Yes there is no single fully featured review yet of m3s so, waiting for your impression and review.
Jaben have a demo unit to test. I'll be testing it later.

This player is really good . Since I got mine on Monday I haven’t touched my dx200 yet . M3s paired with the ibasso it03 and the cb12 cable is pretty darn good. And yes let me also confirm that balanced sound better .. :L3000:

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?

Any updates on this? Thx.

A few observations since I got a new M3s after returning my original Titanium M3s. The stock digital filter is on sharp roll off on open box which equates to more of a powerful full version of the AK4490 implementation.

For guys that feel the sound is a bit on the sharp or has a bit more bass than they are used to, this might be the reason why. It might be due to the filter setting and how it works with your particular earphone. I like slow roll off better. Seems to be a bit less dynamic sounding but more natural. Short delay sharp seems to influence the bass end for guys that want a full bodied bass.

It all sounds very dynamic to me but with slight differences depending on the filter settings.
