Do you need a back pack for this? I've never seen an overkill setup before...

Hopefully sounds fantabulous

This is more of a stationary item. Meant for a desktop, obviously not portable. Transportable is probably a stretch as well.

Can’t even bring it in a backpack... it is hefty and heavy. Unless you want to fix your over straighten postures ?

It is more like a desktop setup that can also be plugged or unplugged to bring with you. For example if you are home, you only need to plug in. If your home is beach front and you would like to bring it to the beach with a drink, then setup a table and related drinks, a headphones and the M30. You can bring it to and from office. Definitely not on the go

If your setup comes with the beach front... well... how can I refuse that! Portables are overrated! 😹

Btw, seriously rubbish implementation Shanling.
With the horrendous slow ass server from Shanling, every time the screen turns turns off while "downloading" the firmware due to "inactivity", the firmware download stops. You have to keep waking the M8 up and re-tap to continue downloading.
Doesn't Shanling know how to allow firmware to continue downloading in the background? Btw after 30 mins i'm only at 5% 🤦‍♂️

I agree that the M8 can be frustrating in terms of speed, snappiness and UI...but I still maintain that purely in terms of SQ it's at least a solid tier above anything else out there right now (not withstanding some of the more ludicrously priced models) and that on this alone all of its quirks are easily forgivable.

Does anyone else hear sq improvement with f/w update, or is it my imagination?

You may want to check your WiFi, I'm at 28% in 20 minutes.

Uhh, yes i'm sure everyone knows about local update. But 1 of the main reason we choose a DAP with wifi feature besides streaming is OTA update without needing manual plug & update.



Haven't tried that since i'm not near a power plug and don't have a power bank with me atm.



As in when your screen is turned off it still downloads in the background? Is there any settings to play around for it to do that?
I changed to server #2 as well now, much faster but still slow. 1 hour now at 49%. At least it's moving now.
Same problem. Dowload stalled three times. Not a wifi issue, as I was able to download over WiFi onto my Mac in about a minute. Oh, well. Maybe with the new firmware it will work better next time :)

Quick Q: I've been loaned a M8. How does one find Tidal app? I don't seem to see Google Play Store to instal Tidal. :frowning2:

[edit: found apk for both Tidal and PlayStore. The ApkCool one just refused to DL]
