The Shanling SM1.3 streamer is a compact, feature packed streamer which offers cutting edge tech in an easy to use package.
A flagship AKM4499EX DAC joins the AK4191 Modulator for a new sonic standard at the price. Comprehensive input and output stages cater for all audio set ups and a high quality TPA6120 dedicated headphone amp allows simple and easy private listening sessions.
Featuring native support for streaming apps such as Spotify, TIDAL, Apple Music, Apple Classical and Amazon Music, the SM1.3 also boasts a USB input for flash drives and a M.2 SSD slot for larger digital music collections and instantly creates a DLNA compatible music hub.
The 5.8 inch touchscreen is clear, fast and responsive and the SM1.3 can also be controlled with the Eddict app for Android and iOS.
Wi-Fi 6 is on board alongside AirPlay 2 plus a dedicated ethernet port for easy access to your network. Bluetooth 5.2 means both LDAC and APTX HD are supported and the output stage offers traditional optical and coaxial options but a RCA and XLR analog stage is present as is a I2S digital output with an FPGA offering 10 compatibility modes. Such additions mean the Shanling SM1.3 is a truly next-gen streamer and meets the need of all audiophiles in an easy and compact (28cm x 28cm x 110cm) solution.
The Shanling SM1.3 is available from November 8th, priced $1199, £1199 and €1199.
The pictured Shanling S0 active speakers are available now priced $399, £399 and €399.
