There must have been an issue with the demo Wi-Fi OR the unit you demoed because I owned both on the latest (as in now) released firmware and the M8 was and still is fast.
Just did a short video demoing the speed of the M8
You guys should focus on Ibasso Dx300. I have the Shanling M8 myself and it is not perfect, I don't believe any dap is. Different people prioritize different things and I believe nowadays most totl daps sound good, it is the flavor of sound that you are after that is going to make you choose one or another. I personally didn't have the chance yet to try the Dx300 and I am still curious about it because of the Cirrus dacs.
It is all relative. My shanling m6 pro is better compared to dx200. But for use with tidal or similar applications it is just question about sound signature. Another point of view is if you want a dap for youtube, netflix, etc. And tomorrow for games

No, I have never had the pleasure to try anything that has the Cirrus DACs that is why I am curious, but I believe it is an interesting proposition since they have the same dac and I can always add the BX-2 and Woo audio wa8 amps to enhance the sound

It is a little more than that as the architecture of utilizing 4 DAC with each dedicated per active signal lines. Especially the inverted phases (+/-) which can theoretically enhance and 2X multiply whatever is already there.
Just try the dx160 to see if you like what it has to offer, then you will like the steroids version dx300.

So I have dx228 exFAN and Amp9. I was one of the lucky ones to get hold of the AMP8 exFAN more then contempt with my purchase. Love the sound sig and for Dance/Pop which seems to be my goto genre in lockdown Amp8 exFan was super match and excellent sounding. I barley touched the AMP9 feel this is better for RnB which I haven't listen to for a while.
More then happy this was supposed to be my end game setup I moved away from these forums to follow my other obsession which is expresso yes there's whole detected forums to coffee geeks similar to audiophile obsessions
I decided to do a quick visit and discovered there's a dx300 I try to resist temptation. But my curiosity started wondering hey dx228 exFan sound in super quick interface, my only grip with dx220 is the interface and the speed it's adequate but I'm a impatient guy. After 5 pages in this thread I was hooked I ordered......
Skimping through the whole of this thread I expected a lot of dx300 vs dx228ex to my disappointment even after 313 pages not much on comparison lol. Guess people are waiting burn-in. My takeaway is that it's very much like dx228ex/Max but different signature in a good way just hope I'm not disappointed as I love the grandness and umpth of amp8 ex
Expected delivery from advancedMP 2-3 days, but next day and it's here even on a Sat now that's excellent service.
Can't wait to unpack and try it ......

This is right. After years of trying AK, Cayin, Sony, and Hiby, I have stopped at Ibasso, from owning DX120 to 160, and now 300 for the tuning that matches my preferences. For the D 300, the speed, the screen, improved connections only further consolidate Ibasso's place in my audio journey. As always, conversations revolving around the best DAP are kinda irrelevant at this price bracket. Only down to preferences.
