Shanling M2s Hi-Res DAP with AK4490 + MUSE8920, Bluetooth, & USB Out

[Malevolent]

Hi folks, I finally decided to get the M2S (after a month, or so, of deliberation) and I must say, I'm definitely impressed! It has a very natural, warm tone that fits my tastes (very) well. I initially thought that its UI was a bit dodgy, but after an hour of using it, I can't say anything really bad about it.. well except for its highly sensitive scroll wheel, which makes one-hand operation a little tedious at times.

Nevertheless, it's all about the sound, and for its price tag, the M2S certainly punches above its weight. Thanks for all the impressions and opinions, guys. They were spot on!

You'll love 99 Classics, still an awesome headphone after months of usage and after owning many other headphones!

I'm definitely getting a pair after I buy new iems , that should hold me awhile

I would like to play and stop by pressing the volume key shortly.
Please make sure it is reflected in the next firmware.

There is a separate play and stop key, but it is difficult to press due to case interference.
And when you press the volume key briefly on the playback screen, there is no other function.
It will be much easier to play and stop with volume keys.

Ah!!! And one more thing.
If you activate the clock function, you must press the power key twice to enter this screen.
So I turned off the clock function in the setting, and the clock at the top of the screen also disappears.
Even if you turn off the clock function of the standby screen, please keep the clock at the top of the screen.
Finally, Korean translation is not good in functions and settings.
Please refer to other Korean devices and I would appreciate your attention.
Shanling m2s is a good device to use for a long time.

We will release the tool for people to DIY the UI in the future.

Any news regarding this?

For me that's a must. Also I would love to be able to have more tags on play screen. Like year, genre, subgenre, etc.

Sounds like you're giving out orders rather than asking, isn't it?

Yes the case gets in the way - that was already given as a feedback to @Shanling . Pressing and holding the "Wheel" - it should bring up a different screen with more shortcuts.

This was already communicated to @Shanling - we're waiting for further updates.

really something to consider as once you sell your X5 3G and get the M2s, you still have a few $ to pocket! It's a good, back to basics (non-touchscreen) dap to play with. Firmware is stable too.

Shanling I need the DAC filters implemented by next firmware, or I will introduce my little m2s to Max the hammer :0

man I wish I could photoshop

And don't tell anyone, but I actually like the sound sig of the m2s better than the fiio x5iii

Great news if this becomes true . This reminds me of the UI customising that was being done with the Cowon D2 some years back .

I apologize sincerely if the expression is wrong.
I do not speak English well. So I'm using Google Translate.
This is not an excuse, but I hope you understand.
I apologize once more.

It seems to be good that there have already been many requests.
Shanling M2s is a good device and I am happy to use this.
