Shanling EC Mini

Shanling returns to the CD player market with its first 100% portable and battery-powered device of its kind. Its "slim" format allows it to be placed on any desk or shelf, and moved wherever you want as you wish.

Taking the philosophy of the old discman, theEC Mini is an ideal alternative to enjoy your record collection, and also, thanks to its "In vehicle" mode to integrate a playback system in your car of modern CD. With the EC Mini installed in a car, you can connect it directly to a stereo via its RCA outputs or pair it with modern car systems via Bluetooth. 

The Shanling EC Mini is much more than a CD player; Under its chassis we find an Ingenic X1000 processor, which runs dedicated HiFi systems

with a 2.33-inch touch screen on top. This brings a whole new dimension of functionality, making the EC Mini a true multifunctional device, far beyond the limitations of other CD players.

Firstly, we have an option for local playback from MicroSD card and USB drives, with the touch screen allowing full navigation through the music library directly on the device. In addition, supports high resolution files up to 32-bit /384 kHz and DSD256. In addition, thanks to the SyncLink function you can control your EC Mini directly from your phone or tablet.

Secondly, Bluetooth is added, both for reception and transmission functions. So this may be the first time you can play your CDs directly on your Bluetooth headphones on the go.

On the other hand, with the receiver function, the EC Mini will become a Hi-Fi quality Bluetooth DAC/AMP for wireless playback from your phone. And if you want to play music through a USB connection, the device can function as a classic USB DAC.

However, the EC Mini's most unique feature might be its USB output, which allows digital output directly to any standalone USB DAC, from small portable units to high-end devices. This is a very unusual feature in CD players, yet present in this very portable proposal.

The Shanling EC Mini's audio section is based on the successful M3 Ultra CD player, with a pair of ESS ES9219 DACs, backed by two Ricore RT6863 headphone amplifiers for a fully balanced audio circuit. and a 4.4mm output, in addition to the standard 3.5mm jack.
