Look at this adorable little chonker DAP!

This is the compact DAP I've been looking for. I'll order it on release day! But it would be even better if the SD card slot had a dust cover.

Dust covers are never ending issue. Some people like them, some people hate them.

I personally remove them from all my own units.

I understand that it has only one DAC.

finally, thank you Shanling! This will become my new transport device. As long as it will get the Tidal app, the M1s and m5u got, this is a winner in my book.

 

[sofastreamer]

no streaming like the m5 ultra?

what do you mean? its the exaxt same OS

The DAP gods have answered my prayers!

I have been waiting for this DAP ever since Shanling released the M5 Ultra and even moreso when that picture of the M1 Plus/M2 Ultra showed up on the M1S thread.

No more hemming and hawing over which DAP will be my next DAP, this is the ONE! Once bloomaudio raised the price on the DX180 I was peeved that I waited to long. So glad I did as I am so looking forward to getting my hands on this. I know it can't compare with a DX180 but for $209 US + a new 1 TB micorsd card for around $400 CDN for both it is a much better fit for my budget. Best of all no Android to deal with.

Do I dare ask the dreaded gapless supported question?

Do I dare ask the dreaded gapless supported question?

All our MTouch players support Gapless playback.

 

[somnarium]

Great to hear!
Thanks for confirming

 

[Zuiner2]

Shanling, can you say about EQ options for this DAP?

 

[Shanling]

Shanling, can you say about EQ options for this DAP?

Same basic EQ as on our other MTouch players. Limited to redbook playback.

 

[phila]

Will there be a Tidal possibility like on the M5 Ultra?

 

[maegnificant]

Nice looking design, hope edges aren't sharp. Wish there was lc3 included, literally nothing supports that codec.

Only lc3plus is made for music listening anyway. So far I only know about the dongle of the Harman AKG N5 and N9 that supports this codec.

MTouchOS usually has a primitive version of *** Tidal for WiFi stream with no downloads.

*** Dealbreaker for when offline.
