Shanling’s latest music streamer has many talents. Not only does it play digital music from all manner of streaming services, it works as a digital-to-analogue converter (DAC), plays locally stored music, has Bluetooth for wireless playback from a mobile device and can hook up to TVs, CD players and amps for whole-system integration.
Its custom streaming platform is based on Android, and lets you access such streaming bigwigs as Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Apple Music and Amazon Music Unlimited straight from the touchscreen. You can stream from your phone using Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect and Bluetooth, while AirPlay 2 and DLNA let you play from a networked device.
