Technical specifications

M3X is our newest Android Hi-Res portable player, built on the same platform as our previous three Android models. But this time we are aiming at the more affordable part of the market, with a little bit less focus on the most demanding DAC chipsets and the most powerful amplifiers. 

M3X was designed as a scaled down version of our flagship M8, to be a more practical and smaller player, with only 4.2-inch touch screen. Making it 25% smaller and lighter than our older M6 and M6 Pro players.

M3X is a first Hi-Res player to use the new ESS Sabre ES9219C DAC/AMP, a new generation of a very popular chip that was previously used in our M0, UP4 and other products. Using two of these chips, to offer a balanced 4.4mm output for better sound and more power. And also including full 16x MQA unfolding, for all fans of the Hi-Res music streaming. 

M3X will stand out with its class leading battery life, offering up to 23 hours of playback on a single charge.

4.2-INCH TOUCH SCREEN

Fitting your hands and pockets

By opting for a smaller screen with a 3:2 ratio, we created our smallest Android player. A truly portable one, nicely fitting into your pockets and easily controlled by just one hand.

Resolution = 768 * 1280
Ppi = 356

DUAL ES9219C

Efficient and great sounding

M3X is the first portable player to utilize a brand new generation of an extremely efficient Sabre DAC/AMP from ESS. This allowed us to provide you with the traditional Shanling's Hi-Fi sound, while assuring an even better battery life and adding a hardware support of MQA.

AVX tantalum capacitors

We chose special large-capacity tantalum capacitors for the audio circuit of M3X, enhancing the performance of low frequencies
