The Shanling M3 Plus redefines what a portable Hi-Fi player can be, delivering audiophile-grade performance in a sleek and compact design. Built with a precision-milled aluminum chassis and advanced internal circuitry, the M3 Plus is crafted for music lovers who demand clarity, richness, and versatility—whether at home or on the move.
The M3 Plus boasts an ergonomic form with fluid contours that offer a comfortable grip during extended use. At the heart of the user experience is a vibrant 4.7-inch Sharp touchscreen with a 1280×720 resolution, providing smooth and intuitive navigation. Slightly enlarged dimensions strike the right balance between portability and usability, ensuring it feels just right in the hand.
High-End Audio Architecture
At its core, the M3 Plus features a powerful quad-DAC setup using four Cirrus Logic CS43198 chips, paired with dual SGM8262 amplifiers. This configuration delivers exceptional output—up to 800 mW via a balanced 4.4 mm output and up to 200 mW through the standard 3.5 mm jack—unlocking the full potential of even the most demanding headphones.
