drummer was next to me whacking the symbols...
