The M0 was the most popular product we’ve ever released. It convinced people to upgrade from their Sansa Clips to a real hi-fi player, it was used as a USB transport for DACs that cost 10 times more, it was even glued to the body of headphones, turning them into an all-in-one DIY setup. . And it filled the empty space left by the legendary iPod Nano.

The new Shanling M0 Pro follows in its footsteps, but this time we managed to squeeze a full balanced audio circuit into it! Thanks to two ESS ES9219C DAC/AMP, the M0 Pro will be able to provide improved sound quality and increased output power. Thanks to this, the most portable player will sound even better!

To use a balanced output while keeping the M0 Pro’s dimensions the same as its predecessor, we got creative and used an entirely new type of 3.5mm jack, combining both single-ended and balanced connections. It works perfectly with all standard single-ended 3.5mm jacks, while providing a properly balanced connection via the special 5-pin 3.5mm to 4.4mm adapter (included).

And we can’t forget about two-way Bluetooth, such an important feature of the original. M0 Pro now features an upgraded Bluetooth 5.0 chip, ensuring compatibility with the latest Bluetooth headphones and improving call quality.
