Introducing Shanling M30 - Modular Desktop Hi-Fi Streaming Player

[purk]

The new OS module will have a tilt screen like the Shanling EM7 and a faster snapdragon 665.

wow! New and upgrade DAC chips too please!

 

[Shanling]

Can you elaborate more on the new OS module? Will it has an updated DAC chip? I really like my M30 with the discrete amp.

It's upgraded the system module. DAC module is different.

Is this new OS give better or different sound quality compare to the old one ?
Or is it only give better & faster UI ?

Thanks

We have been playing with it a bit, honestly not sure if I hear difference or not.

Definitely would recommend it for the tiltable screen and faster system, wouldn't buy it with hopes that it would be sound improvement.

@Shanling can you guys make a special order one for me? I would pay handsomely for one. Especially if it’s the same quality of your cases for the daps. Please think it over and let me know.

For this I would strongly recommend getting in touch with some local leather gear shop. Find some that can do custom bags and they can do a lovely job with exactly your demands. I have one friend in Shenzhen who does custom leather backpacks and camera cases, this is something I would do if i wanted custom carrying case for M30.

Hey guys,

I have an idea. I prefer the sound of the M8 player over the M9 and even the M9 plus. Have you considered doing an M8 plus that has that very musical and a little darker sound profile. That way you have the 9+ for the reference sound and the M8+ for those of us who love the original darker Shanling house sound. What do you think? You can have another product in the flagship space but with a hint of Nostalgia. Anyway I love your products, and hoped to get a newer version with newer OS and UI but that same M8 sound. It’s still my favorite dap of all the flagships I own. Cheers from Italy

DAC that was used in M8 is not available anymore and it was big part of its sound.

Glad to see Shanling is producing more modules for the M30, I thought they abandoned this project. I’ll be following along.

Is the old OS still supported ? Firmware udpate ?
The last firmware has new bug (gain setting) and still no fix in more than 6 months

Yes, it's still among our supported models, software team is just slow in pushing out these updates.

Can you get me the info of the Leather company you use? I have no connections otherwise.

As for the sound quality difference with the new OS it should probably not change the sound correct? I like the older Shanling sound and if the new OS makes the sound more modern and brighter in any way I will have to avoid it.

Thank you for all of your help.

As you live in Italy, you should have easy access to a great leather and I'm sure there will be small local shops offering custom works.

Taking pre-orders? Pricing info?

There’s plenty of people who do leather, but I like the same as you have for your players. The rounded ends are reinforced and I can’t take a chance with anyone I don’t know personally. I trust you guys. Can I just pay you and have you send it. It would be a big help. I have many of your products and the cases are always top notch. I would gladly pay for the prototype and perhaps then you could even sell the unit to other M30 users. You can email me at Puroplatino@aol.com and we can discuss so as not to be in the public forum. Thanks for any help you can give.

Random? I posted about this issue. I included my email here on Headfi as
Well, but you didn’t get back to me. I was just trying to get your attention. Also I always speak positively about your products. I was not trying to be rude, and I hope it didn’t come across as rude. That wasn’t my intention. Thank you for looking into the Case for me. It would be a big help to le and I’m sure many other owners would get one as well. I have influenced many of my friends to purchase your products and everyone is very very happy with them. Thank you again for your attention on this.

Best Regards,
Enrico

Your request is highly unique, so it might take some time before we get any feedback on this from our production managers.
