Product overview

The Shanling EM5 is a Desktop Streaming DAC/AMP for connecting digital sources to headphones or compact audio systems. HiFiLoop uses this page as a focused model page for used / open-box private-quote requests.

Key features

Closed Android desktop streamer with a 4.7-inch touch display for app playback, local USB-drive playback, and network audio control.
AKM AK4493 DAC section is paired with OPA2211 filtering, TPA6120A2 headphone amplification, and MUSES8920 preamp output stages.
Three headphone output formats cover 6.35 mm single-ended, 4.4 mm balanced, and 4-pin XLR balanced headphone systems.
RCA and XLR preamp outputs let EM5 serve as the front end for a power amplifier, active speakers, or a compact two-channel chain.
USB, coaxial, optical, LAN, Wi-Fi, AirPlay, DLNA, and two-way Bluetooth make it a desktop source hub rather than only a headphone amp.
