Twin, can you post a pic of the M5 and Aune B1 together? Size comparison?

Sure Jon:

Here is how I devised a way to hold all my Player/Amp combos together, Magnetic Tape:

Thanks, Twin.
Reason I asked is coz, using my daily driver ciems (12ohms), I find myself going as high as 100% up the volume at low gain.
So I'm greatly considering an amp that will go well with it size-wise.

 

[TwinACStacks]

Jon, Be aware that the B1 runs in Class A, so at like 24 ohms even in High Gain it is only putting out 30mW of power but with almost no distortion-very similar specs to the Mojos. If you need POWER I would recommend the FIIO E12. Although it doesn't have the THD specs, it DOES have 800mW of power output. It's substantial. It can drive iems to dangerous sound levels. It's roughly the Same size as the B1.

Is there anyone have windows 8.1 dac problem? I can't run dac feature without disabled ''Driving signage enforcement''. When i disabled this, it works without problem. What is the reason of this? Is driver not compatible to windows 8.1 fully?

Will the M5 be able to drive the Hifiman HE400i without external amp? For home use.

Yes, but you must set the volume to 120. You don't need any amp.

There does not seem to be a website for Shanling. I am a Mac user, can I use iTune to transfer music from my computer to the M5 or is there a specific program I have to use?

All you need to do is to copy files to an SD card and insert it into the M5.
Possibly that's also recognised when inside the M5 and when you plug a USB cable. Never tried on Mac...
Website is here btw. http://www.shanling.com

Has any member here purchase equipments from this website? Thinking of pulling the trigger, but never purchase from them before.

Hi
I cannot decide which to pick. This will be my first DAP. M5 or Cayin I5 or Fiio X5iii. From what i gather Fiio X5 and I5 have similar sound signature and performance.

I read that fiio tend to be plagued with issues. Does that mean between i5 and M5? Overhere the price difference between the two will get me a 200gb card, i5 has higher price. I know i am the only one who can determine that additional price but really would like to reach out to u here.

Any idea when shanling droid will be out?

Your thought please.

I use Grado 80 and AT900 open back. Listening to acoustiscs guitar slow rock and Jazz.

Thanks.

Having heard all three, I own the x5iii and M5. I have not had any issues whatsoever with the x5iii. That said, my go to is the M5. I really, really like the Shanling warmish sound.

Your decision seems to be whether you want all the bells and whistles such as streaming capability and surfing to go along with it. For streaming the x5iii is far better than the i5. If you want pure sound, to me the Shanling wins hands down. Best of luck!

Hi, does anyone still have problem with M5 crashing when using auto-standby function ?

Everything is OK for my M5 except this: if I do turn it off manually, everything is fine. But every time it does turn off by itself due to the auto-standby feature the M5 ends in an unresponsive state with black screen. I must then push power button for 15 seconds, wait 5 seconds, then press power button again for 15 seconds to bring it back to life.

I have tried to factory reset it, and also to re-flash firmware with no success.

If I remember well this problem appeared with 2.0 firmware revision, and is still present with 2.1 firmware : anyone experiencing same issue?

I still use fw 2.0 but never have any problem such that.. note: I never let it read my card library, because I prefer to browse by folder, if this makes any difference..
