Silly to use USB Type-C - it really isn't necessary for a basic little DAP. All it does is make it harder to connect it to other devices.

 
Actually it is the right thing as it is 2016 already. USB C is the most convenient standard for all kinds of usage. That standard seriously needs to be pushed.
It should be illegal to sell new devices still with Micro USB or USB 3.0.

Try putting the i5 and the Mojo in your pocket.

I personally think it's perfect of Shanling to think ahead and they are keeping with the times. USB-C is the future.

I don't see why I would wish to do so...

You dont see why or you havnt tried or never go outdoors with your music? In my case in Hong Kong I sm outdoors three hours a day so I need a dap or Android device that connects to the Mojo and that I can put in my pocket every now and then.

 

[BartSimpson1976]

Also outdoors (commuting) 2 hours a day. That's why I have  a dedicated DAP and why I do not see any necessity for a Mojo.
Never came behind why people buy a DAP for portable use and then start stacking it to an external Amp/DAC to carry around a brick.

We don't live in the future.
 
We live now.
 
And now, there are extremely few portable USB-C to micro-USB cables.
 
 
The M1 is not a ground-breaking futuristic DAP. It doesn't need any futuristic connectivity. It's just a small ordinary DAP. It's nothing futuristic and it needs to be easy to connect to other present-day devices.
 
Why make it harder for people to use a product?

We don't live in the future.
 
We live now.
 

 
That's why USB C. That's the standard of now. Micro USB and USB 3.0 is the past.
Don't blame Shanling for using a standard of now, blame all these accessory makers for only providing standards from the past.
And only if more DAP makers use the USB C standards the accessory makers will have to follow.

Micro USB is not USB 3.0

I wonder if the DAC function will have a low power draw.  The M2 draws quite a bit of power in DAC mode; more than the X3 II which is my primary comparison.  It matters when connecting to a PC or especially to an iphone.

 

[BartSimpson1976]

   
Micro USB is not USB 3.0

 
of course not. That's why I said both are standards of the past.

Is this thing available yet?

  Crowdfunding means that the M1 project is not finally finished yet. We would use the fund we collect from crowdfunding to finish and perfect the project, then finally launch the M1. Supporter would get their corresponding return-such as a chance for lottery, an M1, etc.-after the crowdfunding. 
 
Thanks. 

 

[Deftone]

Perfect for mojo. Ill be ordering one for sure.

 

[rcoleman1]

They're going to sell a lot of these. Got my cash ready.
