Is the leather case worth it?

Nice, £40 cheaper than amazon uk.

Hows the Battery Life with Bluetooth streaming on all the time? 
 
Can someone confirm if its possible to Stream Spotify / Google Play Music from Mobile Phone to the M1? Any other players in Lower price range do can this?

I have posted about streaming - http://www.head-fi.org/t/816385/shanling-m1-an-ipod-nano-competitor-dap-usb-dac-usb-transport-bluetooth-4-0-aptx-dsd/1560#post_13043214

The $5 cable on eBay is surprisingly sturdy.  Don't see spending $40 on a cable like that.

I've got the $5 ebay cable. It gets the job done!

The cable is on par with the TTVJ cable that runs $20 for connecting a Mojo to micro usb, although that does include some phenomenal service.

only problem that I have with this cable is when the case is on the M1, the connection is not tight so Mojo just doesn't recognize the M1. I don't know if this happens with other cable for M1-Mojo.

My previously linked Amazon cable sits tight on both ends.

I'll be using the m1 with the Amazon cable I posted. Should be on my porch when I get home from work.

Hi guys! I've bought my M1 yesterday and I am waiting for it to arrive!
But in the mean time I have some questions:
 - My phone is a Microsoft Lumia 950 and I want to stream Spotify with it. Do you if I have to activate Apt-X on my phone or if I need a third-party app or something?
 - Can I charge it with my 3A phone charger?
 - Where do you buy your memory cards in Europe? Amazon?
 - Do you recommend upgrading to the latest firmware? How easy is it to upgrade?

I can answer two of your questions:
1.) NOTE: The M1 does NOT come with a USB cable.  You will need to buy a cable with a USB-C end for the M1, and whichever connector will mate with your Charger / PC at the other end.  Once you've got a cable, then - yes, the M1 will charge from any standard USB Charger or PC port.
2.) Upgrading the Firmware is very easy (once it's downloaded from their fairly slow servers - http://www.shanling.com/Product/Detail?id=fe144c3b8eca414f9b1e0cdf0a135b38 )  You just unzip the archive, and copy the update.upt file to the root folder of the memory card.  Then go into System Settings and select System Update.
 
Hope this helps!

1 . Probably not a setting that can be changed will work OOB most likely
2. Yes and 5v charger will do it will only draw 2A for your 3A charger (it's okay)
3. Microcenter (or Amazon price drops, or Best Buy price match to Amazon) I would not by from 3rd party Amazon seller unless you know they are authorized camera shop or something.
4. Yes

And FYI my sealed M1 had a USB cable inside the box.
