Can I safely pair the M0 with an amp for more difficult-to-drive headphones?

Does anyone use it like that?

I can get M0 new for 70 €, does it still make sense in 2020? Can anyone make a comparison with devices like FiiO BTR5 and Lotoo Paw S1? Downgrade?

Yes, you can safely use it with additional amplifier. Either set it into line out mode or use it as pre-amplifier.

My m0 batter won't charge, any way to get a replacement? OR a guide on how to do so?

Edit: I opened it and the battery is swelling yay... guess this goes into the recycling bin

@Shanling can M0 alone drive well a Drop Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee?

Then a question to those who use it with an amp, which one do you use?

Yeah, I saw that but unfortunately the battery isn't on their site anymore. Unless they have some somewhere, and I can't find it on aliexpress, seems like I'm sol... That and they glued the hell out of the battery for some reason

Sorry to hear. You can contact your local distributor and other the replacement battery through them.

Not really sure, didn't tested these. Overall M0 is not really designed to be used with power demanding home headphones.

Thank you for that input, I contacted the USA distributor and they will not sell me one. Any other option here or should I toss it in the trash?

Long time listener, first time caller here.

Wanted to share my experience getting M0 to work with a recent model Samsung phone without a headphone jack.

I figured that due to its diminutive size M0 would make a great external DAC for a Samsung phone that I recently got that sadly no longer has a 3.5mm jack. As many have found before, simply plugging M0 in does not result in the phone recognizing it as a USB Audio device. Moreover, this will drain the battery as by default M0 will try to charge the phone.

I was finally able to come up with a solution to make it work, although it may not apply to every Android phone (My phone has Android 11 update installed).

You'll need a full version of UAPP. Your phone must also allow you to select the device that's in control when plugging an external device into your phone.

I'm assuming you have UAPP installed.

1. Set M0 in USB DAC mode with a menu toggle.
2. Connect M0 to your phone with a USB-C to USB-C cable.
3. Phone will likely see it as a storage device.
4. In the USB mode menu that becomes available in the app drawer, select "Connected device" radio button in the "USB controlled by" menu.
5. UAPP will pop up notification "Open USB Audio Player PRO to handle null?". Answer OK.
6. UAPP will open with "USB audio device initialized!" message at the bottom.
7. M0 will now display the USB DAC bitrate screen (48Khz/24Bits by default).

You'll be able to play music through M0 using UAPP, but not the Android system sounds.

Also, when I compared playback with Samsung USB-C to 3.5mm adapter (using UAPP bit perfect mode) I found that Samsung adapter had a more detailed and nuanced sound.

Anyone using Swinsian and wanting to export their playlist to M0?
Here is the sed command to clean up the sed '/^#/d;s/Swinsian/A:\\Music/;s/\//\\/g' OLD_FILE > NEW_FILE. This basically remove the extra stuff added by swinsian, then format the as the Shanling M0 expects it. you just then move the resulting file to _explaylist_data folder on the root of the sd card.

This assumes that the exported playlist is right next to Swinsian's music folder

I keep returning to this little device despite having more expensive digital audio players. It just performs so well and disapears inside a shirt or pant pocket. It outputs some decent power too, powering my Porta Pros and IEMs better than some other DACs I've tried. The UI is simple and intuititive too. I think this will stay my main DAP until Shanling does another revision. It seems like a popular little product and would be interested in seeing a follow up (please keep the decent battery life).

I agree! I've had this for almost three years now and still love it. The one feature I miss is something that the iPod nanos had: when you're listening on shuffle, and a song comes up, and you want to listen to the whole album, you can open the album in a couple of clicks.

With this you have to go back through the menus and find the artist/album

Hi, does anyone use a Mac to manage their music library? I'm looking into how to sync a playlist of files from Mac to M0's microsd card. Currently on Windows and use MusicBee for that, but there is no musicbee for Mac. Thanks!

Podcast/audiobook support (not audible) and this would still be my daily driver at work.
