SM1.3
Brand new in-house developed system | Upgraded Rockchip CPU | Highly customisable user interface | Newly developed companion app for iOS & Android | Flagship AKM AK4499EX DAC with AK4191 modulator | Dual transformer split power supply | Built-in dedicated headphone amplifier | SSD slot | Hi-Res 32-bit / 768kHz, DSD512 & MQA
Streaming System | Developed with Upgraded Faster CPU
Utilising an upgraded 64-bit ARM Cortex CPU, the SM1.3 system has been developed from the ground up for the new generation of Shanling streamers. It runs on a deeply customised, closed Android 12 system, built to the high standards of modern Hi-Fi streamers and shaped by extensive user feedback.
Refined & Robust
Following the design language of Shanling's SACD & CD players, the SM1.3 adopts a minimalist aesthetic that fits easily into a wide range of environments. Aluminium construction combined with a glass top, smoothly rounded edges and a stunning 5.8-inch 1080p display create a truly premium, high-end device.
Convenient Menu Structure
A newly designed user interface focuses on faster, more intuitive access across all levels of the system, with optimised main menu settings and playback controls. A reduced number of elements and clear labelling result in a cleaner interface that is quick and easy to navigate.
Instant Music Access
The main menu provides immediate playback control and direct access to your music library.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
The user interface is unified between the SM1.3 and Shanling's companion app, ensuring a seamless transition between the device and its remote control.
Built-In Streaming Options
With streaming apps readily available, you can enjoy Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Apple Music, Apple Classical, Amazon Music, Presto Music and KKbox. Shanling's updated system also ensures your apps remain up to date.
Fully Supported NAS
Connect the SM1.3 to your local server for a convenient streaming experience, now with added Samba support for easier setup.
Split Power Supply
A dedicated power architecture separates the streamer and audio sections of the SM1.3, eliminating unwanted interference between the two.
Dual 31W Toroidal Transformers
A pair of custom-made linear transformers deliver extremely low noise and high efficiency, with an additional potting process further reducing vibration.
A linear power supply is especially crucial for the analogue section of the SM1.3, providing cleaner and more stable power than typical switching supplies — essential for true high-fidelity sound.
AKM AK4499EX DAC & AKM AK4191 Modulator
Following the high standards set by Shanling's SACD & CD players, the SM1.3 utilises the flagship AKM AK4499EX DAC paired with the AK4191 modulator at its core. The result is a highly detailed presentation with a wide, precise soundstage, complemented by a natural warmth and smooth character.
MUSES8920 Pre-Out / Line-Out
Connect the clean line-out directly to standalone pre-amplifiers or integrated amplifiers, or use the precise volume control to use the SM1.3 as a high-quality pre-amplifier.
TPA6120 Headphone Amplifier
A dedicated headphone amplifier is optimised for use with full-size audiophile headphones, delivering powerful, controlled and smooth performance.
Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 | Increased Connectivity
Supporting both wired and wireless connections, the SM1.3 features a Gigabit LAN port and modern Wi-Fi 6 module, ensuring a fast, stable and uninterrupted streaming experience.
Hi-Res PCM & DSD Support | Dedicated ACCUSILICON Clocks
Advanced ACCUSILICON 45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz clocks ensure greater precision and improved performance when decoding high-resolution audio. Combined with Shanling's AGLO system, this enables bit-perfect playback even within Android. Both the system and XMOS USB input support Hi-Res audio up to 32-bit / 768kHz and DSD512.
Top-Quality Bluetooth Input | Qualcomm QCC5125 Module
Equipped with a dedicated Qualcomm Bluetooth receiver, the SM1.3 provides a simple solution for direct wireless playback from smartphones and tablets. Support for advanced codecs ensures high-quality, low-latency performance.
Newly Developed App | Remote Control Companion
The latest generation of Shanling streamers introduces an upgraded companion app, offering faster, more stable remote control with a consistent and intuitive interface.
All Bases Covered | Multifunctional Hi-Fi Core
Designed as the central hub for any Hi-Fi system, the SM1.3 offers a wide range of inputs and outputs. Key highlights include an integrated M.2 SSD slot for storing large music libraries directly on the device, and an FPGA-assisted I2S output with exceptional compatibility.
Hi-Res Certification
The SM1.3 has received Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Wireless Audio certification from the Japan Audio Society.
