The Shanling M7T is the latest evolution in Shanling's line of high-fidelity portable players and is the successor to the brand's most reference-tuned design to date. Although the Shanling M8T is still the current flagship, the M7T comes close in many ways, with an exceptionally balanced performance. The main difference lies in sound tuning: the M8T embodies Shanling's signature warm and natural sound, while the M7T offers a more neutral, energetic and transparent presentation. The addition of the tube output allows listeners to add a touch of softness and smoothness, although the M7T retains a cleaner and more analytical character.
The M7T features a dual-DAC system based on AKM's next-generation AK4191 + dual AK4498EX "Sub-Flagship" DACs, which deliver exceptional precision and realism. With ultra-low distortion (-117 dB THD+N) and an impressive 129 dB signal-to-noise ratio, the M7T offers stunning sound quality and depth, redefining the sound limits for mid-range digital players.
The M7T combines innovation and tradition by incorporating two JAN6418 vacuum pentodes in a specially designed anti-shock enclosure. This provides an extremely clean and stable performance with virtually no microphone effect. Users can easily switch between Tube Mode, for warm, vintage richness, and Transistor Mode, for modern clarity and precision-perfect to tailor the sound to any listening experience.
The M7T uses an optimized amplifier circuit with dual OPA2211, dual MUSES8920 and quad BUF634A op-amps, backed by high-quality Panasonic and Nichicon capacitors. This combination provides dynamic power delivery, excellent phase control and full, energetic sound, driving both sensitive IEMs and demanding full-size headphones effortlessly with up to 980mW @ 32Ω (balanced output).
With a 7000mAh battery, the M7T offers long play times: up to 14.5 hours (single-ended), 12.5 hours (balanced) and an impressive 66 hours in Bluetooth mode. Thanks to support for QC3.0 and PD2.0 fast charging, the player is back to full charge quickly, keeping the music flowing uninterrupted.
Crafted from aerospace-grade magnesium-aluminum alloy, the M7T combines toughness, lightness and sophistication. Its fluid forms are complemented by a 5-inch Sharp Full HD display (1080×1920, 441 PPI), for razor-sharp visuals and responsive operation. Available in Mocha, Starry Grey and Midnight Blue, the M7T reflects elegance and individuality.
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor and Android 13, the M7T offers a smooth, app-friendly experience with robust stability. Shanling's exclusive AGLO (Android Global Lossless Output) technology ensures bit-perfect playback, bypassing Android's SRC limitations for uncompromising sound quality. With 6GB RAM, 128GB internal storage and expandable memory, the M7T combines high-end performance with seamless usability.
With a perfect balance of reference sound, refined craftsmanship and modern functionality, the Shanling M7T demonstrates what a mid-range portable player can achieve. It embodies Shanling's relentless pursuit of musical purity-and delivers a listening experience that feels as refined as it sounds.
