Shanling M1s Digital Audio Player: better! 

A few days ago Shanling added Tidal streaming to the M1s via a firmware update. Updating is easy over wifi :)

Thanks for the excelent review! I've been loking for a great, in depth comparison between both of them to decide which one to get. Now, I'm convinced to buy the M1s, mainly because of the wifi and better UX.

I just bought the M1s a couple of weeks ago, and I am very happy with this little guy...

Thanks for the video. I received my M0 Pro 5 days ago and I'm very satisfied with it. A larger display and a longer battery life would be great but I'm not going to buy another DAP in the near future, it would be like throwing money out the window.

That's decided it for me. Excellent review. I've just ordered one

Thanks for your excellent review. I very much agree with the M1S being more value for the price difference compared to the tiny looking M0PRO (for me it's +€64 in the Netherlands Amazon). Almost went for the M0PRO but I think that little screen would annoy me eventually, and you sir persuaded me😅. I've just ordered the M1S, gonna update it right away next week. Cheers

Shanling just released firmware 2.0 for the M1s. Easy upgrade over wifi!

Great review...I love your reviews.

Excellent review. Subscribed.

5 months too late in the video but this is well done! Thank you, Sir! You made me order one. Hahaha

Great review, Stephen...you covered all the bases. I, too, have a Hiby R3 Pro Saber and am considering getting the Shanling M1s. Have you compared the sound of these two players using headphones vice IEMs? If so, does the M1s compare favorably to the R3? Thanks again for the excellent review! Sam

waiting for mine to arrive ✌😎👍 my first DAP 😁

Great review. I have M0 pro and HiBy R3, M0 pro is so difficult to navigate through albums (for me at least) . I like to get the M1s. Can you see the album cover when you brows through albums? Thanks

Merci pour cette vidéo , trés instructive 👌.

@StephenIngraham Is the bluetooth bi-directional , so it´s possible to pair a bluetooth headset (not that it makes much sense) . I ask because my old M0 (not pro) ,have this feature.. Thank you

is there any option to turn off the lyric from the display? so there's just album cover displayed

thank you so much for this review Stephen, I am between M0 pro - M1s and this truly the best direct comparison. I think its definite. M1s is just...Better. only drawback is the size, but, at least you dont have to live using another dongle.I have one very important question. Can it be connected wirelessly to airplay (wifi) and at the same time connected wirelessly (ldac/aptx hd) to bluetooth true wireless earbuds? kudos from athens greece

Do you know how well it compares to the cowon plenue d or any of its varients sound wise my Plenue d has a stupid lock that won't reconise songs on the sd card after it gits 128 gb so wven if i put in new songs i won't be able to play them so i considering changing players but the plenue d sounds really good for its price so its hard to change.

The M1s is way too BIG for what I need. I replaced my iPod Shuffle with the M0 Pro for jogging, skateboarding and going on walks.

does the bluetooth connection smooth or full of jitter?

I am using LG V40 ThinQ for music. Should I upgrade to Shanling M1s?

I have had nothing but trouble with my Shanling M1 - I rarely use it now due to CONSTANT problems. Sound. You can't alter the volume. Oh it's got somewhere you supposedly can but it does nothing. The volume on all my ear and headphones are all WILDLY different on each of them, blasting on one and can barely hear another. Bluetooth is the worst Ive seen on anything and thats NOT an exaggeration. I link with one earphone, then next time I use it it doesn't work it delete and try to connect and it refuses to. I wish I'd never bought the ******* thing. I always end up getting out my Sony NWZ A17 which is as it always has been for 10 years, perfect in everything. As for the quality of sound, its no better than the cheapie Fiio I once had . Actually not as good as that. The Sony - well, sounds excellent and very little difference between what earphones I use on the Sony ! Maybe I've just got a dud one but can't return it now and tried to get in touch with Shanling for help and heard NOTHING back
