SHANLING M9 PLUS
Portable Audio Player
The flagship Shanling M9 Plus DAP (digital audio player) ranks among the best. The combination of Snapdragon 665 Octa-Core CPU and the Open Android 10 platform with four independent AKM AK4499EX DAC (digital-analog converter) chips, 8GB RAM, and 256GB ROM ensures long-term use. The internal storage can be expanded up to a maximum capacity of 2TB with a Micro SD card. With Bluetooth 5.0 connection, it can both receive and transmit LDAC resolution. Via 2.4G/5G WiFi, our favorite music can be streamed through DLNA or AirPlay. The CNC machined aluminum housing features a 6”-inch 1080x2160 resolution LCD display, and inside the case is an 8350mAh battery compatible with QC3.0 fast charging, allowing for up to 18 hours of music playback through the 3.5mm single-ended connection and up to 11 hours through the 4.4mm balanced connection.
In addition to the DAC chips, two AKM AK4191 Delta-Sigma modulators are also included, highlighting AKM's next-generation sound, and the entire DAC section has its own independent XC9519 power supply chip. The combination of the MUSES 8920 J-FET operational amplifier, the Texas Instruments BUF634 buffer, and the ELNA Silmic II and Panasonic Tantalum capacitors results in a finer and warmer sound with a stable 1120mW @32Ohm output power.
