Experience Hi-Fi Excellence Experience Hi-Fi excellence with the M8T, a true flagship-level portable player that combines cutting-edge technology with the art of tube sound. Featuring two JAN6418 tubes, dual AKM AK4499EX DACs, and two AK4191 modulators, the M8T offers extraordinary sound performance, blending sophisticated audio engineering with a refined design that pays homage to Shanling's legacy. The result is a portable player that delivers exceptional clarity, precision, and depth across all audio frequencies. Flagship-Level Audio Technology The M8T is equipped with dual JAN6418 tubes, marking the first time Shanling has integrated low-voltage, power-efficient tubes into a portable player. These tubes are suspended in a custom-designed anti-shock structure, which eliminates microphonics while adding a warm, captivating charm to the sound. In addition, the dual AKM AK4499EX DACs paired with AK4191 modulators provide superior sound clarity, ensuring that audio is reproduced with remarkable cleanliness and precision. The M8T also offers three distinct output modes: Transistor, Triode, and Ultra-Linear, allowing users to tailor the sound to their personal preferences. With a high-power output of up to 1125mW at 32Ω, the M8T can effortlessly drive even the most demanding headphones, delivering a rich, transparent listening experience. Advanced Sound Engineering Shanling has perfected the audio engineering behind the M8T, with an in-house developed I/V stage featuring ADI ADA45253 high-speed, low-noise amplifiers optimized for exceptional performance. The low-pass filter, using OPA1612 combined with Panasonic capacitors and thin-film resistors, minimizes distortion and ensures smooth I/V conversion. A custom FPGA solution and upgraded Japanese KDs active crystal oscillators at 90.3168MHz and 98.304MHz offer incredibly accurate sound reproduction, delivering unparalleled clarity and depth across the frequency spectrum. Android 13 - Open System for Hi-Fi Apps The M8T runs on the newly upgraded Android 13 system, ensuring long-term compatibility with future updates and a wide range of music apps. Shanling’s Android Global Lossless Output (AGLO) ensures that all audio data is processed in a Hi-Fi quality format, maintaining the integrity of the sound. For added convenience, the M8T supports DLNA and AirPlay, allowing users to stream music wirelessly, while also offering remote control via the Eddict Player app on Android and iOS devices. Additionally, the M8T includes over-the-air updates, ensuring that the player remains up-to-date with the latest features and improvements. Long-Lasting Power and Fast Charging The M8T is powered by a massive 8350 mAh battery, providing up to 15.5 hours of playback on single-ended outputs and 13 hours on balanced outputs. It also supports Quick Charge 3.0 and Power Delivery 2.0, offering 18W fast charging for rapid power-up, so you can spend more time listening to your music and less time waiting for a charge. The player features a full-power amplifier with three levels of gain and precise volume control, making it ideal for pairing with a wide range of headphones, from ultra-sensitive IEMs to full-sized planar headphones. Ultra-High-Resolution Playback & Bluetooth Connectivity The M8T supports local playback of high-resolution audio files, including PCM up to 768kHz and DSD1024, ensuring you get the most out of your Hi-Res collection. The XMOS XU316 USB input allows the M8T to function as a Hi-Fi USB DAC when connected to a computer, with support for PCM 768kHz and DSD512. Additionally, the M8T can be used as a Bluetooth DAC/AMP with LDAC, SBC, and AAC support, enabling high-quality wireless audio transmission for all your Bluetooth devices. Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 CPU The M8T is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor with an Adreno 610 GPU, ensuring smooth and lag-free performance for all applications and streaming services. This powerful hardware, combined with an optimized Android 13 system, guarantees a seamless user experience, whether you're listening to music, browsing apps, or enjoying video content. The Qualcomm WCN3980 wireless module ensures fast and stable internet connections, supporting both 2.4G and 5G Wi-Fi and MIMO technology. Sleek, Heritage-Inspired Design Drawing inspiration from Shanling’s heritage models, the M8T features a stunning design carved from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, with an intricate wave pattern on the sides. The sleek, deep-black body not only looks elegant and modern but is also durable and ergonomic. The M8T combines Shanling’s long-standing commitment to design excellence with cutting-edge technology, creating a beautiful and high-performance portable player that feels as premium as it sounds.
