I have only Q1 but really a very good pocket dap. The experience with shanling that I read is very good. From M0 to M9. Im think that is a good buy. Im waiting yet the preorder countdown

 

[Tomm11]

Kind of interested in the M7. Never owned a Shanling DAP.
How does Shanling voice their players, in general?

@Shanling I have a question. I want to buy a new player. I'm looking for a warmer tuning with organic mids and a soft treble. Everything is still dynamic. A bit in the analog direction. Which player would you recommend me? The M7 or M9?? I can still get the M9 here in Vietnam with the AK chips. But because of the mobility, I tend to the M7. what is your opinion?? I have to buy here or not. Testing beforehand is impossible. Which of the two has the higher resolution?
I would be very grateful for a tip from you.

If you can wait for reviews, do it.

Shanling you can send preorders now

Yes i know. But normally Shanling answer the truth. I thinking about M7, 9 or the new iBasso DX320

Very bulkier daps. We need a M3X with M9 performance)))

Just a few differences:
M9

• DAC – 2x AKM AK4499EQ
• Memory – Ram 8GB, ROM 256GB
• Amplifier – AD4610 & BUF364A & OPA1612
• Output Power – Single-ended 460 mW@32Ohm // 920mW@32Ohm Balanced

I believe the M9 is still very much the flagship DAP in the Shanling lineup as well as being a limited model due to the limited availability of the AKM chips. It wouldn't make sense for them to release a cheaper model that competes with the flagship (at double the price), especially when the M9 seems to be well received.

I am curious how the M7 fares against the M8.

It smells neutral to me, in the same direction as the M9, which I don't like, wait and know...

I hope it leans in that direction but that's not my only criteria. I'm not in a hurry so I'll be waiting for reviews and impressions.

I find it interesting that the M7 and DX240 use the same ES9038pro DAC, share pretty similiar output power specs and run time specs yet the M7 is equipped with a battery near 60% more capacity than the Ibasso battery (7000mah versus 4400mah).

May be a sign of inefficient or efficient use of parts on either side.

Espero que se incline nessa direção, mas esse não é meu exclusivo. Não estou com pressa, por estarei à espera de comentários e isso.

Acho interessante que o M7 e o DX240 usem o mesmo DAC ES9038pro, compartilhem as especificações de potência de saída e especificações de tempo de execução bastante semelhantes, mas o M7 está equipado com uma bateria perto de 60% mais capacidade que a bateria Ibasso (7000mAh versus 4400mAh).

Estranho, a bateria é 60% maior, porém não se aplica proporcionalmente em uso mais prolongado, aliás o Shanling M7 consome muito mais, talvez seja devido a maior potência na saída desbalanceada.
