Shanling M6 Player - New version with ESS DACs coming soon

I am annoyed by the lack of gapless playback option and the music app in general (stops whenever I browser the album list). I tried Fiio's app and it didn't play the music... Any good alternative recommended?

I just tried an album that has the gapless album tag set...on the M6 Shanling player....no dice, it does not respect the tag (all my other softwares do):

Mp3TagName: ITUNEGAPLESS
MP4 Tag: pgap
Means: Gapless Album

I've just got my M6 for Christmas! 😀 Any updates on adding MQA to this model please?

Not yet decided if the MQA will be coming to the M6.

Shanling Music app does support gapless. Still waiting on our software team to implement it.

This should be the #1 priority. I have gapless on my M0 and M5s, but not on the M6? It's a step backwards.

Does the M6 supports AAC codec for bluetooth music playing? Is its sound better than SBC? Thanks

There is no support of AAC on M6.

We fully understand this is major issue in our app.

MQA for m5s but not for m6 makes me think twice whether to keep trusting the brand if those are your future plans.

MQA licensing is complicated, especially when it comes to products already on the market.
Unfortunately can't discuss this in deeper detail.

MQA was released with a firmware update for M5s a long time after it's launch. FIIO released firmware updates with MQA support on most of it's DAPs while being on market for a long time before that.
