Where did You get it from?

It's a direct import from china.
Was not easy to get it and it's really expensive!
So it's better you wait for the global release.

Any news?

Still set for November release on international markets.

I'm not planning to change my M6 Pro this year but didn't realize M8 is available in China already. Thanks for info.

I'm sold, I decided to stick with WM1A over R8, thanks to Mr Walkman FW mod.

I need to get the M8.

 

[Redmasta]

My M8 will arrive today from china. I hope it's what i've expected.
But i am trusting shanling alot. I am sure it makes the best possible sound

 

[Xinlisupreme]

it makes the best possible soun

@Redmasta Where did you buy it?

 

[musicday]

Why the back is made of glass and not aluminium and a small glass window for the WiFi, Bluetooth? Glass will break quite easy and make the battery replacement more difficult

shanling is not aibasso, they have no problem with the battery and will last for a long time, do not worry

The M8 is here and it supports MQA!
I was owning M6, M6 Pro and now the M8, but the M8 is much bigger and the screen is also a big upgrade. All is highend grade, the wood box is crazy nice!
The next days i have to compare the sound to the M6 pro.

@Shanling can i use the GMS Patch from the M6 pro to install the google services at the M8?
If not it would be very nice if you could send me the patch for the M8.
thanks alot!

Does it offer MQA streaming like R8?
I'm told by my friends M8 sounds softer and warmer compared to R8, making it ideal for long term listening on 3.5mm out and on balance, it becomes more detailed.

@Redmasta Looking forward to M6 Pro vs M8 impressions.

I haven't figured out how to enable MQA yet. No MQA display appears in the Tidal app. Maybe @Shanling can enlighten us about this? Yes Shanling always has a rather soft sound, which is what I prefer.
After first 5h of listening, i am really happy with the M8. I have to listen for longer period to give you impressions of the sound. But i can tell you there is more detail than at the M6 pro.
It's a very big and heavy player, but battery life is great!
