Shanling m0, Benjie S5/Agptek M20 (Not sure if obsolete by now, but I own one)

Maybe xDuoo but I heard a couple of their models have high OI

Shanling m0 has an OI of like, 0.16 Ohm. AGPTEK M20 is 0.9 Ohm

the shanling m0 looks fine, just a bit thick

It's smol af, just thick.

I hear a lot of good shit about it.

I don't own one, so I can't say.

I have an M20/S5.

Player has decent battery life if you use it at less than 30% volume.

meh, want something with an usable screen

The screen on the M20 is tiny as fuck.

It's just a monochromatic OLED.

seemsgood

Controls are touch, but don't light up

Half of the controls don't have any form of feedback.

Besides the play/pause or select button, volume up/down, power, and lock.

The battery on my M20 lasts about a week with on/off playback for a week.

I'd say, about an hour a day

Though, the Shanling M0 is supposed to have much better battery life. It'll support headphones or IEMs of up to 300 Ohm, and as low as 8 Ohm. Supports DSD, FLAC, all that funky shit, pretty sure it's got bluetooth Apt-X, and a long battery life.

It also supports up to a 256GB MicroSD

i'll be going to shanghai later this year, will probably try to snag one by then

It also can be used as a passthrough USB DAC, but people report issues with using it like that.

or just order one to my hotel if i can't find a store selling it

Maybe a firmware update is needed.

Ah

You'll probably find a few stores.

Oh, yeah, the player I use only supports 64GB MicroSD cards at the most.

only 90usd on t-mall, neat

It's got a low enough output impedance that it'll properly drive KZ ED15's, which have an impedance of 8.5 Ohm.

don't think i'll need much more than 64GB, my collection rn is just over 20

Mine is about 47GB

Mostly just MP3 192-320, and FLAC.

I did notice that large sub-folders can cause the M20 to lag the fuck out.

If, they're on the built in eMMC/flash memory.

Issue doesn't happen with my 64GB MicroSD.

Copied Deadmau5 discography to my player's internal memory, caused it to stutter for some reason.

type-c 👌

type-c is good shit

m0 battery life isn't great

it's pretty much drained after a day of use for me

🤷🏻
