  Back panel on my unit does same thing. It doesn't really move, but device simply doesn't feel as one rigid piece. Mine makes ugly cheap metal sounds whenever I put it on table or when I try to knock on body.

 
You're hearing the metal buttons on the device.  Using the silicone case alleviates this.

Anything else with balanced out around the same price?

Fry's has the Pono player for sale every so often in the $250 range. Pono has balanced out (via 2 3.5mm jacks like a Sony PHA, which is sort of a pain because most cables are 2.5mm), but it sounds amazing in comparison especially in balanced mode. My honest opinion. M1 can do some ISO natively and that is about the only feature that trumps the Pono and also build quality as t the Pono is basically plastic. If Pono were to release a more "substantial" player, I think it would be a hit as it should have been. That Ayre sound is truly great.

Pono player ?
 

No, Thanks ...

You don't know what you're missing... Plus, that's a real yummy candy. But, in all honesty, what I claim is truth....well, at least an honest opinion.

Pono player ?



No, Thanks ...

Congrats bruh. You scored!!!

 

[Jerome Dussart]

idem for my unit
the back panel had little movement ( and impossible to screw mini tork more)
 
the button are not premium quality for the control panel ( sometime they arn t no efficient and must be used very precisely to  a normal function
 
VERY BAD POINTS FOR THE FINITION

Has anyone or can anyone compare the sound of the m1s to XDuoo X10? Would be appreciated!

More or less : it's not as good as he hopes, even really worse than he thinks.

Thanks for that. I didn't know the m1s doesn't sort by filename automatically. I assume that's what it says? If that's the case...wow that's primitive.There's always "DriveSort" for that but it should not be necessary at this level.

Hi! Do any of you have heating issues with the m1s. Mine seems to heat a little when playing then more noticeable when put in the pocket when im use.
