Installed Google Playstore from Via browser ( from Apkpure website)works👍. Positive about ESS sound signature, best describe like Toneboard Version 1, almost bought TB2 pro, I'm glad I got this.Definitely an upgrade from M5S, doesn't get warm while charging. I like the delicate highs on ESS chip while maintaining a well balanced soundfield against AKM vivid.Good welcome for warm signature IEMs.

Against M6 Pro? A side-grade perhaps because M6 Pro provide an analog sound signature.

Might turn this M3X into dedicated streaming source for desktop listening replacing my bluesound.

Now playing Tidal app. Will hop to UAPP later. @Shanling You did good on this M3X , a price/performance breaker in my book!👍

UAPP not optimized yet for this New M3X, Will wait for updates. Tidal app sounds better as of now!

It comes with screen protector attached, but I prefer to apply nano coating on the screen. 😊
Screen comparison against M6Pro

Extremely jealous ahaha but happy for you my friend.

Any comparison with some dac/dap you have at home?
Save your jealousy my friend and thanks you felt happy.

Right now nothing much to compare except the M6 Pro. My other dacs are in another home😊

Wow, congratulations pal!
how is the battery, really that good? And the system is not laggy?
Although I have not timed the usage, roughly twice the amount spent on M6Pro. Laggy? Not on my end!

@slex Any noticeable Audio Delay / out of sync when using it as USB DAC, especially for Movies / Shows etc...?

There is some slight delay when used as a USB DAC. Rough testing shows it around 100-150ms.
