SHANLING EA5 PLUS
Desktop DAC Integrated and Headphone Amplifier and Streamer
The Shanling EA5 Plus is an extremely versatile streamer, DAC, amplifier, and headphone amplifier all in one. This new EA5 model delivers 2x100W @ 4Ohm power, thanks to the Danish ICEpower 100AS2 Class D speaker amplifier. The combination of a closed Android platform, the AKM AK4493EQ DAC, a 6.35mm headphone output, and a separate power supply design offers an ideal all-in-one solution for a wide range of Hi-Fi systems, even with 8x MQA decoding. It provides network playback with WiFi 2.4/5G connectivity and an RJ45 Ethernet input, supporting DLNA/UPnP and AirPlay transmission protocols, allowing access to files stored on network devices, whether it's a computer, NAS, or smartphone via the free Eddict Player application. Besides WiFi connectivity, the EA5 Plus is also equipped with a bidirectional Bluetooth chip, so it can function as both a transmitter and a receiver, making music streaming from a smartphone extremely easy, with high-resolution LDAC, LHDC, and aptX HD codecs. On the top of the elegant black aluminum housing, there is a 4.7" IPS display, and on the side, there is a MicroSD card reader (expandable up to 2TB).
