SHANLING EC MINI
Desktop and Portable CD Player and DAP
The Shanling EC Mini is a compact combination of a CD player and DAP that can be used as a desktop player or, thanks to its built-in battery, as a portable player if needed. The versatile and high-performance EC Mini can also function as an USB DAC or preamplifier. In addition to bidirectional USB connection, it also offers bidirectional Bluetooth 5.0 capability with LDAC resolution, as well as the ability to read Micro SD cards of up to 2TB capacity. Alongside 3.5mm and 4.4mm headphone outputs, it offers analog RCA connection, and the popular 18650 battery with 6800mAh can provide up to 25 hours of music playback from a Micro SD card, or up to 7.5 hours from a CD.
Shanling designed the EC Mini with the highest quality CD player components. It includes a dedicated LTA8092 preamplifier chipset, dual RT6863 headphone amplifiers, KDS low phase and ultra-low noise oscillators, Panasonic and ELNA capacitors, among others. The Philips CD drive and Sanyo HD860 laser ensure accurate CD and MQA-CD reading and playback, just as Shanling's larger CD players do. It contains dual ES9219 ESS Sabre DAC chips that provide exceptional audio signal decoding at 32bit 384 kHz PCM and DSD256 resolution. It is characterized by low distortion, high signal-to-noise ratio, and dynamic range. Besides the 2.3" touchscreen built into the top, the EC Mini can also be easily controlled through Shanling's free-to-download Eddict Player application.
