SHANLING M3 Plus Quad-DAC Portable Music Player with CS43198 & Android 13

SHANLING M3 Plus Quad-DAC Portable Music Player

Building on the success of the M3X and M3 Ultra, the SHANLING M3 Plus sets a new benchmark for portable Hi-Fi. Housed in a precision-machined aluminum chassis and powered by four Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs with an open Android 13 platform, it delivers uncompromised sound quality wherever you go.

Sleek Ergonomic Design, Expansive 4.7-Inch Display

The M3 Plus debuts a curvy, ergonomic silhouette in a CNC-machined aircraft-grade aluminum body. Its larger 4.7-inch Sharp HD touchscreen brings album art and menus to life, while the slightly taller, thicker profile gives your fingers extra room for smooth navigation.

Quad-DAC Excellence with Four CS43198 Chips

Stepping up from dual-DAC designs, the M3 Plus employs four Cirrus Logic CS43198 chips working in perfect harmony. The balanced 4.4mm output delivers up to 800mW @ 32Ω for tight bass, detailed mids and crystal-clear highs, while the 3.5mm single-ended output provides a robust 200mW.

Dual SGM8262 Amplifier Stage

Paired with the quad-DAC array are dual SGM8262 amplifiers, driving both single-ended and balanced outputs with ample headroom to power IEMs and full-size headphones alike. Selectable gain levels let you fine-tune the output to your gear.

Open Android 13 with AGLO Audio

Enjoy the freedom of an open Android 13 platform complete with AGLO audio processing to optimize every track. Seamlessly switch between local files and streaming apps, and tap into two-way Bluetooth for wireless listening or receiver mode.

Versatile USB DAC & Transport

Use the M3 Plus as a USB DAC or USB Transport for bit-perfect desktop playback, expanding its role beyond a standalone player. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 (LDAC, aptX HD, aptX) provide flexible wireless streaming options.

All-Day Power & Portability

A 3500mAh battery with QC3.0 18W fast charging keeps the music going — up to 14 hours of playback (single-ended) or 9 hours of continuous Hi-Fi listening. Its slim, portable form factor and 205g weight make it ideal for daily use.
