SHANLING M5 Ultra High-End MTouch Portable Player with AK4499EX DAC & 1100mW Output

SHANLING M5 Ultra High-End MTouch Portable Player

The SHANLING M5 Ultra is a high-end portable Hi-Res music player that pairs a bold, angular machined-aluminum and glass body with flagship audio engineering. Featuring the AKM AK4499EX DAC and AK4191 modulator, dual TPA6120A balanced amplifiers and the latest MTouch system on the Ingenic X2000 platform, it delivers one of the most powerful and refined listening experiences in a portable form factor.

Bold New Design Language

M5 Ultra departs from smooth round lines with an aggressive angular silhouette. Its precision-machined aluminum frame and glass panels exude sophistication and durability, while the 4.7-inch HD touchscreen, trio of hardware buttons and illuminated volume wheel ensure intuitive navigation and control.

Flagship AKM DAC & Modulator

Built around the flagship AKM AK4499EX DAC paired with the AK4191 modulator, the M5 Ultra decodes PCM up to 768 kHz / 32-bit and native DSD512. Enhanced by the improved I/V conversion stage from the M9 Plus, it delivers a smooth, slightly warmed-up sound with deep sub-bass, a rich soundstage and abundant detail.

Powerful Dual TPA6120A Amplifier

A balanced amplifier built around dual Texas Instruments TPA6120A2 chips delivers up to 1100mW @ 32Ω — one of the most powerful outputs of any portable player in its class, rivaling the flagship M9 Plus and easily driving full-size headphones.

Latest MTouch System on Ingenic X2000

Powered by the Ingenic X2000 platform with the latest generation of the MTouch system, the M5 Ultra offers a customizable main menu for quick access to MicroSD files, plus support for built-in Tidal online streaming (coming with a firmware update).

Versatile Playback & Connectivity

The M5 Ultra supports USB DAC mode via the XMOS XU316 chip, DLNA, AirPlay and Bluetooth Receiver modes. Bi-directional Bluetooth 5.2 supports LDAC, aptX HD, aptX and AAC for high-quality wireless audio in both directions.

Long-Lasting 6000mAh Battery

A 6000mAh battery delivers up to 11 hours of continuous playback, while dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5G) supports DLNA, AirPlay, NAS streaming and over-the-air updates. Pair with the Eddict Player app via SyncLink for convenient remote control.
