Introducing Shanling M8T - New Flagship Portable Android Player with Tubes

[timeslip]

Official website said that 18watt support, but manual recommend to use DC5V 2A adapter.
Can you charge with 10watt when battery reach like 25%?
See that if still freeze.

I am using Anker Prime Charger that auto adjusts the output based on need. Sometimes it seems like it doesn't even charge the M8T and it is extremely slow when it does. I do have have the player on though.

So have you ever experienced the aforementioned charging issue?

No, I don't have the issues mentioned above specifically (does not freeze). On my anker desktop charger, I can see when a device is connected and exactly how much power is being drawn. It shows 0 and of course the m8t is also not charging. I replugged it a few times and it finally started to draw power.

You are using a smart charger, so maybe the player and the charger needed to "addapt " to each other at first. Hopefully it will work from now on well for you.

Another thing regarding the charging issue. I know that the m8t received its first software update few days ago. Could it be that the issue has occurred after the update? Also are they any users who haven't had this issue yet? I could be wrong but I have the feeling that all people in this forum who have purchased and received the player have reported similar charging problem?

for my issue , i found issue before fw update and after update fw still found issue

Any more comparisms to SP3000T ? I love the 3000T sound (mostly I use full tube high current with Feiwan) but possibly looking for something lighter, and with better battery life.

Sorry, I edit it because it was duplicated above.

Charging is still really slow. Here is a screenshot as an example.

Can you install Ampere app and check at what rate is it charging?

Okay I used a different charger this time... instead of the Apple 20W charger I used the Anker Nano which is also 20W and I had no issues/DAP did not freeze with this one.

190-780mA using the Anker Prime Charger that is variable and 170 mA on a battery using the supplied usb-a to usb-c cable.

Got a chance to listen to the M8T for a few minutes today. Wonderful separation of sound. Bass has an honest depth (not bloated or exaggerated). Mids are very detailed and rightly positioned as if listening to an intimate live performance. Highs are just about right. Not crazy sparkly, but more towards natural sounding timbre. I’ve been running it since last week and will give it a few more days to burn in before I do prolonged listening.

PS: I did have one screen freeze. A 20-second press of the power button got the machine to reboot.

Was the freez during listening sessions, while charging the device or both ?

During burn-in I noticed it. The device was on the charger!
