network.
2.Switch the M15S to the AirPlay mode.
3.On the drop-down menu of the iOS device, choose the M15S as the playing
device. So the M15S can receive audio signals from the iOS device.
2. How to access the storage/SD card after connecting the M15S to a
computer?
For Windows computers, it is driver-free. After connecting the M15S to the
computer by the included USB cable, the driver will be automatically installed.

its battery will neither be charged nor powered, effectively increasing battery
life.
How to exit Desktop mode?
You could turn off the Desktop mode from system setting-General-Desktop
mode.
Introduction to system settings menu
Here is the system settings menu of the M15S
1.WiFi
The M15S supports a WiFi connection of 2.4/5G dual-band for music
resources access. Here are the steps to connect the M15S to a new WiFi
device.

2) Turn it on. The M15S will automatically search for and list available WiFi
devices nearby.
3) Tap the intended WiFi device and connect them.

2.Bluetooth
The M15S supports lots of Bluetooth codecs for both transmission and
reception, allowing for rich wireless connections.
Bluetooth transmitter instructions
When being a Bluetooth transmitter connecting to new Bluetooth devices
(such as Bluetooth headphones, Bluetooth speakers), the M15S needs to pair
with the Bluetooth device first. Here are the steps.
1. Go to the Settings->Bluetooth menu to turn on the Bluetooth function.
2.Make the Bluetooth receiving device, such as Bluetooth earphones, enter
the pairing state. (Please refer to the user manual of the Bluetooth receiving
device about how to enter pairing state.)
3.Go to the Bluetooth device list of the M15S->Pair new device to complete the
connection.
4.Tap the intended device to start the connection. Successfully connected
devices will be displayed on the list of Available media devices with an "Active"
prompt.

Before connecting to a Bluetooth device, you can select the Bluetooth codec
you like in the M15S. Here are the steps.
1) Go to the Settings->Audio menu.
2) Tap Wireless playback quality-> choose the intended Bluetooth codec.

Note：

When the Bluetooth is enabled, the M15S will preferentially connect to the
last-connected available Bluetooth devices.
Bluetooth Receiving mode

1. When switching to the Bluetooth Receiving mode for the first time, the M15S
will automatically enter the pairing state. The next time it enters Bluetooth
Receiving mode, it will reconnect to the last connected device automatically.
2. Go to the Bluetooth transmitting list of the mobile phone, and tap the M15S

-Previous/Next track: Short press the Previous/Next track button.
3.Audio

3.5Output selection
PO (Power output), generally used when connecting to earphones and
speakers
LO (Line out), generally used when connecting to power amplifiers
SPDIF (Coaxial out), generally used when connecting to DACs
Select 4.4Output mode
BAL.PO and BAL.LO available

SPDIF out
(it only needs to be set in this way when the coaxial output is used)
D2P mode: when playing PCM signals, it will output raw PCM signals; when
playing DSD signals, it will first convert DSD to PCM and output PCM signals.
DoP mode: PCM will be output as PCM signals while DSD will be output as
raw DSD signals.
Notes:
Select DoP first. For some devices that are not supportive of DoP, please
select D2P.

Gain
There are 4 levels, Over-ear headphone mode, High, Medium and Low,
corresponding to 4 levels of output voltages. You can select different Gains
according to the earphones used.
When the M15S is connected to fast charging adapter, the enhanced Ultra
high mode could be enabled.

Lowpass filters mode

There are 7 different filters built in the M15S for your preference.
Filters are the sound effects born with the chip, which only has slight
adjustments for the sound. Here are some introductions to some filters. These
are only for reference since actual listening also has something to do with the
matched device.
1) fast roll-off,linear phase filter: Most Common filter with clean suppression
and high rejection, best for music with high transients. Provides crisp clean
highs
2) slow roll-off,linear phase filter: coherent and clear sounds, positioned near
the middle. It is suitable for classical music.
3) fast roll-off, minimum phase filter: Minimal Pre- Ringing, preferred for
Imaging and soundstage. No aliasing in frequency domain. Stronger bass than
Linear Phase,clean highs
4) slow roll-off, minimum phase filter: Non-Symetrical filter designed to
minimize pre-ringing. Strong punchy bass with good transient attacks
5) apodizing fast roll-off,linear phase filter: Version of Linear phase fast roll-off
filter optimized to improve pre-ringing.
6) hybrid fast roll-off, minimum phase filter: Combination of Linear-phase and
Minimum-phase. Fast transient attack, strong punchy bass, crisphighs.
7) brickwall filter: On of the earliest designs, intended for highest suppression
possible,with high delay and pre-ringing

Bluetooth Audio Encoder

The Bluetooth transmission takes the highest codec by default. You can
choose the highest codec supported for the Bluetooth connection by this
option.
Balance
If there is any imbalance between the left and right channels when playing
music, you can adjust the channel balance here. It has up to 10 levels
available.
All To DSD
When the All To DSD function is turned on, the PCM signals will be converted
to DSD for output with sound quality further improved.
[Principle]All To DSD is mainly about switching digital signals from PCM to
DSD format. So when making digital-to-analog conversion, it can use DSD
format, enriching music styles with clearer and natural sound quality. In
addition, since the lowest format of the DSD is DSD64, i.e. 4 times of the
44.1k/16bit (just looking at the data size), the All To DSD function is
upsampling the 44.1k/16bit audio signals. Third-party apps also support All To
DSD.
[Notes] When the All To DSD function is turned on, the CPU will consume more
power, which will shorten the play time of the M15S with obvious heating on
the body.
During the process of using, if you notice that the total battery life is much
shorter than that written on the specification table on our website, please
check if the All To DSD function is turning on. It is suggested to turn off the All
To DSD function and follow the provided test conditions to check the battery
life of the M15S again.

Adjustable volume at LO
When it is turned on, the volume will be adjustable in LO mode. If it is turned off,
the volume will be fixed as maximum.

Second harmonic regulation

The Second Harmonic regulation could imitate the special distortion in Tube
Headphone Amplifier and add the Second Harmonic manually. Just like the
harmony in music. This option will work when the volume level is high enough.
So it is recommended to enable this option when you are using the over-ear
headphone with a volume level higher than 70 in the player, you will hear the
difference.
4.Display

The display settings consist of Sample rate display, Dark theme, Brightness
level, Indicator light control, Night light, Wallpaper, Screen timeout, Font size,
Display size, Screen saver and lock screen display. The following are detailed
descriptions of some common items.

Sample rate display

inactivity. The device will enter low power consumption mode after 10 minutes
of sleeping. Short press the Power/Lockscreen button to wake it up.
Night light
The color of the display screen will be adjusted in amber under Night light
mode. You could enable the Night light mode at a custom time , or from sunset
