The Shanling M8 ($1659) represents my first review of a Shanling product, which happens to be its Reference Level or Top-of-the-Line (TOTL) “Portable Audio Player.” The Shanling M8 will render all current audio formats-DSD512, 32-bit/768kHz, MQA-is Bluetooth 5.0 equipped, and can, as a result, handle high-resolution wireless. Shanling’s stated mission, “is the careful consideration of its employees, continued innovation, product quality, and customer satisfaction.” These are, of course, admirable goals. Shanling, founded in 1988, creates and produces high-resolution, portable music players, portable amplifiers, headphones, and a host of two-channel audio products-SACD/CD players, amplifiers, etc.
