SHANLING M5 DAP $499 REVIEW
September 7, 2016 Comments Off on SHANLING M5 DAP $499 REVIEW
“THe M5 outperforms the M3’s treble presentation in so many ways. Whilst not being the last word in natural decay, the M5 lower treble is far less sibilant and peaky with a much smoother and less uneven treble presentation. I always though the M3 could get a touch too peaky, but the M5 seems to have a more refined approach with excellent detail and articulation. It is not as smooth sounding or warm as the Alien, it does have a sharper edge to its attack but it easily outperforms the even sharper sounding Cayin N5 and the flatter sounding Opus#1 and definitely more spacious sounding than the old M3.”
