Advanced DACs with four Cirrus Logic CS43198 chips | Balanced SGM8262 amplifiers | Increased power to 800mW @ 32Ω | Upgraded Android 13 | Larger 4.7-inch display | New body design | Up to 14 hours battery life | Hi-Res 32-bit / 768kHz & DSD512

New Fresh Design | Classic Robust Construction
Using precision CNC machining for a complex visual design, the main chassis is formed from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminium, delivering a modernised look for the M3 range.

Larger Screen | Still Ideally Portable
The M3 Plus is slightly taller to accommodate a larger 4.7-inch screen, making app control easier while still remaining one of the most compact Android portable players available.

Quad Audio Design | Major Step Up for M3 | Four Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs
The M3 Plus takes a significantly more advanced approach to its audio circuit than previous models, now featuring a quad DAC array of four Cirrus Logic CS43198 chips. This upgrade allows the M3 Plus to deliver higher sound quality than ever at this price point, while retaining a highly dynamic presentation shaped by Shanling’s 37 years of Hi-Fi experience.

Dual OPA1612 Op-Amps | Differential Amplifier
A proven component in Shanling’s previous audio designs, effectively reducing noise and distortion at the output while ensuring full use of the dynamic range.

Custom FPGA Solution | KDS Crystal Oscillators
Japanese active 90MHz / 98MHz crystal oscillators, alongside the 3rd generation of Shanling’s algorithm, deliver improved accuracy and reduced jitter for optimal sound reproduction.

Dual SGM8262 Amplifiers | Enhanced Headphone Output
Using the well-proven SGM8262 amplifiers and pushing them further with a fully balanced circuit, the M3 Plus achieves increased output power while maintaining lower distortion.

ELNA SILMIC II Capacitors
High-quality capacitors imported from Japan with a long history in serious Hi-Fi equipment, from power amplifiers to high-end SACD players.

Panasonic Tantalum Capacitors
Highly reliable, temperature-stable and precision components that play a key role in Shanling’s audio tuning.

800mW @ 32Ω | Increased Output Power | Expanded Possibilities
Thanks to its upgraded audio circuit, the M3 Plus now delivers up to 800mW @ 32Ω in balanced mode and 200mW @ 32Ω in single-ended mode. With three gain levels, it ranges from low, hiss-free output for sensitive earphones to high-power output for demanding full-size headphones.

Music Without Interruption | Optimised Battery Life
The M3 Plus features a 3500mAh battery, supported by QC3.0 fast charging (18W), delivering up to 14 hours of continuous Hi-Fi playback.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 Octa-Core CPU
Powered by the Qualcomm 665 processor with an 8-core 11nm architecture and Adreno 610 GPU, the M3 Plus delivers ample processing power for modern applications, optimised for Android 13 for smoother and faster performance.

Smooth Operation | Expandable Memory
With 4GB RAM for smooth multitasking and 64GB internal storage, plus a microSD card slot supporting up to 2TB, the M3 Plus provides ample space for high-resolution music libraries.

Two-Way Bluetooth Connectivity
Easily pair the M3 Plus with Bluetooth headphones and speakers, or use it as a high-quality Bluetooth DAC/amp for wireless streaming from smartphones.

Upgraded Android 13 System | Open System for All Apps
Running Android 13, the M3 Plus ensures long-term app compatibility and future updates. As with all open Android systems, it supports easy installation of music and streaming apps, enhanced by Shanling’s Android Global Lossless Output (AGLO) for bit-perfect audio processing.
