Yes, no problem. You can flash any other version like the latest.

Thanks mate for the confirmation, it might help some else too.

Have you checked the In-Vehicle mode is turned off in the main system settings? I had the same issue and turning that off fixed it

You sir are a life saver !

The interface langage is in French so, in case someone is wondering, the option is labelled "Mode Vo" , Vo standing for Voiture (car) but not enough room for the whole word I guess.

Anyway, this option was on, switched by mistake obviously. Once off, not a single interruption anymore. Fantastic !

Cheers mate !

nb : I'm still wondering what is the goal of such function but anyway, just glad we can use the player again.

Shanling M0 Firmware V3.2 notes
(...)

Thanks! This firmware indeed shows diacritics as they are meant!

However, I do have two wishes.

1)
What about adding cross-feed? I prefer that over equalisation as it adds space to the music. The large numbers of equalisers suggests that some processor capacity is available for audio processing and crossfeed does not take that much capacity.

2)
I updated from FW2.3 and am not thrilled by the new themes I have to choose from. The player itself is very stylish and, O.K., taste is a personal thing, but the colors in these menus are horrible, for me completely out-of-touch with the exterior. I couldn't find the theme I used before. Would it be possible to have a theme in black with grey tones?

Cheers,
Anton.

I just picked this up so that I can play music through my new Sony WH-1000XM3 on a better bluetooth codec than my iphone. (I also don't want to carry my iphone to the gym).

Quick question/problem though - I set the bluetooth codec to LDAC-HD and while it sounded great, it was only on for a few minutes until it started to crackle and fade out. I switched to LDAC, and it seemed to do the same thing after a while. Switching to AAC or APTx made the problem go away, but I had thought I needed the LDAC-HD to get the best sound quality, especially from my hi-res 24bit files.

Is there something I should know? Also, I'm on a mac, so all my music is in apple lossless codec. Should I covert it to flac instead - would that help? Or do I maybe just have a bad device?

On airplanes I tried out LDAC-HD with the same Sony headphones. It was pretty much unusable for the same reasons you cited. I think a crowded space with many people using bluetooth is problematic for high bit rates. I dropped to a lower LDAC and it worked okay. In an airplane you really can't hear hi res anyway so it was not a big deal for me.

I don't know if the bluetooth subsystem is good or bad from a hardware perspective. But you certainly are not the only one who had a less than optimal experience with the high resolution options.

How does this player compare to the first Gen fiio q5 in sound quality alone?

 

[hifihov]

Can someone confirm this is expected behaviour?

If playing a large file for the first time (2 hours long), its not possible to use the slider function to fast forward to any point.

Once the file has played end to end it works. Like the file is being indexed in some way.

Cheers

Apologise for lack of updates, we are still stuck at homes, hopefully will be back in office soon.

BTW, any advice how to change this new Head-Fi look?

Just got an M0 and it looks good so far. Couple of slight problems though.

1. I have tried two pairs of wired earbuds and none of the volume/stop/start controls seem to work. That doesn't seem right. I think the wireless ones I tried did work but had a bit of "dropout". Wired controls should work?
2. I also tried downloading firmware 3.2 (came with 3.1) and it gives a "firmware check error" type message when trying to update.

Any ideas?

1. Unfortunately there is no support for in-line controls, our players lack hardware needed for this.
2. Make sure file is unzipped and in correct place(main folder of SD card)

From the latest 3.2 firmware:

I think this resulted in a bug on my unit where when I turn it off it goes to the blue battery loading animation immediately after the goodbie screen! I need to keep holding the shut off button for another 10 seconds until the unit finally turns off. If unnoticed, this leads to silently draining the battery while you think the player is off.

Will check this when we are back in office.

It's our first attempt for in car mode, this automatic power off is something we need to adjust.

Number 1, this is connected with our continuous search for better EQ/DSP system. When/If we find some we like, it might offer such function.
Number 2, I heard similar feedback from multiple people, I proposed to add at least basic B&W theme in future update.

LDAC HQ is the most tricky codec for quality of connection, more sensitive to position of devices and surroundings. I can only advice to be sure to keep screen of M0 facing away from your body(since there is antenna) and if needed, try the lower settings of LDAC.

Hello everyone!

I can't use my M0 as a Bluetooth receiver since last update. Any hint as to the reason why?

Thanks!

When i first started using LDAC it was fine all the time i travelled but when i hit london city and in super crowded areas i found the ldac was unlistenable - same issue - just choppy all the time....

Thanks!

Can you please post little bit more details, like which exact part of process doesn't work?

Well when the M0 is connected to my phone, there is no sound coming out of it, wether I stream from my phone or I play the music from the SD in my M0...

 

[Shanling]

Well when the M0 is connected to my phone, there is no sound coming out of it, wether I stream from my phone or I play the music from the SD in my M0...

When you have it connected to your phone, does the M0 show the proper screen of BT receiver as before? Can you try factory reset on the M0 and do fresh pairing with your phone?

Not sure how is playback from micro SD card connected to Bluetooth receiver function?

 

[Sylean]

It's connected but it does not show the BT screen as before.

As to the SD, while connected I can browse it and start a song, but soundless.

I'll give the reset a try and let you know.

 

[highlightshadow]

I had to do a factory reset this week. Tried update music as I'd added a bunch of new files but it hung about 30% through repeatedly

Did a reset and it updated fine
