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

Will the auDioquest DFR/DFB work as a dac on m2s? Just curious

 

[windows95]

Just saw a review for a player called ruizu which looks very similar to the m1. Didn't know they used generic shells and software

They don't. It's nothing like the m1 beyond being a copy of the form factor. The shell is not the same one either.

Shanling M1 and Ruizu player has nothing in common, apart from them deciding to use similar design and wheel. I recommend looking deeper into specifications and photos, to see there is ahrdly anything similar.

Our players run on HiBy link software, which is used by some other brands too, but not Ruizu.

Didn't try it myself, but I saw few people using Dragonfly with M1 and M2s.

It'll probably work, but remember that the DF and similar portable DACs don't have their own source of power, and so it'll have to draw power from the DAP, which may severely shorten the battery life depending on how much power it draws.

anybody tried a Beyerdynamic DT1990 with the M2s? Can it drive 250 Ohms sufficiently?

Disabling clock removes the lock screen by the way (so only one press on power button is necessary).

I use DFR with my m1 and m2s all the time, yes they will shorten play time on a charge but they are amazingly efficient designs. I only notice a few minutes difference when using the DragonFly.

Thank you for the info. Added an explaining sentence in there. Cheers

Cheers for this little tip. I wonder if Shanling is even aware of this. I had previously suggested that there should be a way to disable the screen lock, but they never suggested this.

I think someone mentioned it earlier in this thread, actually as annoyance as the clock disappears from the top bar too, I was just curious to check it out and suddenly realised that it's a feature, not a bug!
(Even if it's actually a bug lol)

Yes they are aware of this. They said that this option is kind of "hidden" and was implemented since the M1 days.

I have the shanling m1 and im curious about m2s for the sound signature which is more brighter?? I preferred with brighter sounding, is the m2s upgraded from m1?? Im also curious about life time of knob shanling m1 since the m2s have 500,000 clicks and 10,000 rotates so how about m1?? Is it same?? I didnt found any information about that at manual guide also website

m2s is a clear update on sound department. i used m1 like a week than sold it. it was midbass humped, zero resolution, muddy player.
