  I understood my problem. I think that a bug in the M5 Frimware.
If i play DSD 128 without headphone/earphone plug on M5 i have this message: "File not supported".
If i play DSD 128 with headphone/earphone it's OK.
 
I test Jriver and Foobar2000 and i think that M5 is not compatible with native DSD 64/128 by USB DAC MODE (with or without ASIO driver). Just ok by DSD over PCM.
 
What do you think ?

 
FYI,
 
I have an answer by Shanling's support : (Really good support)

It's normal or not ?
 
This is normal. Since without the headphone plug, the output mode will be switch to SPDIF output. SPDIF does not support DSD5.6MHZ.

Yes, under USB DAC mode, M5 cannot support native DSD. M5 support playing native DSD in its own playing interface.

Hi,

May I ask for M5 owners for a favour?

I would like to know the exact measurements of the M5's screen. Height x width.

Thanks!

Is it powerful like the M3 or like the M2 ?
 
By the way can it drive fullsize headphone .?

Yay! The Massdrop shipped 2 weeks early! Should have my M5 soon.

Same. Already changed my sig. Looking forward to busting out my old clickwheel thumb skillz. Now the waiting game until DHL drops off my package to USPS so I can officially start getting excited.

I want to buy the player from eglobalcentral.eu. Any experience with this shop? I have iBasso dx80, but M5 is probably better

I have a Sandisk 200GB card in my M5 and have reached a point where I have about 150GB used.

While Everything shows up fine in File Browser mode, the most recently added songs/albums are not showing up in the "My Music" database mode.

I understand that Shanling say the M5 supports only up to 128GB cards but it would be nice if full support for the 200GB cards could be added in a firmware update. I hope this is not a hardware limitation since this only has one card slot.

I'm in the US so got my M5 from the US eglobalcentral.com and all was well. It arrived very quickly.

The issue with this vendor is that if there is a problem requiring a return, they require the unit to be returned directly to them in Hong Kong.

I did not have to do this as my M5 is fine so far.

after the addition you need to update the music library, or new ones can not be displayed. I hope you do?
