Shanling - M8

The system of Shanling M8 is based on the Android Global Lossless Output (AGLO) technology. This allows M8 to process music from all the apps in its highest resolution without any kind of audio loss or degradation. Shanling M8 features an advanced XMOS USB interface turning M8 into a true Hi-Fi USB DAC for high-resolution music playback of up to 32 bit/ 786 kHz and native DSD512.

M8 has a prime mode which allows you to quickly turn M8 into a simplified music player. You can even enjoy Hi-Res audio as M8 comes with Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Wireless Audio Certification from Japan Audio Society.

M8 supports a range of connection standards while having cleaner design and optimized internal design, all thanks to the indigenously developed all-new interchangeable headphone sockets. You already get four unique socket options with Shanling M8 while you more can be added in the future.

The real power of Shanling M8 is at its analog circuit which has pro performance AKM flagship DAC along with Shanling's very own I/V conversion stage and totally balanced amplifier based on Shanling's OP+BUF amplifier architecture. This not only allows M8 to offer reference class performance but also aids M8 in providing Shanling's traditional smooth and warm sound.

The system of Shanling M8 is highly reliable as it comes with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 430 octa-core processor along with 4GB RAM and 64 GB worth of memory storage. It also features Qualcomm's Bluetooth 5.0 chipset which not only provides seamless connectivity but also ensures low latency. It supports a wide range of Bluetooth codecs including LDAC, LHDC, aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD, AAC and SBC for best quality wireless sound.

Enjoy the hi-end performance and reduced noise with SIGE bipolar processed high-speed voltage feedback amplifiers. At the core, M8 has a thin film resistor with 0.01% accuracy and stability. The Tantalum polymer capacitors from Panasonic provide better accuracy, low sensitivity to temperature changes and durability.

Shanling M8 provides constant phase in all frequencies with low pass filtering and with operational Ti-QPA1662 and JFET amplifier ADI-ADA4610-2 you get ultra-low distortion and high current output. The high-speed buffer Ti-BUF634A facilitates current output. Thanks to two Japanese KDS active crystal oscillators and the all-new Shanling algorithm, M8 delivers better accuracy and performance even on Hi-Res music files.

From ultra-sensitive earphones to most demanding audiophile headphones, Shanling M8 supports a wide range of headphones and comes with three gain settings. The body of Shanling M8 is carved out of a single block of aviation-grade aluminium making it highly durable.
