Deep Black Design on Stunning Display

Inspired by Shanling's Heritage models and following the style set by M9. Using precise CNC machines for our most complex visual design, creating the main chassis from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, with an intricate wave pattern on both sides

 

6-Inch Sharp HD Touchscreen

Featuring a beautiful 6-inch LCD Panel from Sharp, with Full HD 2160 x 1080 resolution, stunning colours and great viewing angles. Smoothly integrated into the deep black body for an elegant and sleek look.

 

Flagship Level DAC Circuit

2 x AKM AK4499EX DACs with 2 x AK4191

M8T features an independent dual combination of the flagship AKM DACs with their ΔΣ Modulators. Such a one-on-one pairing eliminates clock signal distortion that can appear with the simpler Two DACs - One Modulator designs. Providing overall cleaner sound performance, especially with High-Resolution audio files.

 

Tuned by Shanling's audio experts to provide solid and smooth sound, combinng the legacy of the original Shanling M8 player with the evolved demands of the always improving Hi-Fi world.

 

Dual JAN6418 Tubes

Dedicated Tube Output

Over the past 37 years. the magical sound of tubes was featured in many of Shanling's CD players and amplifiers, but the M8T brigns it for the first time into the world of portable players,

 

A pair of low-voltage and power-efficient tubes, suspended in a custom-designed anti-shock structure to eliminate any microphonics, adding extra charm into the sound of the M8T

 

Trio of Output Modes

Transistor / Triode / Ultra-Linear

While the tubes are the unique feature of the M8T, the audio circuit can be run in a pure transistor mode, fully avoiding the tube output. And with the addition of Triode and Ultra-Linear modes for the tubes, M8T in total offers 3 distinctive sound profiles.

 

Transistor: Dynamic and hard hitting

Triode: A bit of added warmth

Ultra-Linear: Thick and smooth relax
