Shanling M1s - Compact Portable Player (Discontinued)
- Thread starter Shanling
- Start date
Hi @Shanling, After updating to firmware 2.3 I am seeing the following issues.
- Bitrate on screen shows 32bit for every single 24bit file I have on the player. 16bit and DSD tracks are showing correctly.
- Front buttons don’t work once the device goes into standby mode. Have to turn on the screen to click play.
- Track forward button on the M1s doesn’t work when listening with Bluetooth headphones, track back and play/pause buttons work fine.
- I have 6 m3u playlists in the _explaylist_data folder. The player freezes when I try to import. After restarting the player, the playlists are all there and working fine.
- Faster way to go back to home screen rather than to keep hitting the back button through every menu screen
- Search function
- On the playing screen have the option to only have the track details without having to swipe past the lyrics page, if you have no lyrics.

1. My Hi-Res files show correctly as 24bit. Can you please send us one file for testing?
2. That's standard behaviour and not something that our software team can change. In Standby mode device needs to be firstly powered on by the power button.
3. I was unable to replicate this. Does it only happen in certain moments, depending if screen is on/off? What Bluetooth headphones?
4. Will test
We asked our software team for all these 3 changes before, still waiting for any change from them.

Hi all, joining to the party.
Congrats Shanling for this outstanding and beautiful mini-dap, and its new Tidal app

Can you please tell me where to send a file for testing? I should also mention that all of my files are ALAC, so maybe your hi res FLAC show up as 24bit, but there is an error with ALAC files.1. My Hi-Res files show correctly as 24bit. Can you please send us one file for testing?

I was using the Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones on LDAC. I can try to take a video to show the behaviour and send it along with the file for testing.

@Shanling I can't find "My Daily Discovery" playlist in the Tidal app. Is there a way to do it, or do you plan to add it in future updates? Thanks in advance!

For those interested - I've tried my Hifiman Ananda (2022 stealth magnets) with m1s and it drives perfectly fine even on "Low gain", through the balanced output. Very happy about this.

I picked up the M0 Pro as a replacement for my M0. They now have the clip for it on Allipress. It arrived today (I had been using my old M0 clip with that putty sticky stuff filling in the gap behind it and holding it in. It worked until the actual one arrived. Weird buying something for $3. ish with free shipping. No money to be made there!).
The M0 Pro is definately a step up. I love how the wheel is more resistant and lower profile.
It's my go to jogging gear. Koss Porta Pro with Dekoni foam earpads. M0 Pro. It gets me through my workouts. I'm a really sucky runner!
Big winner, Shanling. Big winner!!!

The only thing I can think of that I would like to see is better artwork handling with Opus files. I embed my artwork and the M1S displays none of it with Opus files.

No plans for that.

Glad to hear you like M0 Pro with the clip case. But this is M1s thread?

OPUS support was added later, so it might be lacking some support.

I like the quick alphabetical scroll on the right side of the 'All Songs' page. Is there any way to set the same quick alphabetical scroll on the 'Album' and 'Artist' pages? It would help me get to the end of the alphabet quicker.
