Looks nice, looking forward to DAC and other details @Shanling

 

[NymPHONOmaniac]

Yep, curious about all SPECS.

2.5mm balanced power too.

I like that now lot of DAP have balanced, really give clearer background noise floor as well as lotta extra power.

Hope dac will be by cirrus or sabre....or AK4495-97 (not the over used AK4490).

Very neat.

I am wondering if anyone has formed an opinion on how similar in function and quality this new unit is to the FIIO M6?

 

[Ghost_1]

I hope this is like an upgraded M0, I really like the M0 but miss some of the features the M5s has. Like balanced output, customizable EQ, and screen size. I just hope the M2x isn't $200+ cause that would put a dent in my wallet. LOL

 

[Nayparm]

Will the EQ work in this one?

 

[TooPoorForHiFi]

Whats the Rated Battery Life for FLAC playback in 2.5mm Balanced?

Pretty much the Only thing I care about.

according to this site the M2X will officially release in Chinese markets around march 12th, and will be priced 1298 yuan...that's roughly 200$

still no news on specs

Soon it will be 1 year since we revealed Shanling M0. Flagship Shanling M5s was announced just 6 months ago. Now it’s time to fill the gap between them with a new mid-tier player. And what could be a better fit than third generation of popular M2 model?

Introducing Shanling M2x
​

Shanling M2x is smaller brother of our current flagship Shanling M5s. Same beautiful design, MTouch system and rich feature list. And while M5s stays as our top model thanks to its superior sound quality, M2x will be tempting alternative for anybody looking for slightly smaller and cheaper player.


Shanling M2x will come with few new features*:

- Tidal support – For never-ending streaming of music (ONLINE mode only)

- USB Bluetooth transmitter – For high quality wireless sound from any computer

- Advanced USB output – For use with any external USB DAC, now including compatibility with DLNA, Airplay and Bluetooth receiver modes


Other features:

- MTouch 2.0 system

- Bluetooth 4.2, two-way connection

- LDAC, AAC, apt-X, SBC support

- 2.5 mm balanced and 3.5 mm single-ended output

- USB DAC function

- DLNA & Airplay support

- OTA upgrades

- 3.2 inch touch screen

- Single micro SD card slot


* All new features will be implemented to other models in the future via firmware update

Will you announce a new model, although M0 support is not in time?

In time for what? I don't remember ever seeing a timetable.

The impatience and neediness shown on this thread and the M5s thread is very sad to see. Do you people not have lives that this matters so much?

I for one understand the impatience, this forum is after all about getting our hands on the latest tech ASAP.

I'm glad to see 2.5 balanced is on the device but Bluetooth 4.2? That is kind of a let down I hope that we can at least get some bluetooth 5.0 features like what Radsone did with the last ES100 update for Bluetooth.

perhaps BT 5.0 more expensive?
at least we are getting LDAC.

Possibly, and you are right LDAC is nice... guess I'm just nitpicking. lol

 

[originalsnuffy]

I would be interested in the power output specs. I would assume sound quality similar or better than the M0 which would be great.

For an M3X version it would be great to take a look at the ibasso 120 for design ideas. Big power....dual micro SD slots....dedicated line out. Keep 2.5mm balanced because otherwise the unit becomes too thick.

My M2S is a real workhouse so I would be interested in how this plays out.
