I'm very much interested, probably about Christmas time.. But it will be hard to hear it in the UK without buying it and I'm very happy with the £99 I paid for the M0 and £199 for the M3s, so at a potential £400 plus, I'm not sure it would be worth the risk, but an better sounding M3s with the M0 Ui, does sound interesting.

Same problem for me in Canada, took a flyer on the M0 as it was only $140.00 CDN but once you start getting to the edge of my budget I really don't want to buy something I can't demo. Big reason I never bought the A45, or the M3S, not willing to risk my entire budget on a DAP I can't try first

For £199 I think the M3s is amazing, but to part with double that for what may just be a touch screen and minimal SQ upgrade without a listen would be hard to justify. I'm hoping for a Amazon UK Black Friday deal and sell my M3s as 8m sure the sound quality will improve on it.
My M0 is a keeper though, that's destined to sit on my amazing old tech shelf in years to come.

I also think that $499 might prove be a tough sell. There are other android daps like dx150 and x7ii that offers 3rd party app support with interchangable amp modules. I think $399 might be a sweet spot that can undercut the competition.

I’m guessing you mean tidal? Not Spotify.
Nope. I mean DNLA and Airplay. Streaming from sources on your network, not commercial streaming services which require proprietary software installs.

Why have WiFi and no streaming.

As I posted few times in this thread, we are working on implementing streaming services. But we don't want to advertise it until we are 100% sure.

I am familiar with them and bought a couple of portable amps from them and demoed the Cayin N3 there as well. The problem is you can't demo what they don't carry and they don't carry Shanling or Sony. I want to try the M3S but no go in Toronto anywhere and Sony A series forget about it.
