Anybody remember the 6th generation iPod Nano? This was a great little device that Apple made before they ditched the headphone jack to boost their BT headphone sales and then totally threw in the towel on dedicated music players. The M0 is basically a 6th gen Nano on steroids - perhaps what the Nano would have become if Apple hadn't sold out for corporate $$$$s. The M0 is a similar width and height, but a little thicker. It uses similar touch-screen controls, based on a new OS developed by Shanling. It supports Bluetooth (apt X and LDAC), around 15 hours of playback on one charge, a 0.16 Ohm z-out and comes with an optional clip case so you can wear it like the old Nano. Awesome for runners, cyclists, or any situation where you don't want a large DAP or phone bouncing around in your pocket. It has no built-in storage, but supports microSD cards up to 512 Gb. It has more output power than Shanling's larger M1 player (80 mW into 30 Ohm) and has the exact same quad DAC as the LG V30, so you'll already be familiar with the sound
I've only had a chance to listen to it in a fairly noisy CanJam environment, but it looks/sounds great - it was my favorite product from this year's event.
It doesn't have wifi and doesn't support streaming of any kind - it's just intended for on-device playback. I'm not sure yet how good its shielding will be. Apparently sensitive IEMs can pick-up some high-frequency noise, but only while the screen is on. It supports USB-C and you can use it both as a USB-DAC and as a digital transport, e.g., to a Mojo or Hugo. Take a look at the spec sheet - you'll be amazed at what they managed to fit into a device this small, and at a price less than what you'd pay for most cables these days:
