I find both awsome and both superior to 2000t , but by any means i find the 2000t bad

For the guys that have lots of experience with the different DAP offerings how would you place the M15s in the rankings. So far I am liking the m15s but have not been around the other options the other suppliers offer like you guys

Anyone got a rundown of which settings to change/what apps to download? Streaming apple music. Excited to try this player out.

Hello,
Received my M15s and am positively impressed. Commissioning, software update, loading the Qobuz app and loading a 1TB Sandisk micro SD went quickly and without any problems. First impressions with Fiio FD7, Sennheiser Ie900 and Meze Empyrean were very good and at the moment it sounds better than my M17. Maybe it's the new toy syndrome. I have to compare first.
The heat development is relatively low so far, lower than in the M17. Desktop mode works with all my charging adapters and also with various power banks (Xtorm, Sandberg Survivor, Omni 20+).

What about extra heating? Does your m15s become hot while using? This problem really bothers me.
P.s. Still waiting for my one to come.

@Retrorai so far as to apps...Anyone got a rundown of which settings to change/what apps to download? Streaming apple music. Excited to try this player out.
Apple Music
Tidal
Youtube music
Radio Paradise
USB Audio Player Pro
HF Player
... new to me are two apps that I am finding I like more and more as I use them.... the first is Wavelet for its auto EQ function where it automatically applies the perfect EQ to the harmon curve.. amazing what that app has done to playback on some of my headphones...
the other App is Poweramp that allows you to fine tune the sound sig of the M15s to perfection....
the M15s is a very very nice DAP

The heat generation has not been high so far. An hour in leather case, desktop mode, medium gain with Meze Empyrean and Focal Elegia and M15s was only slightly warm.Thank you for your view!

I'm bad at describing something like that. Maybe the sound signature of the M15s suits me better, at least with IEM. It is a bit softer and not as aggressive and sharp as the M17 with IEM..In which areas does it sound better than the M17?
Was a decision between the R6 Pro II and M15S. Auditioned both today using the Gaea. Default settings on both DAPs.
R6 Pro II
Tracks sounded very 'technical', sharp, analytical - lifeless.
Hiby player froze/crashed several times during my short audition time.
M15S
More enjoyable to listen to.
That volume pot has a very satisfying resistance
Its weight adds confidence to its build quality
So I joined the club!![Grinning face with sweat :sweat_smile: 😅](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f605.png)

@FiiO
I just noticed something:
- Unit updated to latest firmware
- On battery power
- Using Fiio Music app
- Playing files from miscroSD
- Screen is OFF
- Sleep - all OFF
I pause the music (via button) for let's say 1 min. (or sometimes I wait for only 30 seconds) - when I press on the Play button again - nothing happens, music doesn't resume playing. I press it again the 2nd time - I head a faint pop, still no music playing. But when I pressed for the 3rd time, that's the only time the music continues to play.
Tried it with Tidal and Spotify - same parameters (Screen still off, using side buttons) - I again need to click on the Play button 3 times for music to resume playing.
What is going on?

I just tried the same thing. For me, the hardware play/stop buttons work whether I wait 30 seconds or 2 minutes. I also play music from Micro SD via Fiio app.

You mean you just press it 1 time and it immediately resumes playing?

You're right. I had it in desktop mode and it worked multiple times. In battery mode with the screen off, I have to press the play button several times, like you. With screen on it seems to work. I hope a software update can fix it. I remember on another DAP (RS8?) people had the same problem.You mean you just press it 1 time and it immediately resumes playing?
Maybe Fiio can help.
