I'm fine with non-aggressive bass as long as it still has weight and goes deep. The 262 itself is very smooth down low. As long as the mids aren't brought too forward I'm fine with them appearing as the focus.

Have you considered the M3 instead? The big difference between them is that the M2 is intimate and rich in acute details like watching a Broadway singer up close with a blu ray. M3 has the best ambient presentation - you're present in the theatre. Decays are perfect. Lows to highs is linear and upper extension is superb.

M3 paired superbly with the 150 ohm Zen2.0 buds.

I have but like I said, I don't want any sharpness in the highs which I have read about with the M3. Of course, one man's harsh is another man's detail.

Just saw LMUE has this on sale for 4 th of July. Great DAP at a GREAT price!

Wish they had M5 on sale for you guys, too...

 

[Jmop]

Whoa that is one hell of a deal!! I didn't know Shanling made amps either.

 

[Jmop]

Very tempted to pick up one of these DAPs. M2 or M3.. Ugh.. I'll probably try the M2 to get a feel for Shanlings sound.

How's the line-out quality by the way?

LO clean on bright side

but unfortunately, it does not regulated and does work not simultaneously with the headphone output

 

[Jmop]

So it sounds similar to the headphone out I assume?

but unfortunately, it does not regulated and does work not simultaneously with the headphone output

Wouldn't you only really need that for comparing line out and headphone out at the exact same time?

 

[golov17]

relay switch makes it impossible to simultaneously have two working outlet, and they sound different, because the Muses in the LO mode is disabled

 

[Jmop]

Got it. Clean and bright is the impression I'm getting from reading about M2 and M3 that's why I ask lol. Granted M3 is warmer.

 

[golov17]

if I had opted for the sound, I would have jumped on the m3, but I needed a small size, and m2 for its size is very good, IMHO. I am pleased with him entirely without the use of amplifiers.

 

[Jmop]

Yeah M3 is pretty bulky in comparison. It's like M2 is FiiO X1 while M3 is X5.

 

[nmatheis]

M5 is smaller than M3 but has nice full, warm sound. Too bad it's not sold by LMUE. I think they'd get plenty of sales if they had M5 on sale!

Besides size and sound signature, M2 and M5 have more mature graphical and hardware user interface than M3. Without a doubt!

Hey guys, may I know if the M2 is suitable in driving high impedance earphones such at the Mee Audio Pinnacle P1? Thanks in advance.
