SHANLING M5 ULTRA 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
Portable Audio Player
Shanling celebrates its 10th anniversary of the M5 Ultra portable player with the new M5 Ultra 10th Anniversary Edition. Although it retains much of its former high-tech construction, it also includes a few exclusive collector's components to the delight of audiophiles. The AKM AK4499EX and AK4191EQ chips, along with the XMOS XU316 USB interface, enable the same high-quality playback, with the same I/V conversion stage as the M9 Plus. The TPA6120A2 amplifier can deliver up to 1070 mW of power at 32 ohms, with up to 10.5 hours of battery life. The two-way Bluetooth 5.2 supports LDAC, while dual-band WiFi allows for DLNA and AirPlay, seamlessly integrating with NAS storage devices and TIDAL. Running on Shanling's closed MTouch system, it can operate as a USB DAC and Bluetooth receiver through Spotify, Qobuz, and others. It features an aluminum casing, a 4.7” IPS touchscreen, dual-direction USB-C port, MicroSD slot (up to 2 TB), a 3.5mm jack, and a 4.4mm balanced audio output. Compared to the basic M5 Ultra, this special edition boasts vintage-sounding Panasonic and Elna Silmic II capacitors, improved tuning, warmer tones, high-purity internal wires, a gold-plated control knob, updated system graphics, and an engraved premium chassis.
