SHANLING M5 ULTRA 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
Portable Audio Player
Shanling is celebrating the 10th anniversary of their portable player, the M5 Ultra, with the new M5 Ultra 10th Anniversary Edition. While it retains much of the previous high-tech construction, it is enhanced with some exclusive collectible components for the pleasure of audiophiles. The AKM AK4499EX and AK4191EQ chips and the XMOS XU316 USB interface allow the same high-quality playback with the same I/V conversion stage as the M9 Plus. The TPA6120A2 amplifier delivers up to 1070 mW power at 32 ohms, with up to 10.5 hours of battery life. The bidirectional Bluetooth 5.2 supports LDAC, while the dual-band WiFi enables DLNA and AirPlay, seamlessly integrated with NAS storage devices and TIDAL. Running on Shanling's closed MTouch system, it can operate as a USB DAC and Bluetooth receiver for Spotify, Qobuz, and others. It features an aluminum casing, 4.7” IPS touch screen, bidirectional USB-C port, MicroSD slot (up to 2 TB), a 3.5mm jack, and 4.4mm balanced audio output. Compared to the standard M5 Ultra, this special edition features vintage-sounding Panasonic and Elna Silmic II capacitors, improved tuning, warmer tones, high-purity internal wiring, a gold-plated control knob, updated system graphics, and an engraved premium chassis.
