hello i was the shanling m0 and sold it, the Zishan 4497 its good update ?

It depends on what kind of headphones you use, multiple ba drivers don't sound so great but large headphones and higher impedance buds sound great, and some iems sound good too but the zishan has high output impedance so it can affect b.a. drivers in bad ways

I’ve shanling m0, its good for portable, better UI & feature
But if you looking sound quality then go to zishan dsd ak4497eq

Anyway i want to confirm that zishan dsd external dac is not working on iphone
Hope zishan update this...

Bros any comparison with ibasso dx150, any experiance

thanks,
i have iem,

What iems? Like I said multiple b.a. or hybrid iems with b.a. drivers might not do too well, but dynamic drivers sound good

Any suggestions for opamps running in a stock new DSD? I like the one provided, but really like the Muses02 in there. I feel, right now, it might be a bit arrogant in there. Any other suggestions with some descriptions?

There are some members of the WaZe Facebook group, who may have contact with the Zishan developers. You might ask your questions there.

Hi All, just got the zishan dsd ak4497 and loving it. Does anyone know how to connect via coax to a chord hugo 2 or any other dac? Which port is the coax port? Thanks in advance!

If you go back one page in this thread, there's a photo of the SPDIF output port, in this post - https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-zishan-dsds-corner.826185/page-70#post-14548101

I'll answer myself...figured it out, it's the line output at the bottom. Using a short 3.5mm to 3.5mm silver cable from fiio. Works great. I' m actually quite shocked as to how good the zishan is as a standalone player. The Hugo 2 gives more space and detail butt the difference is not 1900$ .....

Thanks to DBaldock9 for taking the time to answer me.

Does anyone here know the max SD card size this will read? Want to get something bigger, like 128 gig but not sure if it will read

Ive got a 400gb card in there and it works fine.

 

[Themilkman46290]

Thanks, guess 256g should definitely work, I asked because I feel most manufacturers lie, wife's fiio said 128 but couldn't refresh or read without crashing even though the package said it could, but this is good news, thank you luvdac

Does anyone know how volume control is implemented? Does it affect sound quality?
