Does anyone tried planar magnetic headphones with the m5u like hifiman arya or he1000 stealth? I know the sound best with a desktop amp but maybe as a backup?

So guys, I actually just wanted to take a quick listen and see if the sound changed a little when it was burned in. It's now been another solid 4 hours!! This player is really addictive. I just sold my Sony AM 2 to a friend. I don't need it anymore. Ohh that sound from the M5U is just divine for me!!! I've had a lot of players from A&K, Hiby, Ibasso and Sony. But the two Shanlings M8 and M5U are my absolute favorites. I particularly like Shanling's own operating system. It Works Perfect!!! Very good performance !! Bravo Shanling now it's time to develop the M8U based on the M5U, come on guys there's still something going on!!!!

Comparing M6U to M5U—
M6U has quad dac design whereas M5U only the one?
I’d like to better understand if and why a four dac arrangement would be superior?
