I also bought a leather case along with my m2.
The size is acceptable, UI nothing unusual to me.
Absolutely loving the sound, I tried it on IEM se-846,I could not hear the hiss sound. But after trying with headphone

ATH- es-w11, i was like wowwwwww! It took the headphone to another level.

Just become a little warm when i use Tidal.

Great news Andy, love to see a Wowwwwwww! (-:
To be clear the hiss/noise is only audible on a vanishingly tiny number of BA IEMS that are ultra-sensitive, most are no problem at all.
The M2 is designed to get warm as it dissipates heat from the Class A amplifier, nothing to worry about
Thanks for the feedback, please write a review if you have time, and any questions you may have post here
Cheers Robert

Any brick & mortar sources in the USA for the AR-M2?  Or is it only available direct from AR's USA office?

My vote is this or qp1r

My vote is this or qp1r

Agreed, fair point - so long as streaming services aren't required - having had both the M2 and the QP1R (but ironically having neither now), the 1R is cleaner, the M2 is richer... (haven't had the pleasure of listening to the Onkyo, so cannot comment)

Hi Guys, is there a limit on the memory size or only the present size of SDXC cards available?
 
I have a 1TB Ipod and can't live with less than 500G

Just the cards. 200GB max on general sale. Samsung have just launched a 256GB card. So maybe next year for 400 - 500 GB?
 
Verified and recommended Micro SD Cards:
- Lexar 633x (Up to 200GB)
- Patriot LX Series (Up to 200GB)
- Samsung Evo, Evo+, Pro, Pro+ (Up to 128GB)
- Toshiba Exceria UHS-I (Up to 128GB)

Thanks.
 
If these DAPS are high fidelity then memory is one of the most import aspects, as the files are much larger, but then you know that.

Hello, 
 
Here is what I can see on my bricked AR-M2: 
 
The unit power on, show the first AR-M2 message, and the the video with the 24bit moving around, and that video keep going over and over again and it never enter the operating system. 
 
Anyway I can do something? a hard rest? I can put a new firmware inside?

Hey Bud,
 
Sorry I was trying to get a response from technical support but no luck. Have you fixed the issue yet? Sounds like you need a fresh install could be something picked up through the browser or a very rare one off glitch, 
 
Link the unit to your computer and wipe the old firmware off, reinstall and try again. Also weird trick that has been working is running the battery completely dead then after a full re charge things have been good to go. 
 
Let me know how you get on!
