"Two-Way Bluetooth 4.1 Supporting Apt-X standard'... does this mean aptX BT reception?

Great question. The other DAPs I've tried with two-way Bluetooth only supported aptX in transmission mode. When the DAP was in receiver mode, aptX wasn't supported. It'd be great if M3s did support aptX both ways. @Shanling?

When first introduced by Shanling staff, balanced LO was hinted, am I wrong?

It was hinted at, but even if it doesn't end up in the initial releasei won't be disappointed. I honestly have no use case for that as I don't have any portable amps with 2.5mm Balanced Output and they're not common at all. If I'm at home and want to use the DAP as a transport, I'll be using USB out anyways. Guess I just don't see how this is relevant except for a very small minority of users. Maybe someone can provide a compelling reason?

Btw, MusicTeck already has pre-order page up: https://shop.musicteck.com/products/shanling-m3s-portable-hi-res-music-player

Also, video going over the features, not sure if it was shared already

Thanks for sharing, definitely this will be another success for Shanling. Anymore news about M5s?

Woah, that is awesome! I'm sure quite a few music lovers are going to pre-order it.

Does the SE use dual DACs or only on balanced output?

Noob question: If only the balanced output uses dual DACs, then does that mean the sq is twice than SE?

Thank you for those who will answer.

The sound quality cannot be twice from DAP to DAP, the dual DACs design helps with extending the dynamic range and lowers noise, some people say that it sounds better. I think that either one DAC or Dual DACs can sound good with a healthy implementation.

I understand now. Thanks!

I'm waiting for a review of this DAP compared to Aune m1s.

Still deciding if I'm getting this or the sony nw-zx300.

M5 is the old model. M5S is the new model coming out, after the M3S I guess

Oh, I see now!

Good to keep in mind! After I'm so impressed with M2s, it is only natural I'd be curious how M5s would be like!

I think this is probably the first thing that I know but someone else doesn't know. It has always been the other way round ))

I keep wondering how much that scroll wheel would get stuck going in and out of my pants pocket.

From M2s experience, you don't have to worry about it, especially when dressed in a case.

That's a fair point.

£269 and no internal storage - think I'll wait for the Sony A40 series.
