You could either plug the M0 to your phone via USB or stream Tidal over bluetooth. First solution would not deteriorate SQ. Second solution would compress/ convert your music data. Depending on the bluetooth codec you will notice a drop in SQ. However, once LDAC bluetoth reception is implemented in M0 I think you would hardly notice any difference to the USB solution when straming Hi-Fi Quality Tidal music.

Will LDAC receiver mode come with the new FW? Please
LDAC receiver works nicely in next firmware. Here paired with my Honor 9.
One note to all M0 users, "quality setting" in M0's BT menu doesn't affect the receiver function, only the sending. When you use M0 as receiver, set up the quality/codec on your phone.
The volume is very low when connected to my iPhone X over bluetooth (using AAC or SBC on M0). I have to crank up the volume to almost max at my iPhone and the M0 to at least 50 to have a bit of volume.
And no sound at all when paired with my Mac over bluetooth. Tried both SBC and AAC. It works well serving as DAC when connected by usb-cable.
With BT connection, you must take your player as sort of lineout device, with M0 working as preamp. So put the iPhone on max volume and control volume on M0.
Will try to find some MAC to test BT.
Just get my M0. I connected M0 with Chord Hugo using OTG cable. Each time plays a DSD file (DOP), the sound stuttering. Playing another format like flac, always stops after a few minutes. I'm using firmware 1.5
Shanling please repair it...
We are aware of the stopping problem and it's sorted out on next firmware.
With DSD output over USB, DSD64 works fine for me.
CPU of M0 is little bit slow for DSD128, that's why we limited it just for D2P mode for now. Unfortunately, when you add USB out, the DSD128 is simply too much for M0 to handle.
Hi, i just red a german M0 review. The reviewer said that he couldnt make out a difference in soundquality comparing the little M0 to M2s, M3s and even the ibasso DX200. The only remarkable difference should be the advanced driving power of the bigger models. Wooden ears or the nekkid truth? I have to test this our for myself. Will order the M0 as soon as i made the color decission. Red... black... or titan color... puuuh Must... test... everything... can't resist
For price of DX200 you can buy 8 M0 and few cases to go with it. So I think that sorts out your colour choosing problem quite easily
Have any question about our players? Just PM me or send me email.
