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 in one. This new EA5 model delivers 2x100W @ 4Ohm of power, thanks to the Danish ICEpower 100AS2 Class D speaker amplifier. The combination of the closed Android platform, the AKM AK4493EQ DAC, the 6.35mm headphone output and the separate power supply design offers an ideal all-in-one solution for a wide range of Hi-Fi systems, with up to 8x MQA decoding. For network playback, it provides 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 on a computer, NAS or smartphone, via the free Eddict Player app. In addition to WiFi connectivity, the EA5 Plus is also equipped with a bidirectional Bluetooth chip, so it can function as both transmitter and receiver, making music streaming from a smartphone extremely simple, with high-resolution LDAC, LHDC and aptX HD codecs. On the top of the elegant black aluminum chassis there is a 4.7" IPS display, and on the side panel a MicroSD card reader (expandable up to 2TB).
