Any got any advice for how to optimize the sound of the M8T? Currently using UAPP, but open to other options that might give even better performance.

Edit: Wavelet working with bit of fiddling about.

Anybody tried using UAPP's EQ on the M8T? For me, the EQ does absolutely nothing.
@Shanling does the M8T disable EQ in UAPP and other player apps?

A quick search would have let you know this has been discussed. Someone made a reference to UAPP EQ not working in bit-perfect mode.Anybody tried using UAPP's EQ on the M8T? For me, the EQ does absolutely nothing.

Yep of course I searched and I saw that post. But you can turn bit perfect mode off in UAPP, so I don't think UAPP is the issue.

No, hence my post! 

Just received some clarification that PEQ does in fact work with UAPP on this dap. Just have to update the OS firmware apparently. Issue solved.

Only thing i dont like on this DAP is that its native musicplayer doesnt do gapless, for a listener to Pink Floyd albums or live albums this is somewhat sucky...
Still, awesome little DAP
(ordered the Shanling tubed CD player because of this DAP)
Tonight will have my first listen to the Joal on this...

Recently bought M8T and I am more than happy with the purchase. It has amazing synergy with RN6 and Clear OG. Really enjoying this DAP. Only gripe is the longstanding poor software and hardware optimization of Shanling. In last 1 week it already gave me chills of going kaput twice.
Other than that it is an outstanding DAP.

Nice! How are you liking the Focal Clears off of the M8T? I was very impressed by my Utopias playing off the 3.5mm output, but I'd need to buy a different cable in order take advantage of the extra headroom on the 4.4mm output.Recently bought M8T and I am more than happy with the purchase.

Just to confirm what Jerry said above, the UAPP EQ does work once the latest firmware is installed, so that's great.
The charging bug - I've noticed there are zero issues as long as the DAP is on while charging. I also only charge from 20% to 80%, so have never seen how the DAP behaves if it's left plugged at 100% battery.
never mind

Clear OG sound fantastic out of M8T, on 4.4, both in Transistor and Tube/Triode/LG. Really one of the best sources I have ever heard for the Clear OG.Nice!
