They have basically put the same dacs in the M5 as the shanling H7 at more affordable price which is excellent value for money considering the price of the H7..ive been waiting for a M8 to appear on ebay for a long time and ive never seen one for sale so i am really glad this is close to M8 sound

Thanks for your detailed review, the comparisons between the differences in sound presentation with other DAP’s is especially helpful to subscribers who are trying to match the sonic profiles you so well describe with their own preferences. I have watched this video a few times already it is so full of info!

Thanks a lot for giving us with such an excellent detail review of the fabulous Shanling M5-U. I'm considering to purchase either the Shanling M5-U or the Fiio M23. I'm one of the loyal Shanling fans for quite a while already, I owned a few of the Shanling M6 series DAPs with different DACs such as AK4497(2020); ESS9038(2021) and AK4493(2022), I enjoy all of them, I even had bought their DAC/Amp known as H7 with the newest AK4499 & AK4191 at the X'mas of last year. I enjoy all their sound quality and characters. They are all phenomenal and fabulous. However, I still have couple questions would like to have your professional options. Wondering if the M5U can install Google Play to download different music apps other than the pre-installed Tidal, because I have no idea where to find those HiRes music without streaming on the internet. I'm not saying that Tidal isn't good, but I have subscribed to other music apps😅. Another question is that the M5U uses the same DAC as H7, would their sound character be the same? Thanks again 😊
@tonedeafmonk
@tonedeafmonk 5 месяцев назад
No zero android on this player so no Google play going to happen. They may add more streaming services? Not sure on the sound signature of the H7 maybe try asking on the Shanling forum on HeadFi?

Same exact OS as my m1s, when there are bad internet conditions, the resolution of the Tidal files adjusts on its own. So suddenly it might drop from 24-192 to 16-44, or to Aac, this is seemless, much better then the Hiby R3 I was using, which would just skip and pause. My only complaint about this video is we don't really see much of the actual DAP under review, it is waved at the camera on occasion, we see three quarters of the machine, that's about it. Although we saw it while reviewing the OS.

Just ordered the M5 Ultra, reminded me of my Ibasso 50 and 90 units from several years ago.. (Don't remember exact model desc). Did not want the Android OS, as I have a YMP-A1 DAP from Temu, which turned out to be a dud. One thing you did not cover was the max SD card storage capacity. Too many DAPs limit the SD card to 128 or 256 MB, got a lot of music.

Hi i dont know if you have updated the firmware off shanling M5 ultra but there is deffinately an improvement in the sound quality to my ears the warmth has been reduced a little, there seems to be a bigger sound stage with much better instrument sepration, and more clarity overall, the sound has improved quite a bit, the treble seems alot more extended and bass seem more controlled, detail retrival and resolution seems alot better as well, i was listening with hidizs mp145 and slow roll off low gain and also tried medium gain sharp roll off and in either setting there seems to be more clarity, thats the V2.0 firmware version

@markwhinnem2258 I don't think there is a rule for gain settings it's been rare where I could hear a difference in sound from a DAP by changing gains. My general rule is to set the gain that will allow me to get the volume I want for the Kann that means if I get to 120/150 that's about right for that particular gear.

And how can I change the battery? There are no screw to open the device. I believe everything is glued. If the capacity of the battery is very low I can only send the device back to the manufacturer to replace the batty and that will be very expensive. So after 3 Years operation I have another electronic waste. Other DAP, like iBasso DX 260 and also Astell&Kern, have the option to replaced the battery.

I had asked an audio store about the Hiby R6 Pro II, they told me the sound character of R6 Pro II is more detail and analytical, it isn't as warm as the Shanling and also has way less power than Shanling at something around 380 m/W at 32 ohm. Besides, both sub bass and mid bass would probably will let you down either, if you like bass.
