Shanling M8 Android Portable player

[szore]

Have you tried using UAPP? If that works for you just disable the native music player. If you have an Android player, there's no reason to use the native player - UAPP is the best there is, by far.

What is UAPP?

@Shanling, just wanted to mention again that I keep having this problem where all of a sudden the music just plays verrrryyyy slowwwww... and if I just pause and start it, it goes away. But it happens often.. sometimes it happens about once an hour, or sometimes a few times per hour... any thoughts?

UAPP is for USB Audio Player Pro, a licensed app you can install on Android through the play store or the APK if the player allows it.

When I type USB Audio Player Pro into APK, I do not see it in search results...

I think apkpure doesn’t work as this is a licenced app (i.e. not free). You need to obtain it through google play store as far as I know.

Because it's available in play store only and You have to buy it.

Oh I didn't notice the APK versions I found weren't fully legit and I would recommend against it and sticking to the Play store.

Hello,

has anyone had or has the opportunity to test the M8 with
ATH-WP900?

regards,
Simon

Recently purchased the WP900 and the AP2000ti. Had some high end Audio Technica headphones a number of years ago and frankly like that they are still made in Japan.

The WP900 sound great with the M8 and with all genres of music. I have been using the Neutron Player with DSD and Flac files on my M8 and the staging is quite good with any of the headphones I have used but the WP900 detail retrieval and the accurate bass once I put 20+ hours on them was what I had expected and was not disappointed. Seems to me that the mids were a bit recessed out of the box but not any more. The M8 feeds them well and for me a welcome change/up to iems even when traveling, love them.

So, are any users having any issues or difficulties with the M8? Has anybody tried it with Sennheiser hd650 Headphones?

 

[Shanling]

Yes, I have seen a lot of manufacturers make last minute changes to upcoming DAPs (etc) because of it. Really difficult situation. I guess the M30 might be affected as well.

We have enough supply of AKM DACs for M30, it will not be affected by this.

Hello,

If I understand correctly this M8 has no line out? Because I want to connect it directly to my tube amplifier.

regards,
Simon

No dedicated line-out circuiut or output connector, but you can switch it into line-out mode and use it with external amplifier just fine.

I reported this to our software team, but so far they were unable to replicate it.

I really want to try the M8, but I cannot get the Sony NW-WM1Z out of my head that I demoed. Wish I could find an M8 in Chicago area to demo.

Offline qobuz. It basically doesn't work when saving music to a memory card.

Is that qobuz related? Is tidal and spotify working in offeline?
