Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6
Oct 24, 2018 at 6:30 AM Post #3,751 of 6,418
Seems strange but I liked the unit that costs literally less than half the other unit. To wit; I really like the M0 and did not love the R3. The only knock on the M0 is that the display is small, so its harder to navigate. But the sound is way better than one might expect at this price point.
True. Even at home, I tend to reach for the M0 rather than the MOJO stack. Gap in SQ is not that big, and the BT receiver function is rock solid (switching between multiple devices).

I updated firmware to 2.2 and connected Mojo, using M0 as USB transport.
Playback still fades in. I would like to know if there is any plan to fix it.

I don't have Mojo right now, but tested it with iDSD and Sony WM1A in USB DAC mode and I couldn't hear any fade in between songs.

To eliminate any possible effects of the music itself, I tested it with constant noise files, and measured earphones with SPL meter, they showed no drop in volume when files were transitioning.

Does it show with all your files?

have a 10 hr business flight next week. Been bouncing around whether to take the M0, Hidiz AP60 Pro or the Hiby R3 but which one has the longest battery life?

I'm leaning towards the M0 and R3 because they use the same USB C charging connector as my LG V30.
I was thinking the M0 with the Campfire Comets or Bose QC25s for the plane ride
and the LDAC Sony WI-H700s for walking around

M0 is my main rig for plane travel. On plane, with all the constant noise and half sleepy mood, highest sound quality isn't needed. And tiny M0 in pocket is much more comfortable for long flight.

@Shanling
Is export of favourites or other playlists planned iin a future firmware release ?
regards
Markus

Not planned for now.

I'm using the Anker Soundcore Spirit X through aptX

I tested it with some BT headphones I have here(cheap 20USD BT adapter from Aliexpress and Huawei Freebuds), same test with constant noise I mentioned above. And there was no fade in/out or cut out between files.

Is it possible to try different BT headphones? Also please try different codec setting with your Anker.

Is bookmark/audiobook support on the list Frank? Or has it been placed in the backburner for now. Just curious.

Also do the lyrics have to be embedded or do they just have to have the same filename?

Audiobooks are still on list of features to add.

Just .lrc file with same name is enough.

No, I guess it shows only files which don’t have silence at the beginning. Fade-in is quite shorter than that of fw2.1.

Sound-wise, how does it compare to Fiio X1 II? I have the Fiio, but I'm looking to update due to poor user experience and firmware shortcomings.
If someone could chime in, that would be great.

In the future update, what is the priority order to support ReplayGain?
I want to decrease the frequency of volume control, so please increase the support priority.
That is also about the only thing remaining on my "want" list!

So I've been having an issue with selecting an artist, and when I try to select an album, it says "File not found."

However, if I just "open all" the files are there, and work just fine.

Is there a limit of how many files can be in the library?

Limit is 40 000 files.

Please tell me, is there in name of artist or album some apostrophe? There is some ridiculous glitch causing "file not found" on albums when there is some apostrophe in name. Will get fixed.

Shanling M0 custom firmware v2.2 by Vortex & aleXmod: link

- Highly optimized graphics, font and binaries for maximum speed. (CJK fonts preserved).
- English and Russian language strings was corrected/added;

Please do not mind I have only something to bemoan. To me, this firmware is very similar to the official v2.2, including the remarks I made in post #3717. Additionally, I noticed that this firmware has an issue on my player with displaying running text during playback.Of long titles, only the portion above the base line is moved from right to left, pixels under the baseline stay in place/are left behind, like parts of commas, tails of "g", and protruding parts from occasional Asian characters.

Cheers,
Anton.

So I'm not sure if it's on official 2.2 as well, but the clock and volume display digits are very misaligned... (and different size)
