So what is the freebie mSD card some sellers are offering on AE with the M3s. I dont see any mention of any storage capacity for the said SD cards.
I just ordered from bright audio store, they are good and giving away maximum things one can get on AE. I Got Leather case, films and 64 gb sandisk. First they were giving me 32 and i had to bargain so one should definitely make request for 64. You can refer my order for ordering from them.

Changes:
1. Fixed the problem of the M3s automatically connecting to Blutooth headsets when Bluetooth is turned off.
2. Fixed the problem of having no sound when playback is restarted from standby mode.
3. Fix the problem of the progress bar not moving during playback.
4. Fixed system bugs for better user experience.

Great, 2 and 3 are what happened to my m3s.

Hi, what differences do you hear between your old DX200 and M3s? I'm comparing the M3s, Plenue R, and D-X1a and they all sound different but it's difficult to say that one is better than the other.

I don't have both now cus i sold dx200 ad returned m3s. So cant tell exactly. Base on my memory, DX200 w/amp3 is warmer, bassier and bigger soundstage than M3S. M3S is really harsh to my ears when i paired it with my A18. It added more sparkles, so everytime i used it with A18 i have to turn on EQ to make it smoother. I'm a person that doesnt use EQ but only with this M3S i have to.
You can look at the price of both and see that for sure DX200 will be better than M3S. With DX200 you can change the AMP to fit your preference or streaming with app like sportify, tidal, etc.
But nothing is perfect, DX200 has great sound but the OS is really lag for me. For example, in Mango Mode, when i hit the play button on the screen 3 times, it jumped to 5 or more songs. It has slow response when i touch, swipe left or right.
Well, even M3S is not as good as DX200 but i still like it. Of course its not my main dap, Its my backup one. But everytime i go out, i like to bring it with me. I like the form of it. Its small, so i can easily put into my pocket. And the design is beautiful. I like the wheel alot, its so unique to me.
Now im waiting to get a replacement from Musicteck. Hopefully i will get it later next week. I have a 2.5mm Shozy BK will deliver tomorrow. I wanna see how it pair will M3S :).

You sold DX200 and M3S is your backup, so which one is your main DAP?

Way to go MusicTeck!

That said, now that Shanling is putting the FW updates files on Google Drive, the download speed was blazing fast. Thanks for doing that @Shanling!

I updated but had to take the wee boys to a Halloween party, so I haven't had a chance to listen yet. Anybody have thoughts on it yet?
