Shanling M9 Plus

The Shanling M9 Plus adopts a more complex visual design, inspired by Shanling's 25th anniversary edition Hi-Fi line. Using precise CNC machines, it creates the main chassis from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, with an intricate wave pattern on the sides.

The clean black look of the M9 Plus is enhanced by the gold volume wheel, reminiscent of a wide range of classic Hi-Fi amplifiers.

Built around the new Flasghsip AKM DAC system, the Shanling M9 Plus combines four AK4499EX DACs with an accompanying pair of Delta/Sigma AK4191 modulators.

Utilizing the special QUAD DAC architecture, with all four DACs activating at the same time for a fully balanced and independent output.

With three independent XC9519 converters included in the DAC and headphone circuitry, the M9 Plus enjoys the most stable power supply of all portable players, ensuring ideal working conditions for all its audio components.

The Shanling M9 Plus's fully balanced 4-channel amplifier circuit is based on Shanling's OP + BUF amplifier concept, driven to even better performance through further optimization. Designed for superior sound quality without unwanted noise.

High-speed, low-noise ADI ADA45253 amplifiers in a highly optimized I/V conversion stage are carefully matched with each resistor and capacitor for maximum performance. The third generation of the popular XMOS USB is inside the M9 Plus.

It offers an asynchronous connection, with full support for a variety of ultra-high resolution audio files and 16x MQA playback capability.

To design the Shanling M9 Plus using dedicated audio components proven from high-end SACD players and amplifiers, our engineers used six of the premium ELNA Silmic II capacitors in the player's amplifier circuit.

The main display of the M9 Plus is a beautiful 6-inch LCD panel from Sharp, offering 2160x1080 resolution, stunning colors and excellent viewing angles. Combined with a simple secondary display in the notch, it gives you a constant display of charge time, volume or current playback sample rate, keeping you informed at a glance.

With the Shanling M9 Plus running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 CPU, with eight cores, 11 nm architecture and Andreno 610 GPU, providing more than enough processing power for any modern application.

Undoubtedly a key point for smooth system performance and a big leap over previous generation HiFi players.

Offering four gain levels and a precise 100-step volume control, the Shanling M9 Plus is an ideal match for a wide range of headphones.

And for the most demanding headphones, the special Turbo Gain mode enables higher hardware gain, boosting output power to 520 mW at 32 ohms single-ended and 1125 mW at 32 ohms balanced.

With a massive 8350 mAh battery, the Shanling M9 Plus extends its playback time up to 18 hours on single-ended or 11 hours on balanced output.

To back up that battery, 18W Qualcomm Quick charge 3.0 is added, with the assurance that the Shanling M9 Plus can be recharged in no time.

Easily connect to any Bluetooth headset or speaker, or turn the Shanling M9 Plus into the ultimate Bluetooth DAC/Amplifier to stream music from your phone.

• Transmission mode: LDAC, LHDC, aptX HD, aptX, SBC
• Receiver mode: LDAC, SBC

The Shanling M9 Plus adds system-wide support for the advanced LHDC 5.0 Bluetooth codec, for 24-bit/192 kHz high-resolution playback, bit rates up to 1000 kbps and other features such as spatial audio, low latency and LE-Audio.

Equipped with a Qualcomm WCN3980 wireless module, supporting Wi-Fi 2.4/5G and MIMO technology, ensuring a fast and stable Internet connection.

The Shanling M9 Plus is based on the Android 10 platform, with a completely open system, giving you access to millions of apps to meet all your needs. And with built-in AGLO technology, Android Global Lossless Output.

Thanks to AGLO, all music from all applications will be processed correctly and in full quality, without any degradation caused by Android's built-in sample rate conversion.

The Shanling M9 Plus comes with DLNA and Airplay streaming support, can be synchronized with our Eddict app for remote control and firmware updates are easy thanks to Over-The-Air updates.

It can support 16 times high-definition MQA files to expand the digital signals of all channels from local, streaming media, USB audio, etc.

Naturally, the Shanling M9 Plus is Hi-Res certified by the Japan Audio Society.
