Nah, just good focus on the design and making sure we don't push power too high. You can use some app on your phone or computer as DLNA controller, with M5 Ultra acting as receiver.

Send us email, will send you the firmware after we back from Munich.

RCA out is separated from Headphone amplifier. When you play standard DSD and not upsampled, does it work? Is your H5 correctly detecting incoming DSD signal?

XM5 has software line-out mode, no dedicated line-out circuit. In bass, XM5 would be more dynamic than M5 Ultra. But overall tuning between H5 and XM5 is quite different.

Yes, it would be recommended to run the latest firmware firmware to avoid such issue.

RCA outputs are active when headphones are not connected. When you disconnect headphones, volume control now controls pre-out voltage, so try to slowly increase the volume of Pre-out. While they have the same DAC (Which by itself doesn't mean much), the amplifier section, power supply, USB...

We are aware of this issue and it was reported to software team.

M6U have completely different DACs and amps, so this is not really 1 vs 4 DAC comparison that woudl work. In my personal opinion, M6 Ultra is still a bit warmer sounding player and overall about the same level of sound quality as M5 Ultra. It can differ a bit based on used headphones due to the...

M0 has been on market since 2018, so six years now. At this time we do not have any planned updates to the M0, but we might release some if we add more features to M0 Pro, as their system is very close. For volume definitely check the Line-out mode. Bluetooth antenna on M0 is a bit weaker, so...

Playback buttons cannot be used in DAC mode. You can turn off the Charging in DAC mode on firmware V2.0. M6 Ultra would be warmer sounding compared to M5 Ultra. I would personally say they are about the same sound quality, with the amps affecting how will they match with headphones. Tidal...

Yes, it's still on the list of our supported models. But we don't have any info on when is next firmware update planned or what it will include.

You can check with your local Shanling/ONIX distributor about possible pre-order. There is no official ONIX seller on Aliexpress. If you want to buy directly from China, you can do through official Shanling web store: https://store.shanling.com/ It will list XM5 when released. No. Compared...

You can lock all the buttons and volume control, at which point only the press on volume wheel actives the player. It has line-out mode, no dedicated line-out circuit.

Oh yeah, Apple thing, make sense.

It's favourite component by our audio engineers and both our team and ONIX team likes its sound. It has been used among quite a few of Shanling and ONIX models.
