I'd like to join this if possible. I've done reviews in the past and have a great history here as a poster (debatable) and trader (proven), LOL. I very much like that you are not Android based. My takes are short but balanced in terms of cost effectiveness and sound. I understand matching. I have an experienced ear and will only need these for a few days. I have access to a number of earphones including a few different Campfire audio, the Inear Prophile 8, EE Spartan, Etymotic, and better full size Grados and Meze. Players are QP1r, AK120 sans resistors and a couple others.

I'm in the Chicago area.

Will be added!

Also Unit should be leaving @reginalb these days(sorry for some delay over christmas and new year) and be on way to @Howlin Fester .

Good day gang. Hope everyone is well. I have to apologize for the timeliness of this reply. I was extremely sick last week and then had to immediately leave home for a hockey tournament with my Son over the long weekend. But enough sniveling from me.

I received the unit on late Thursday night 01.09.2018.
On Friday I quickly opened the box, and grabbed the M2s (and case), powered it on, stuck in an SD card, and took it with me to DC.

Today I inventoried the entire kit.
M1 - with all accessories
M1 case with 2 armbands
M2s - with all accessories
M2s case
M3s - with all accessories
M3s - case
L2 - Usb C to Usb micro cable

- All 3 of the M series DAPs accessories include the following:
USB A to USB C cable
USB A to TF Card reader (mini unit with cap over the USB A end)
Little pointy poker thing
4 protection screens
Instructions
Warranty card

In addition, the M3s includes a tiny "Hi-Res Audio sticker" (In addition to the one installed on the front of the M3s)

According to my math, i should be allowed to demo the kit until Monday 01.22.2018 when i will send to @Army-Firedawg.

So far I'm really enjoying the M2s. Great sound, form factor, build, navigation.

Sorry to hear that you weren't feeling well, but happy that your feeling better and back out on the ice/pavement!

The M2s is a real gem huh, I love mine, sound quality is great and I feel the form factor and navigation make it by far one of the easiest DAPs I've operated operate

Looking forward to my turn with the kit, I've had 2 of the three and liked both. Will be fun to have all side by side.

 

[Howlin Fester]

I shipped the package out today to @Army-Firedawg and sent him the tracking number.

I really enjoyed my time with the M2S and the others. I will have my review up soon.

How, goes it!? Giving an update that I've received the tour units and all looks to be in good order. Just got off shift a short while ago so I'll be giving them all a good listen very soon.

Really nice review! To two points, so other reviewers know it:

Cut off - happens only on very first playback after you turn on device, it doesn't cut anything when you change songs, albums, folders, etc...

Scanning when SD card is inserted - this can be set up in settings, if you want player to do automatic scan or not. Apparently somebody set up M3s differently than other two players

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you liked it.
I edited my review to post your comments in the body (with recognition).

And sorry to even mention the power on track cutoff, but the reviews ask for Pros and Cons. I had to find SOME KIND of CON.

No need to apologize, it's known problem, just want to make sure people understand it's very limited, just to very first song you played.

Received the package with the 3 players and accessories.
