    Introducing Shanling M5 Ultra - High-End MTouch Portable Player at $589

    Interesting, +1 for the big battery. I wonder is 2 sd card slots would be possible to have in some later iteration, since it uses MTouch?

    FIIO first cassette player CP13 is officially released!

    :thinking:... I have been wondering about when can the player be considered as fully off? There does not seem to be any way to actually explicitly turn it off, like one can turn off a digital player... I suppose the only "proper" way to consider the CP13 to be turned off is simply to not play...

    FIIO first cassette player CP13 is officially released!

    I would be curious to know what does ''dual mode power supply design actually mean... like if you have it plugged in via USB-C, does the battery not get spent?

    HiBy RS2: dual card slots, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 8x--news and impressions thread

    A. No. The navigation is pretty quick. B and C. Yes. You can create both favorites (by clicking the star next to the search) and playlists as you like. D. No idea. The RS2 can be plenty customized in terms of sound signature (brighter/warmer, etc.)

    HiBy RS2: dual card slots, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 8x--news and impressions thread

    MQA is not really qualitatively better than FLAC, I even avoid it on purpose. The RS2 is a pure audio device, which means it has no internet connectivity whatsoever on purpose, to not be distracting. HiBy has other players that do support Tidal, but this one is designed to be local playback...

    HiBy RS2: dual card slots, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 8x--news and impressions thread

    I was responding specifically to the question about storage. Personally, I also have this player because of its non-distractive approach with local-only playback and a very usefully long-battery life compared to Android-based DAPs, because I use the player while on the road and can get several...

    HiBy RS2: dual card slots, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 8x--news and impressions thread

    The advantage of this player is that you have two SD card slots available. 2tb sd cards are not available on the consumer market yet, the maximum capacity as of now you can buy is 1tb for one SD card. But what you can do with this player is buy two separate SD cards of 1tb capacity each and have...

    I use a Sandisk 1 tb MicroSD card and it works well with the RS2.

    There's no HIGH/LOW gain switch in the pull-down screen from the top anymore. That seems odd.

    Shanling H5 - Portable DAC/AMP/Player, AKM AK4493S DACs and sweet warm tuning

    @Shanling This looks like a potentially interesting device, I only have two questions: 1. Can the data/DAC usb port also function as a USB host? (To connect additional storage, like an SSD for example, in addition to the built-in SD card?) 2. I have seen a review which mentioned that the on...
