That's the thing, I can vouch for their older M2 and m5. Those are both wonderful pieces of machinery.Then again, Shanling have shown themselves recently to be a reliable manufacturer with good quality products. I sure hope TAE follows through seeing as that "new product lineup" announcement made no mention of the Icarus 1/2. Also, because I put in a tenner for that Icarus 1
Honestly my AK 100 MK II is literally like a shanling M5 in UI.
M5 never crashed on me, never had errors playing back 24 bit flac files or even 16 bit or weird MP3 files even.
FiiO Music App whether it was x5III or x7. It had bugs that annoyed the heck out of me.
I tried playing some Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn MP3s and the x5iii choked on it and slowed down tremendously. like she had no experience in DTing.
Also cutting off first couple seconds of a song :/
not an issue with AK100 mk II.
