FX2000 ??? What does that mean?

 

[golov17]

Useless update for sound. Better be added digital filters, the volume adjustment step, FolderPlay feature with the ability to play shuffle only folders inside another folder (discography, music styles, and so on)

It sounds like the same 2.0 firmware update that went live a few weeks ago. Confused, but also perfectly happy with my M5.

 

[Judge584]

Ok, after update when you start your M5 logo is changed... "Shanling X JVC"... Confused...JVC?

Maybe they're partnering with JVC the way FiiO partnered with Dunu?

 

[Judge584]

It seems... Digital filter option has disappeared !

I think Shanling will make an announcement soon about it.

That could explain the FX2000 firmware naming. Since FX series is mostly synonymous with JVC IEMs (purely speculation)

 

[Judge584]

Yes, sound is also different ( and I choose to come back to regular firmware... ).
Maybe this firmware is tuned for upcoming fx2000 iem.

How is the sound different?

 

[Judge584]

On my headphone, a Focal spirit professional, soundstage is a bit larger but bass sound a little bloated. It does not sound bad, I certainly cannot say that, but it feel less refined for me.

So, nobody is trying it??

The firmware JVC edition is a special tuned version for FX1200 from JVC (Victor Studio), and with no digital filter. 
 
We offer a combo of M5+FX1200 in 2016, in association with JVC China. This is why we had a special version.
 
Thanks.

Thank you! So it does explain why it wasn't a good match with my headphone.

wow... interesting...
 
@Shanling, is there any difference on the hardware? of this special edition and the normal M5?
 
Is the "no digital filter" mode also accompanied with 1x over sampling (~~ Non-oversampling)?

@Judge584, so you tried this special firmware? can you explain what you heard? and what headphone you are using with?

Same here, I went back to the original M5 2.0 (25.11.2016).
I did not like the latest firmware sonically either. For me personally is with less details and more "harshness", even with more fatigue after long listening.
Same results with headphones, B&O BeoPlay H6 Dj Khaled Edition, and home system, Denon POA-S10 + Jamo Concert 11.
