A "preview" of Shanling M5s from its distributor in Vietnam. Sorry, it is only in Vietnamese

I'm sorry if I've missed this, but does the M5s have a 10-band EQ? I remember a discussion about other types of DSP that are not impelmented, but I don't recall if basic EQ was discussed.

Yes, M5s has custom EQ already.

German distributor "hopes" to get it still this year. How can there be no confirmed dates yet?

Polish distributor audeos.pl has the preorder shipping date set to "around 25.11" and the preorders end tomorrow (15.11).

11.26 was the last date I've heard from musicteck in the US. Hopefully we're still on track, but I'd be a bit pessimistic in general. Those dates are always a bit optimistic for my taste.

Edit: I deleted the rest of this post and apologise if I caused offence to anyone.

Our Canadian distributor is visiting us tomorrow, will discuss M5s and future models. We don't accept "not enough demand" as excuse to cherry pick only the best selling products.

So.. how did the meeting with the Canadian distributor go? Did they accept to be nice Canadians and distribute the M5S?

What colour is yours? My M5s is serious black, serious heavy and also sounds serious
@Shanling why don't you provide the screen protectors? Even you don't have the screen protectors separately?

I'm coming from the M0 and the sound difference is huge... really really detailed...

The player is heavy... the looks are premium.

Oh yes. Black M5s looks and feels truely high end and premium! Compare to the M3s, the sound of M5s is also more detailed, more refined. To me, the most impressive thing is the sound holographic. It sounds so 3D! But I think the difference between M5s and M3s is not that huge as to the M0.

To be honest I kind of think their prices are decent.

Yes, I got LCD2C for 49,990/-. Right now it is 64,990/- though. They are selling Campfire Comet for 14,990/- which is also a very good price.
There are some products which are priced very high but most of the pricing is reasonable.
And they have an excellent option "Try at Home" at no charge which is excellent for people like us.

Anyone have a comment about the noise floor on sensitive IEMs yet? Any hiss or noise?

Andro (2.5mm terminated cable) + M5s => zero hissing during playback at normal volume, and with volume down to zero during playback - I hear a very very mild low level. M5s is damn quiet.
