The Shanling M8T is the new flagship among Shanling's portable Android players and marks an important milestone: it is their first portable with tube output. The two JAN6418 tubes provide a warm, analog sound inspired by Shanling's rich tube history in hi-fi amplifiers and CD players. One-touch switching between tube mode and tight-sounding transistor output is easy, depending on music style or headphones.
Built around AKM's latest flagship DAC chipset with accompanying Delta-Sigma modulator, the M8T delivers a natural, rich and powerful sound that builds on the beloved signature of the original 2020 M8.
With the Android 13 operating system, the player offers an open platform for apps and streaming services, supported by AGLO (Android Global Lossless Output) technology for bit-perfect playback with no loss of quality.
With high-quality construction, interchangeable headphone jacks, powerful amplification and flexible sound reproduction, the M8T is an ideal choice for discerning listeners who appreciate both tradition and innovation.
