That stock screen wallpaper that shows the four AKM chips on the circuit board is awesome!
Any have the leather case yet for this? Waiting on mine from Ali. Hope it’s a decent fit/feel/construction

I do!

Feels great and it’s snug.

I'm waiting for mine to arrive from HiFiGo!

Mine is coming from Amazon today

Just got my case.
Good quality.
Even better, sounds to me like it tightens up the player’s low end response. I’m gonna let it play all day, encased, to see what other sonic changes may occur.
They were also kind enough to include a batch of those tiny ‘hi-res’ stickers in the package. Applied conspicuously to daps, these are reputed to really benefit treble extension. All in all, I’m gonna give it a 48 hour cook. Cheers

Wow!!! You have a dry sense of humour. Had me going for a minute, stickers & case changing sound LOL.

We audiophiles are keenly aware—supernaturally so—of the impact on sound by even the remotest, most tangential factors.

Going to take a 3 hour trip tomorrow to my beach home. Going to listen to Shanling 6M U/EA Cleo/ Aroma Thunder all the way.

Let us know how that goes. As I bet, there will be some times when you will need some "offline" music needed.

 

[TheRH]

Also, has anyone compared the Ultra with other 5" players?

The M6U is only a touch warm like my M9, but not as resolving. The M6 Pro 21 is dryer and more technical. For a warmer and more dynamic DAP, the M6 U is the more enjoyable M6.

Hi Claud, I enjoy your posts. I am relatively new to the high end music world. When you say "resolving" what does that mean to you? Thanks and Merry Christmas! I have the M6 Ultra and I am very happy with the sound, but I have not heard any other DAPs to be able to compare.

Resolving to me means each instrument is easy to determine and music is crisp and clean.

Hi Claud! Thanks for that concise answer. I guess I better not listen to any more DAPs for now or I will end up spending thousand’s instead of hundreds… the Quest for tone continues. As a guitar player it is a DOUBLE quest!
