Despite this, I feel privileged to have Martha so close to my 'eggs'.
Cooked eggs are better than raw eggs 🍳

Well maybe not in this case...

Ok, thx. Qobuz and Tidal has the new Floyd live album at 24/44, your screen grab shows 192.
That's a bit misleading as Amazon Music will always display 192 on any DAP I had so far but is playing only with a limited rate depending on the recording
This attached snapshot is from my iPhone (not M8) to illustrate that the Pink Floyd album is 24/96
On M8 it is saying that M8 could do 24/192 maximum but song is playing at 24/96

You have to learn, and learn quickly that you must be gentle with him/her. He/she can be very temperamental!

Burn her in naturally and feed her a steady diet of high quality files.

That reminds me, I think my M8 deserves a name...
Just don't name it “Hal!”

Has anyone got an additional zipper bag or similar for M8 (plus let's say 1 pair of IEMs?

Not extensively tested the different player apps but found out that PowerAmp is defaulting to 352,8 khz and playing silent with hiss (I will uninstall this one)
Hiby seems to come out as best SQ and feature wise.
Guys, you need to try MSEB, I though that was reserved only for Hiby devices but no...
But there's also a quirk with sample rate.
Seems that you start with some normal 44khz and then for some song it jumps to 352,8 and is stuck there which of course is making Martha sweat.
Anyone finding a solution here would be great as this player is awesome Imho...

I don't have any 'zipper bag' yet, but I have purchased a storage case that is semi-transportable...

I purchased from AliExpress: shorturl.at/ltzAF

For $18 I couldn't grumble at all - smooth zipper, firm case and it fits the M8 in the leather case. There's some shedding of the inner felt but it seems to be stopping now (having only had it for a few weeks).

Thx
Just ordered the same for longer trips
Now searching something for on the go
Are there smaller foot print leather cases with screen protection?

Not sure!

I'm looking for the same, let me know if you find one.

That does look like it could work! The stated dimensions suggest the M8 will fit fine.

Doesn't look too bad aesthetically either...
I posted another one, last one in my edited post is even in leather though a bit thicker.
Which one do you like most?
