UPDATED ON: 2023-03-07 ► added PCM to DSD real-time conversion After a year of extensive testing i find out that [Shanling M6] has some flaws, which won’t fit my requirements. It is an excellent 2-way DAC DAP in terms of sound quality. All my claims have purely ergonomic nature: Dim display, big form factor [at least from my point of view], weak battery life. These factors forced me to look at [Ibasso DX240] player.

[Previously] i already wrote about Chinese audio manufacturers and their quality products. Till today i used quad driver FiiO FA7 earphones powered by my trusty cameraphone [Nokia PureView 808] . After some not so long considerations i’ve decided to try out something new with bigger puch and almost randomy selected [Shanling M6] DAP paired with [FiiO FA9] 6-driver IEMs. I know that using Nokia 808 was quite limiting factor for quad driver earphones like FiiO FA7.
