INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW SHANLING M6 ULTRA, AN ADDITION TO THE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL M6 SERIES LINE-UP OF DIGITAL AUDIO PLAYERS

Established in 1988, Shanling specialises in R&D and sales of high-quality portable audio products. With more than three decades of experience in the audio field, Shanling has developed dozens of portable digital audio players (DAPs), earphones, USB DACs, etc. Shanling is well renowned for creating DAPs that have served as industry standards. The design and aesthetics are a tribute to the engineers at Shanling, who bring us products that go through rigorous research and development before being released to consumers. Shanling has produced some of the most dependable DAPs in their M6 series line-ups like the M6, M6(21), and M6 PRO. Shanling has broken the barriers and has come up with some of the latest techs in the M6 Ultra. The M6 Ultra combines the smooth and fast operation you would expect from a modern smartphone with audiophile capabilities. With all-new DAC chips and speedier operability with Android 10, M6 Ultra builds on the lineage of the M6 series line-up of DAPs. The Shanling M6 Ultra debuts; as the company's new Digital Audio Player with optimum performance and great functionality. The audio reproduction on the M6 Ultra is phenomenal. It is linear throughout and provides a full-range experience. The bass, the mids and the treble are well-rounded on the M6 Ultra, which will do justice to any recording you throw at it. The new M6 Ultra is a product built on the exceptional performance of previous generations and the result of the relentless pursuit of technological innovation, with years of tuning and design experience!

SHANLING M6 ULTRA IS HI-RES CERTIFIED, FEATURES QUAD AKM DAC CHIPS WITH 16X MQA SUPPORT FOR EXCEPTIONAL SONIC PERFORMANCE

Shanling M6 Ultra is a Hi-Res certified by the Japanese Audio Society. It is Hi-Res Audio, Hi-Res Wireless Audio certified. The M6 Ultra is the first portable player from Shanling, adapting the newest generation AKM DACs, utilising quad AK4493SEQ for a unique Quad-DACs design. The DAC chips that DAP houses are its most crucial component. A team of engineers at Shanling developed the architecture of the M6 Ultra to support high-performance AKM DAC chips with this design aspect in mind. The AK4493SEQ is a stereo premium 32-bit DAC with VELVET SOUND™ technology, achieving low distortion characteristics and a wide dynamic range. The AK4493SEQ integrates a switched capacitor filter "OSR Doubler", making it capable of supporting wide range signals and achieving low out-of-band noise while releasing low power consumption. The M6 Ultra hosts Quad AK4493SEQ DAC chips that support DSD512 (Direct Stream Digital), PCM 768kHz/32Bit Hi-Res formats. The M6 Ultra supports 16x MQA unfolding, enabling master quality sound directly from your device. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning audio technology that allows you to stream the original master recording. Experience music like never before with the latest AKM DAC chips and 16X MQA support. The Shanling M6 Ultra promises to provide clean and organic audio reproduction.

FEATURES BRAND-NEW HIGH-VOLTAGE LINEARIN OPAMPS AND IMPROVED OP+BUF ARCHITECTURE FUSED WITH TI-OPA1612 THAT Provide DISTORTION-FREE LINEAR POWER OUTPUT

An audio amplifier maintains the detail of the smaller signal while boosting the loudness to a practical level known as linearity. The output signal is a more accurate reflection of the input signal the higher the linearity of the amplifier. Taking this design aspect into consideration a team of engineers at Shanling developed the M6 Ultra to accommodate Quad OPA1612 and Dual OPA2211 in its circuitry. The DAC section of M6 Ultra was designed with four TI-OPA1612, splitting the balanced audio signal between all four DACs achieving a completely independent balanced output. Two TI-OPA2211 are incorporated in its circuitry for low noise and high bandwidth performance. The circuitry is surrounded by top-quality Panasonic tantalum-polymer capacitors, two for each of the four DACs. The M6 Ultra adapts a brand-new high-voltage Linearin LTA8092 opamps, partnered with a well-proven BUF634A, combined with the AKM DACs for a slightly warmer and relaxed sound following in tracks of the M8 and the original lineup of AKM-based M6 & M6 Pro. TI-BUF634A High-Speed Buffer Positioned at the driver stage provides proper current output creating the warmer and thicker sound of the M6 Ultra. Two Japanese KDS active crystal oscillators, 3rd Generation FPGA, and improved Shanling's algorithm provide better accuracy, reduced jitter and enhanced performance of the digital signal transmission. High-quality 100 F WE capacitors are used for refined sound and precise soundstage. The M6 Ultra hosts a balanced amplification circuitry, capable of continuous high power output, with plentiful energy reserves for all music genres. The tone is clean and precise for the most dynamic compositions on the M6 Ultra. A newly designed amplifier allows M6 Ultra to reach higher power outputs than older AKM-based M6 models. The M6 Ultra offers better performance with demanding full-size headphones. It provides an output power of 240mW@32 Ohms Single-Ended 3.5mm and 720mW @32 Ohms Balanced 4.4mm.

QUALCOMM CHIPSETS FUSED WITH AGLO OUTPUT TECHNOLOGY, TWO-WAY BLUETOOTH 5.0 RENDERING, AND WIFI SUPPORT PRESENT OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE WIRELESSLY

Shanling M6 Ultra with Qualcomm chipsets under its belly has immaculate and precise processing power. With the introduction of wireless technology, the world has gone surreal for streaming music without having to deal with the annoyance of wires. The engineers at Shanling created the M6 Ultra with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities so that you can stream music wirelessly. With Bluetooth 5.0 support, M6 Ultra is a simple Bluetooth-enabled DAP. You can now stream music directly from M6 Ultra. The M6 Ultra is compatible with Bluetooth speakers and headphones, thanks to the two-way Bluetooth configuration. It supports Bluetooth codecs like LDAC, aptX HD, aptX, and SBC for transmission and LDAC & SBC for Bluetooth reception. In addition, a Qualcomm WCN3980 processor is housed in the Shanling M6 Ultra's seamless wireless module. The MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology and 2.4G and 5G Wi-Fi compatibility ensure a quick and reliable internet connection. The audio in the M6 Ultra will be processed correctly and at its highest quality thanks to the AGLO technology, which ensures that the Android system operates at Hi-Fi levels. The Shanling M6 Ultra also supports NAS, DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) and Airplay streaming. It fits nicely into the home Hi-Fi system.

DELIVERING 13.5 HOURS OF PLAYTIME WITH FAST CHARGING CAPABILITIES AND EMBEDDED WITH A 5" TOUCH SCREEN LCD DISPLAY

The most important aspect of portable digital audio players is the way they sound, but you also need enough battery power for an uninterrupted listening experience. This design concept is what the engineers at Shanling paid attention to in engineering M6 Ultra to accommodate a 5650mAh battery yielding over 13.5 hours of playtime (single-ended) and 9 hours (balanced). The M6 Ultra delivers a whopping 58.5 hours of playtime when operated in Bluetooth transmitter mode. However, the play time varies with different resolutions, volumes and headphone/IEM loads. The M6 Ultra supports Qualcomm QC3.0 18W quick charge protocol which charges the device rapidly when the player is low on juice. What about getting a DAP with a touchscreen and high-resolution display? You have nowhere to look for as the M6 Ultra features a 5-inch LCD panel from a Sharp full-screen colourful display, with a thin bezel, floating screen, and touch panel providing a better user experience. The screen resolution is 1920*1080 pixels with 441 PPI. On the top of the screen, there's a battery indicator that reveals the M6 Ultra's battery status at a glimpse.

EQUIPPED WITH A HIGH-SPEED USB-C CONNECTOR WITH 2 OUTPUTS, ANDROID 10 OS, AND SNAPDRAGON 665 CHIP FOR LIQUID-SMOOTH OPERABILITY

The M6 Ultra has a variety of inputs and outputs for connections with high-speed USB-C transmission. The M6 Ultra has two output ports: 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced. Android 10 serves as the operating system for the M6 Ultra. Additionally, it offers open Android OS capabilities. Due to the Snapdragon 665's quick system reaction and smoothness, the M6 Ultra is at the forefront of HiFi players. You can install almost any software or APK to access online streaming. The M6 Ultra's Snapdragon 665 CPU, which is significantly quicker, offers lag-free performance. Even high-resolution media will play back smoothly. The M6 Ultra runs on the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 665, a modern CPU providing more than enough processing power for applications and assuring swift system performance. The M6 Ultra has a built-in RAM (LPDDR4X) of 4GB and internal storage of 64 GB.
