Sublime pairing! Loving my M7!

Somehow the pitch-black IEMs seem familiar to me. Which cable are you using now? I have a cable tip for you Satin-Audio Athena. The best cable I have found for CA Dorado 2020 and Oriolus Isabellea. But it costs 500 USD

It is indeed a nice cable... Coming from stock cables, I am so tempted by all the cable choices.

A rare picture of 2 M7 next to each other!
Man I wish my phone had 7000mah battery. I used the dap to browse reddit today (black theme but that shouldn't save any power since the panel is LCD), and in 45 minutes, battery dropped 2%...

The player also heats up quite nicely. Yes, I use that word deliberately. It seems past 30 minutes mark, the heat doesn't extend much more and stays at about the same temperature. The heat also makes me feel like the DAP is working hard and makes it all that much better haha! Sorry if I am not making sense.

This thread is same dead!! is the M 7 not so fantastic??? Looks same that

 

[Pearl Lizard]

Эта ветка такая же мертвая!! разве М 7 не такой уж фантастический??? Выглядит так же, как

Maybe so. I can’t say exactly how good it is, because mine is still on the way

Im very happy with DX 320. Maybe was the better choice

Shanling daps threads are not usually overcrowded (see the m8 one). Maybe people are just enjoying their m7s. I’m enjoying mine.

iBasso and Sony threads are much more active due to plenty of fan boys or reviewers that get daps/stuff for free to review. Not criticizing any brand or headfiers but just stating a fact

 

[merinowool]

Sounds like some awesome person(s) should compare the M7 with the DX320

Or more general impressions/comparisons. We've already had some excellent impressions in this thread, but as someone who likes to read as much as possible about a product before purchasing, I'd be happy to hear more takes on the M7.

Frankly, I am just enjoying mine more and more with each passing day. Will put some impressions before going for a full review...but for now, I can say I am getting my money's worth.

+1. I'm still putting in the hours on my M7 but everytime I steal a listen, I find myself falling in love with it more and more. Apart from the sound, I love the form factor and how it feels in my hands.

There is a soul to the M7 which is hard to describe. The pairing with my Dorado is just perfect. It is such an amazing musical beast!

Hello!!

Has any of you been able to compare the sound of Hiby R6 2020 with Shanling M7?? I have finally made the decision to acquire the M7, I have wanted to try a Shanling product for a long time, and this is the jump I was waiting for to the top of the DAP range without going over 5''.

I hope it suits my tastes Regards!!

Brickwall...somehow it felt to have a microscopic amount more bass slam than the others. Might be totally placebo though, not sure.

I noticed that too. Brickwall having bit more bass and bigger soundstage. More layers.
Minimum phase slow roll off the most analogue smooth, minimum fast roll off more treble and upfront vocals and linear fast roll off to be something in between. Actually I find the difference in filters for the m7 much more recognizable than others daps I had before.

I advice new owners to play with filters from the most sharp stock minimum phase roll off (for treble heads) to the most analogue minimum phase slow roll off or brickwall (for bass).
