The thought of the M8 U only occurred to me because I'm already so excited about the M5 U. Started with the operating software. And of course the sound. Here and there we see what a great sound is possible for just under 600 bucks. Then I came up with the idea of a player in the 1200-1500 bucks class based on the M5U and uncompromisingly focused solely on sound. That would be great. Imagine what that thing would sound like???
I would like to see that too definitely be a flagship level there, I agree android is bad for sound it has its impurities, but I love streaming and luckily I can use airplay from my iPhone so easily and in my tests it sounds better then ldac as ldac is colouring the sound and airplay stays pretty balanced and its a wifi vs Bluetooth…
So I am able to stream my Spotify straight to m5u with such ease.
The thing with androids is that dlna need a special app to get to work and some work around so with apple its easier due to airplay… Also nothing compares to direct usb dac mode that way its ultimately the best sound.
I keep on burning in my m5u I am at 130hours atm and feel the airiness for soundstage is still opening is not yet ready, the sound signature overall is really good love the bass and gentle trebly sparkles. Those elna silmic capacitors are very tough they need maybe more then 200h of burn in. By memory my H5 after 200h was very impressive, felt that stage better and the bass was so so physical and massive that it moved the air threw my body
