Shanling EH3, Multifunctional DAC/Amplifier

The Shanling EH3 is Shanling's new multifunctional DAC/Amp, in an exquisite solution to get the most out of your headphones.

It offers a wide range of digital inputs, including wireless streaming via DLNA/AirPlay and Bluetooth, along with RCA and XLR outputs, making it a truly versatile DAC for any HiFi setup. In addition, thanks to the analog input, the EH3 can also serve as a top-quality headphone amplifier to pre-amplify your vinyl equipment, for example.

Inside, there is an eight-channel ES9029PRO and the latest processors on the market. Its advanced components give rise to an output power of 5300mW at 32 Ohms

With this, and if you are looking for a first-class solution, this Shanling EH3 will reach the highest levels of quality and sharpness.

The ESS "master" DAC and premium components

This Shanling EH3 adapts the latest generation of ESS DAC, a special 8-channel solution developed by the firm's expert audio engineers. All this with the aim of achieving the most realistic and natural presentation, combined with highly precise and detailed sound quality.

Featuring a fully balanced four-way design, powered by Shanling's proven OP+BUF topology. The EH3 combines the OPA1612 with discrete transistors and the additional support of 8 units of BD139 and BD140 power transistors, to increase stability and deliver higher output power.

On the other hand, the highly optimized I/V conversion stage based on TI OPA1611 helps the ES9029Pro reach its maximum performance, preserving all the energy and sonic characteristics of this DAC.

In addition, the improved 90.3168 MHz Japanese KDS active crystal oscillators, along with the improved 4th generation Shanling algorithm, also provide higher accuracy and improved performance when decoding PCM or DSD data.

A versatile amplifier

Combining powerful output, in three gain stages, and low output impedance, the EH3 pairs perfectly with a wide range of headphones. It features XLR, 4.4mm, 6.35mm and 3.5mm connections and is compatible with the most sensitive in-ear headphones, up to the most demanding full-size audiophile headphones, all sound great with the EH3.

In power figures, the Shanling EH3 achieves:

  • Single-Ended: 1900mW@32Ohms
  • Balanced: 5200mW@32Ohms

Stand-alone standalone player

The Shanling EH3 has the ability to become a completely stand-alone all-in-one audio solution. It is capable of reading all Hi-Res files directly from the unit, with convenient control from the Eddict Player playback app. This DAC/Amp doesn't need any other components to shine with your headphones or active speakers.
