    @yotacowboy I do agree if you are new to Android DAPs (or Android in general), it can be a pain in the butt to get it right. For me the setup on the M6 Pro 21 only taken me five minutes to start playing music and another ten minutes to set everything up correctly. Being in the Android game for awhile does help with any troubleshooting.

    To make it easier to pick up and play, I just installed almost all the apps you will need from the start (exception is UAPP).

    It only took me 5 minutes to setup and I literally know nothing about Android. Just login to Google Play and download the apps. But maybe I did it wrong?

    also @YMO how is all your work going to translate to future participants when @jexby has to wipe the M6 Pro to get rid of his personal info?

    You actually don't need to wipe the M6 Pro to get rid of your personal inbox, I only do it cause it is me yo. You can also log off Google (which will not have your info on the device) and log off all log in apps. You can clean the cash if you want to make it super clean. If you wanna wipe the OS for a refresh, you can do that well. I only recommend if doing it to reupdate the firmware to 1.5 + install some of those apps again from APKPure.

    Up the loaner participant of course. Time to pee.....

    good to know thank you. I think we can all trust each other enough here not to do a full wipe. I will reset it when it comes back to me before returning it to Shanling.

    Yeah, most of the time was updating everything out of the box, firmware, etc. Installing new apps is painless and quick. But then reading in the index of my partial library into Shanling's app off the 256GB SD card took another 45 minutes. So, I'm not trying to sound like jerk, just putting it into perspective that initial use takes a little time.

    ahhh I just used Tidal.

    Everyone keep it in mind that the loaner period doesn’t start until after you have the M6 Pro setup and working. So don’t stress about getting it setup.

    I know nothing about streaming but would like to and would mainly load music directly on the DAP.

    Here's my question to people on the tour: Could you please try to drive some hard to drive iems or even some headphones, please? I would like to get a sense of how much power this player has.

    Also, how's the extension above and below? Does the dap add any peaks or roll-offs? Thanks.

    can I just add you to the tour so you can evaluate this yourself and share your findings with all of us? :)

    @E_Schaaf keep it an extra couple days so you have time to listen to it proper.
