EM7

Serving as a standalone music centre | Direct access to streaming services | ESS ES9038Pro flagship DAC | Extra powerful amplifier, up to 7W @ 32 Ohm / 1W @ 300 Ohm | Balanced XLR & 4.4mm with standard 6.35mm & 3.5mm outputs | Split power supply design

Tiltable Display | 5.8-inch Touch Screen
Designed for use on tables, bedside cabinets or dedicated Hi-Fi racks, the tiltable screen of the EM7 always allows for an ideal viewing and operating angle. Featuring a 5.8-inch 1080p Sharp LCD panel, the EM7 ensures optimal visibility from any position.

All-in-One Music Centre
Built around Shanling's deeply customised, closed Android system, the EM7 functions as a fully standalone Hi-Fi system. It supports playback from USB drives or memory cards, streaming from local servers, and access to a wide range of streaming services, all within a single unified platform.

With AGLO (Android Global Lossless Output), all audio is processed at full quality, ensuring true Hi-Fi performance from the Android system.

Flagship-Level DAC | ESS ES9038Pro with ES9311 Regulator
Based around ESS’s flagship ES9038Pro DAC, supported by its dedicated ES9311 voltage regulator, the EM7 fully utilises the DAC’s eight-channel architecture in a fully balanced audio circuit. The result is a highly detailed, dynamic and fast presentation, ideal for demanding recordings.

Dual Independent Power
To prevent unwanted interference between the streaming and high-end audio circuitry, the EM7 uses a split power supply design, with the Android system powered by its own dedicated switching supply.

Noratel Toroidal Transformer
A high-performance transformer from Norway is paired with two high-current voltage regulator chips and four 6800 µF / 35V premium capacitors, providing clean, stable power for the EM7’s DAC and balanced amplifier stages.

True Hi-Fi | Down to the Last Detail
Such an advanced audio circuit demands equally high-quality components to eliminate weak links in the signal path. The EM7 uses high-precision Omron relays, with all internal connections made using Hi-Fi-grade single-crystal copper wiring and gold-plated oxygen-free copper terminals.

Fully Balanced Headphone Amplifier
Four TI OPA2211 op-amps combined with eight ED139 and BD140 transistors form a fully balanced four-channel headphone amplifier, based on Shanling’s proven OP+BUF topology, taking amplifier performance to a new level.

In-House Developed I/V Stage
A highly optimised I/V conversion stage based on the TI OPA1611 helps the ES9038Pro achieve its full potential, preserving the energy and character of the DAC.

DPAF Low-Pass Filtering
DPAF (Constant Phase Across All Frequencies) technology, developed by Shanling’s engineering team, utilises two additional TI OPA2211 op-amps for precise filtering performance.

KSD Crystal Oscillators & 3rd Generation FPGA
Two Japanese KSD active crystal oscillators and an updated in-house FPGA algorithm ensure highly accurate digital signal transmission, effectively reducing jitter for cleaner, more precise sound reproduction.

Thin-Film Resistors
With 0.01% accuracy and excellent thermal stability, these high-precision thin-film resistors form a key part of the EM7’s design.

Panasonic Capacitors
Special tantalum-polymer capacitors offering high accuracy and reduced sensitivity to temperature fluctuations.

Hi-Res Playback Under Control
Equipped with an XMOS UX208 USB input, the EM7 functions as a high-end USB DAC, supporting PCM up to 32-bit / 768 kHz and DSD512. It also features a CT7302 audio bridge, enabling high-quality sample rate conversion, including full conversion of audio playback to DSD.

Bluetooth Streaming Connection
With Bluetooth 5.0 support, the EM7 can function as a wireless receiver, streaming music directly from your phone. Thanks to its two-way capability, it can also transmit audio to wireless headphones or speakers.

Companion App Remote Control
Connect the EM7 to Shanling’s Eddict Player app and use any Android or iOS smartphone or tablet as a remote controller. Use Wi-Fi for full screen mirroring or switch to Bluetooth for simpler playback control.

Fits into Any Hi-Fi System
While the EM7 can operate as a complete standalone system, it also integrates seamlessly into existing Hi-Fi setups.

Shanling’s Most Powerful Amplifier
The EM7 is designed to drive demanding full-size audiophile headphones, including flagship models from Hi-Fi history, delivering up to 7W @ 32 Ohm / 1W @ 300 Ohm.

Ready for Headphones
Featuring four headphone outputs, the EM7 supports all common audiophile connection standards, both single-ended and balanced.

Full MQA Support
As a full decoder, the EM7 supports up to 16x MQA unfolding for Tidal streaming and local MQA files.

Ultra-Smooth System Performance
Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor, the EM7 delivers smooth and responsive system performance.

Dual Hi-Res Certification
The EM7 has been awarded Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Wireless Audio certifications by the Japan Audio Society.
