Don't tell my bank manager this, but on Monday, I will be buying a FiiO M17, digital audio player extroadinaire.

[sezciucraducristian]

Once again another awesome review! Great DAPS! Happy Easter, Sandu!

I wanted this but it can only do Tidal Online. Too bad. I went with the m23 which I got for $200 more than the Shanling m5 ultra. If the third party apps are not limited I would have picked the Shanling m5 ultra due to the price difference.

[Laleeee]

Hi, I didn't listen to you and bought the M23. I really hate its weightless bass and dry timbre. I will send it back. Do you think the Shanling m6 ultra would be a better choice if I want punchy bass?

[Flavius]

If not FIIO than... Shanling! Am I just being simplistic, or those are the best companies in the market right now for price/performance ratio? And have different sound implementation, so you can easily choose your audio faith. More neutral and detailed, or more musical and colourful. Glad those two exist on the market.

What do you think about the shanling m1 plus es9069q

[mariusz_kozlowski]

In your opinion - what's the best DAP in the same price range? Mainly for rock and jazz music. I thought about shanling m6 ultra but m5 seems to be good (and cheaper) option...

[aceofspades]

If you ask me which beer I’ll take my response is simply yes. You want an ipa then yes. You want to drink Czech pilsners then yes. A German style wheat beer then definitely yes .

If it doesn't support Qobuz then it won't work for me, too bad.

[robmaxwell]

I want one! Very descriptive review - I like your style!

[christianhaas]

I'd be interested in the marketshare of DAPs in 2024. I can understand their performance plus compared to Smartphones however for me as an audiophile, on the go I do not care about the last HiRes bytes extra...

[miaobinhuang]

m just wondering if M5 Ultra is that good and I truly believe it is that good why there's only very very very extremely few reviewers on this product unlike Hiby R4 or even Cayin N3Pro I just dont get it.

[ОлегНикифоров-пп]

Hi bro! Is the M5Ultra suitable for listening to metal and how does it compare to the M6Ultra? Which player is better and preferable for metal? Hugging, good luck!

[ОлегНикифоров-пп]

Advise which player is better suited for metal in the price range up to $700? Thank bro!

[markhogquist]

I've read a few comments that claim this unit sounds quite similar to the M8. The resolution and transparency of the M8 isn't the best at this, but it's not bad either. How would you compare this dap with the M8? Also, is it as warm and rolled off in the treble as the M6 Ultra?

[SomeOneTupac]

Y don’t u organize your videos into playlist ? It’s hard to look for a specific subject

[victormedrano]

Which one do you recommend more for metal listening, this or the Onix Overture? Saludos

[nalinpawar]

How would this compare with something like Mojo 2 for HD600?

[Gadgetibles]

Please review the ibasso 180 so we cam compare since they around the same price budget

[miaobinhuang]

Non android based dap are they more lasting than android based dap?
