Much bigger font and contrast black and white theme would definitely help

That, you can do yourself with the theme tools shanling has put up in another thread. It unpacks the entire firmware as well, so you could play around with it as well, if you can handle it.

I've never realized the brightness setting was actually very low but then again I've never used the player in the middle of the road on a sunny day. I'm assuming you're probably running with it or something? If the M3S has hardware limitations regarding brightness, I think one solution for this would be to use HibyLink and just control the player from your phone (it's very likely you're bringing your phone when going out, if you don't then this won't be the solution for you). I believe brightness is not something a software update can fix, but then again it could be something the developers missed, let's see what Shanling has to say.

I asked engineers about possible higher brightness, not sure if can be pushed to higher.

M1 has different screen, so can't be directly compared.

Don't believe this has been brought up before but will LDAC be coming to the M3s?

I suspect that depends entirely on what HiBy Music has in their future plans.

Unfortunately not possible to bring LDAC to older units.

Aw... man

@Shanling I have question about DSD output. D2P is DSD unpacked by the M3s before it goes to another DAC. DoP sends the information to another DAC then lets that DAC unpack it. What is Natvely?
Or did I get that all wrong?

D2P - converts DSD to PCM, sends it as PCM and is decoded as PCM
DOP - Packs DSD in PCM package, but decoding is done as DSD
Native - Sends DSD without need to convert it to PCM package and then back

If you want, you can google up many discussions and articles about this topic.

Great device, however screen was too dim for me, scroll wheel is just scrolling two items occasionally. However I found this to be superior to my AK Kann that I have owned recently (yes, exactly, however you might have thought this unlikely),.

As every other company on market with electronic devices, even Shanling is always developing future models.

@Shanling I am getting a boot loop while charging. If I unplug, it'll boot normally. At this point, if I were to charge it, everything starts to lag. Works fine if it was unplugged. This has been a recurring issue since the v1.5 firmware update.

Boot loop in such case is likely caused by short circuit in USB-C connector, please try to charge with different cable.
