Here's to save you the effort of appeasing Alex.
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?
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?
Some early thoughts...
On the warm side, like the M2s, though a clear step up in quality. I'm listening in balanced right now, and it's a remarkably coherent, refined sound for this price. Bigger soundstage, greater depth. Right out of the box, it's a lively, dynamic DAP.
Now for a little negative...
Once again Shanling has case troubles. For the M2s, I couldn't really use the volume wheel when the case was on. With the M3s, I can't use the Balanced output. The Cutout is not wide enough for, I suspect, any cable. The 3.5mm single-ended output looks wider, but I can imagine some plugs won't like it.
So once again, no case for this DAP. Pinky will run the M3s in the nude.
