Shanling M3 Plus - New Midrange Android Portable Player at $469

[king23]

Does anyone else have this problem or just me?

Sometimes the device stops or doesn't output audio, even though the volume wheel shows that it's playing( I see a blue colour)and next to the volume number it shows a kHz number as if it is playing something even though I have closed everything. I've already tried other music player apps. The only thing that helps is restarting the device, but sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries... it's super annoying.

I also read a comment from a user on AliExpress saying that this defect happens to him too.

Maybe my M3 Plus has a manufacturing defect.

Does it have the Google Playstore and can you install every Android app?

It came preinstalled with the

I have not used it alot but i have not had this problem, well when i used spotify and i changed the track the audio cut out, and all i had to do was to change the track and the audio was back.not a big deal as you are experiencing but i am going to test it more to see if this is the case and i can replicate your problem.

Btw i am in love with the audio from this one, its just my kind of sound.
Now i am officially a Shanling fan and like this house sound.

There’s no videos of the interface navigation to see if the menus are at least fluid.
Bummer!!

Thanks, sometimes this happens again when I leave the device for a few hours and then when I try to listen to it there's no more output audio.

I am going to let you know if i experience this, and maybe it is getting fixed with a firmware update

How does Shanling usually handle firmware updates for their daps?

They usually post a heads-up here in head-fi in the appropriate DAP threads and provide a link. You can also check in your DAP's settings and it will be available there too to update OTA. I often find it's faster using the provided link than in-DAP updates. The official Shanling website will also provide the download link in the downloads section.
