Optimizing audio resolution and user experience, Shanling’s new M8 digital audio player is a must-have for high-fidelity, pocket-ready playback. To integrate seamlessly with your favorite apps and devices, the touchscreen-equipped M8 features a powerful 8-core Snapdragon 430 processor—plus Shanling’s unique AGLO technology, which correctly processes music from apps to avoid degradation from Android systems. The M8 also comes with dual AK4499EQ DACs and an XMOS XUF208 USB interface to deliver Hi-Res decoding all the way up to 32-bit, 768-kilohertz PCM and native DSD512. In a glowing review on Headfonics, contributor James Tan calls the M8’s sound “elegant, effortless, and expressive with dense and rich details.” Connect and listen wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0 with support for the latest aptX codecs, and use the interchangeable headphone sockets to fit your setup.
