About this deal

I mean, It’s good to have this app, and is much appreciated but you can always transmit from any music app you have via Bluetooth to the M1s and it will work almost the same. This also applies to IOS users so don’t feel like the M1s will not fulfill certain duties. The touchscreen measures 1.54 inches squared and displays a modest 240×240 resolution. It might not sound like much to some but at that screen size, it is certainly enough. The staging capabilities are good and my only critique would be a slight loss of sharpness and definition around elements that gets a small smear treatment due to the overall smoothness in the overall presentation. It’s a choice between Shreek and sharp or smooth and relaxing. I prefer the latter.

Since the M0 Pro was recently reviewed and is fresh in the memory bank I thought it would make an interesting comparison and contrast device. Even though they’re similar devices with similar features. So for example, one of my preferred TWS models is the 1More EVO due to their LDAC capability and when you pair them with the M0 Pro combined makes a great ultra-portable audio setup. Now, as a receiver, it drops aptX support. Fixed issue causing system freezing when accessing files on high-capacity cards / High number of files The basis of the new Shanling M1s is an Ingenic X2000 platform, which ensures appropriate performance and also enables possible future expansions through software upgrades. Of course, the M1s performs slightly better, it has twice the power and a dual amplifier chip setup plus a beefier processor. But this is only in certain circumstances, for example, in case you want to push less efficient IEMs.There’s also a plethora of other digital formats that run on the M0 Pro but I’ll just let you look up the specs. They’re a total of around 20 so it’s probable that if you have music in a digital format, the M0 Pro will play them. If you link up some wireless earbuds to the Shanling M0 Pro you can count on good compatibility plus a good amount of quality codecs to run. It runs all the major codecs like all the aptX variants, SBC, AAC plus LDAC.

When it comes to sound, first of all, let me comment on this little player’s power. I tried a bunch of full-sized headphones and IEMs with this player, and it could drive all of them (both dynamic and planar) with good speed and dynamics, especially from the balanced output.However, if you go single-ended, then you will obtain an almost indistinguishable sound signature from both models but you lose some screen real estate space on the M0 Pro plus the R2 II is the only model that has a dual microphone with a voice recording feature that might come in handy one day. I agree with HiBy and their assessment when they specifically said that their general objective in the R2 II sound signature was to obtain a warm vocal forward presentation with low sibilance, and controlled high-frequency output. That’s what they got in a nutshell.

The internal OS has a complete set of options like a 10-band equalizer plus a total of 7 digital filters so there’s plenty of sound-shaping flexibility within the built-in OS. The OS can be updated within the settings menu or through the use of Shanling’s Android software. The M1s have the same rotary knob which doubles up as the power on-and-off switch. What’s not conventional from the other Shanling DAP designs comparatively is the three buttons upfront with the screen. The 650mAh battery charges fast at under one hour and a half from around 10% to full. There’s no wireless charging available and the charging is done via the USB-C port on the bottom of the unit.

Of course, Bluetooth is also included, with a Bluetooth 5.0 module from Qualcomm Inc. that can transmit as well as receive and is equipped for signal transmission in hi-res audio. Prices and availability
