Returned for Warranty repair within three weeks

Item received and after three weeks of use, device would not power up. No charge and multiple cables used. Returned to China which is currently in break for another week. Hopefully replacement is better

Mixed feelings about this DAP

My main goal when buying a DAP was for it to be able to provide enough juice for just about any pair of not-too-power-hungry headphones. I think Shanling’s entry level player did that just fine, and featured a smooth UI and overall good sound quality (using Spotify at “highest quality”). However (listening via Moondrop Blessing 2s), I found that vocals could get more sibilant than I was used to, and EQ seemed to have no impact on the tuning. But I think my biggest problem with this was durability, even with the case (sold separately), as after one small drop the top panel partially shattered but thankfully the internals were safe. Overall, I think this is a good product, though sometimes a bit difficult to listen to with vocal sibilance (from my singular perspective) and you’d have to try your best not to drop it.

Really good

This is a very nice player, sound is amazing and android apps work very good. I use amazon music and works fine and fluid in ultra HD. There's also an option to deactivate android and use Shanling player but this player is very limited in options, like import playlists or browse by album artists. Accessories include just a simple usb charging cable and some screen glass protectors. No case included, it needs one as the player is a bit thick and heavy. Lisoul customer service was very helpful, thank you!
