Shanling EA5 is designed as a multifunctional music center for your desktop Hi-Fi system, working perfectly both independently and in combination with other devices.
The heart of EA5 is its digital player system, providing easy access to various streaming services or working with your music library. Simply insert a MicroSD card, connect a hard drive, or connect the EA5 to your local Wi-Fi network and the music starts playing. And all of this can be controlled remotely using an app on your phone.
There are two amplifiers hidden inside the EA5. Our standard headphone amplifier, delivering up to 570mW@32ohm power to your audiophile headphones using a full-size 6.35mm output. But more special is the included Abletec Class D speaker amplifier, rated at 50W@4ohms per channel. This makes the EA5 an ideal choice for a desktop setup where you may have to switch between headphones and speakers frequently.
The rest of EA5 is filled with connectivity options so it can be used in many other scenarios. It can work as a standalone DAC with a computer or other digital sources. It can be connected to a separate amplifier and used as a pure DAC or as a pre-amp. Otherwise, it can operate as an integrated amplifier connected to a separate DAC. It can even work with Bluetooth, both as a receiver and a source.
