DAC Chip
You may not even realise it, but most of us use a digital-to-analogue converter (commonly known as a DAC) daily. Built into your computers, tablets and smartphones, a DAC is fundamental to unlocking the convenience of digital music. Any device that acts as a digital sound source will need a DAC to convert digital audio to analog. A DAC converts the digital information stored in “0s and 1s” into an analog signal that's passed to speakers or headphones and ultimately our ear. In short, DACs play a large part in making digital music hearable. 

While this technical process is undoubtedly impressive, the DAC embedded into your smartphones or laptops is nowhere good enough to listen to your favourite music recordings in high quality. So, if you want to listen to music in high quality, an external DAC is essential to allow headphones or speakers to perform at their potential. An external DAC, first and foremost, will improve audio quality dramatically.
Pair with Laptop via USB

A majority of people use a laptop as the primary source device to listen to music or watch movies. Since the laptop is an essential part of the audio chain there are headphones and devices designed to work a laptop or computer system flawlessly. With the availability of USB connectivity, it becomes easier to pair various devices like an Amp, DAC or even headphones without worrying about drivers or any additional piece of software.

DAC & Amps that have volume controls make its operation incredibly simple; turn up the volume on your smartphone or your source devices and then change the volume on DAC & Amps to the desired level.


This design feature allows you to have complete control over the desired volume according to your listening preferences.

FEATURES NORATEL TOROIDAL HIGH-PERFORMANCE TRANSFORMER FROM NORWAY FUSED WITH DUAL INDEPENDENT POWER SUPPLY AND OPA1611 FOR AMPLIFICATION

Shanling EM7 features Noratel toroidal high-performance transformer from Norway. It is a toroidal transformer that has higher inrush currents when compared to conventional EI transformers. EI-transformer is a traditional transformer. Toroidal transformers are smaller and lighter than conventional EI transformers. The toroidal transformer has low magnetic stray fields emission levels, high efficiency / low losses, and easy assembly making them ideal in audio/video systems. The Noratel Toroidal Transformer High-Performance Transformer from Norway, along with two high-current voltage regulator chips and four premium 6800 uF/35V capacitors, was incorporated by Shanling engineers while keeping these ideas in mind. These components provide clean power for the DAC and balanced amplifier of the EM7. The Shanling EM7 has Dual Independent Power to prevent unwanted interferences between the Streamer and the High-End Audio circuit. The power supply is separated, with the Android component using a separate switching power source. The electrical components in the circuitry don't make any noise thanks to this power supply architecture. The result is super clean and organic power output. Shanling has an In-House Developed I/V Stage, a highly optimised I/V conversion stage based on TI OPA1611, helping the ES9038Pro to reach its ultimate performance, retaining all the energy and sound characteristics of this DAC.

An almost perfect All in One Player

Either Tidal or Spotify has been my primary source for music listening through headphones. I was looking for a convenient desktop solution that could enable me to stream music through these apps. I tried with standalone amplifier/DAC combinations. But the problem with this is that the sound quality varies with the source to which they are connected. Same song played through Tidal sounded different when played from my Windows laptop and Android smartphone when connected using the same USB cable.

While casually browsing through headphone zone, came across the Shanling EM7. This immediately caught my attention with its amazing tilt screen, multiple connectivity options and a very impressive technical specification. This has all that I needed. A streamer, DAC and a powerful balanced headphone amplifier. I was trying to know more about this product, but I could hardly find any proper reviews online. The one and only review in YouTube was complaining about the high price of the product. There are no detailed reviews about the sound quality. I still took the risk and ordered it. Well, I am glad I did.

The quality of the product is mind-blowing. Everything about it look and feel sold. The sound is powerful, smooth and dynamic with great details. Listening to this only for few hours now but I am already loving it. I would strongly recommend this for anyone who is looking for a desktop streaming solution for headphone listening. Few other less priced options like Fiio R7 might offer similar features but can’t match the class and quality of EM7.

What I liked the most?
1) Solid build quality. Look and feel like a perfect flagship product.
2) The tilt screen is attractive and very easy to use rather than a flat. one.
3) Powerful, smooth, dynamic and detailed sound.
4) All in one. No need for any connecting cables for basic headphone listening using streaming app. Which means my table is clutter free.
5) Love the volume knob with gold aesthetic. Typical Shanling house design.
6) Multiple headphone output connection options available.
7) Plenty of input and output options on the rear side to connect external devices.
8) Support for Tidal, Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music.
9) Four gain options. High, Medium, Low and Turbo.
10) Easy to use user interface.

What is missing or could be better to have?
1) A detailed user manual. Only a quick start guide is available even in the Shanling website.
2) Open Android support. The product has a customized closed Android with limited streaming apps support.
3) Complete mobile app support. Shanling's smartphone app Eddict Player can be used to control the device only while playing the local files. Can't be used when playing through streaming apps.
4) A remote control.

Thanks a lot for your detailed and genuine feedback, we're glad that you have such positive thoughts about the product and we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well. It'll also help our fellow customers to make the right choice!
