SHANLING EA5 PLUS
Desktop DAC with Integrated Headphone Amplifier and Streamer
The Shanling EA5 Plus is an incredibly versatile streamer, DAC, amplifier, and headphone amplifier 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, AKM AK4493EQ DAC, 6.35mm headphone output, and 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 features 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. In addition to the WiFi connection, the EA5 Plus also comes with a bi-directional Bluetooth chip, allowing it to function as both a transmitter and receiver, making music streaming from a smartphone extremely simple, with high-resolution LDAC, LHDC, and aptX HD codecs. An elegant black aluminum housing features a 4.7" IPS display on the top, and a MicroSD card reader on the side (expandable up to 2TB).
