The issues of the M30 skipping the first couple seconds of the next track is there, and people has been waiting for a while to see it being addressed.
I seem to notice the same issue with Apple Music as well.

Thank you! I bought my M30 from MusicTeck last year and have been checking their Shanling page every week (for the new AMP Module) but I never thought to directly contact Mr. Andrew and try to pre-order one. :)

I just got my A2 !! The M30 is a very capable system
This amp module once again showcase how dedicated Shanling is into designing and tuning their systems
It is a lot heavier than the A1 module, and it also needs a lot more burn in. I am burning in atm. Surprisingly a lot opened up just after 15 hours

Was just listening to QQ Music streaming on the M30 into the HD800S. On turbo gain at volume 28. Tube output. Utter bliss! :)

Anyone tried Susvara /TC yet?
Whereas I might honestly need to sell M30 due to the current war crisis and foreseeable inflation and energy price / tax increases

The only gripe I still have with M30 is the 2 seconds skips lol!! But the rest of it is amazing. I found out that I don’t have the 2 seconds skip anymore if I use only DSD files
I agree. I use laptop or M17 to stream to it to bypass its Android interface. The rest of it is perfect now especially with the new module.

Hopefully, the new player module will nick this issue. :)

I had run the Susvara and the Abyss after getting the power amp module. If you look back at my posts after the power amp module arrived just before the Lunar New Year. Drives the Susvara and Abyss very nicely to my ears. :)

It occurred to me this evening that I have never tried using the BT function on the M30. So here goes. :)

On M30 as BT DAC => SBC only ? no LDAC ?

In the shade of OverSampling and so on, I just found out something pretty interesting about AKM chips as they disclosing the OverSampling rate. The Cirrus and ESS has it non disclosed. What is interesting is that

Datasheet AK4497EQ
Datasheet AK4499EQ

The AK4497EQ is running at 256Xoversampling in the while the AK4499EQ is running at 128X. This means that the AK4497EQ outcome from the conversion would be DSD512, where as AK4499EQ outcome would be DSD256 Max.

So, theoretically, AK4497EQ must have better sound quality. Yet, the AK4499EQ is superior on paper, and as AKM stated, according to the newly design of switched resistors style, is able to achieve higher dynamic range and lower noises. This must be the reason why I was never much into the AK4499EQ, and especially when it was compared to AK4497EQ. I can attest that AK4497EQ on DMP-Z1 was quiet phenomenal for the device of it sizes.

I am curious to see what the new ROHM is Going to be.

But at the moment, using AUI and convert my pcm into DSD256 is amazing on Dx312 and my Shanling M30

DSD512 is also amazing on the M30 as well.

Some nice evening listening off the HD800S on the M30 on SS output. Roon via Melco N10P into the M30 as USB DAC. :)
