I'd get the fastest card you can afford.

Pretty sure Shanling will use any (I've got a UHS-I Speed Class 3 Samsung Evo in mine -guessing you mean UHS-I Class 3 and not UHS-II or UHS-III which I'm pretty sure are different things, cos UHS-II and UHS-III cards aren't that cheap! The U with a number inside is the class, look for a I II or III on it for actual bus speed, or indeed UHS-II or III will have extra rows of pins on the back. Check this to explain why https://fossbytes.com/uhs-ultra-high-speed-interface-difference-uhs_i-uhs-ii-uhs-iii/). UHS is usually reverse compatible with SDXC and SDHC devices.

The reason you should get a Class 3 UHS-I over say Class 1 is not that the DAP will need that, but you'll spend ages copying files over on your computer. It's faster with a SD card adapter/card reader, but still limited by the speed the card is at. So if you want to move gigs of files regularly, go for the fastest class you can afford.

Of course if your card reader doesn't support UHS-I etc then it's wasted...Also transferring via the DAP is the slowest way, I only do that for a few files cos it takes an age - and of course doesn't take advantage of the faster card.

Sorry, I mistook uhs rating and speed,
in my local shops, Samsung evo plus u3 cards is $3 away from sandisk ultra uhs-1 u1 a1 cards with same capacity
guess I'll pick just buy evo for m0
Thanks for the guidance

Has anyone else found it completely impossible to "swipe back" through the menus? I can scroll left and right across the main menu, but the "swipe" facility doesn't work at all. No speed, no firmness of touch, no part of the screen makes a difference.

Given the scrolling left and right works, I can't help thinking it can't be a hardware issue with my device.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Hi, I have just ordered a Shanling M0, looking forward to it coming :)

I would like to ask if anyone has used it as a DAC for a phone? I would like to link it potentially with my Note 8.

Does anyone know where to get a USB C to USB C OTG cable for linking to such a phone?

Thanks for any tips or findings!

I use my M0 as a digital transport for my iBasso D14 (which, in turn, drives an Aune B1S amp). Does anyone know of a high quality USB Micro C (M0) to mini-usb cable?

I got my m0 today and am very impressed with this little device. It's the first time I've heard LDAC to my Sony WM-1000XM3 headphones, and the LDAC makes a big difference.
I've also really enjoyed listening to music on a microSD card playing on my HiFiMan 400s headphones which seem like a really nice pairing with this DAP.

Now I'm trying it at as a USB DAC and it always reads 48Khz/24 bit on the screen. I've tried it both with a Chromebook streaming 44.1Khz/16bits to it, and on a Mac sending it 44.1/16 and 192/24.
Whatever I send it the screen on the m0 reads 48Khz/24bit.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

M0 and Android phones, should work in theory, especially if you are running Android 8. Reality can be little bit more difficult and you are facing problems of different firmwares, different softs, etc.
I can tell you, with my chinese version of Honor 9 it works perfectly, no need to set up anything, just plug and play. But that doesn't mean it will be the same with others.

Firstly, before buying dedicated cable, I would advice to get cheap USB-C OTG adapter, connect it with your phone over basic cable and see if it works fine.

Stupid bug in the system, ignore it until it gets fixed with firmware update.

I tried connecting the Shanling m0 to my computer via USB and to my headphones wirelessly via LDAC.

The idea was for music to go Computer --> m0 -> Headphones

This didn't work. It is not yet possible, I assume?

I'm wondering how much processing power is needed to read audio files from the uSD card, and transcode them to the BT LDAC codec?
And, I wonder if more processing power might be required, to receive a USB audio stream, and transcode it to the BT LDAC codec?
So, that raises the question - How much processing power does the SOC in the M0 have?

Nice... do you run UAPP with it? If so, does it give bit perfect output?

I run mostly Youtube.

Not implemented in M0.
