Shanling M0 Pro Portable Music Player
The Shanling M0 Pro Portable Music Player is a refreshed M0.
It is an extremely small, lightweight and super pocketable device that we just love. It shares the same design characteristics as the other models of Shanling, yet it has this super compact form factor. That’s not it though.
Shanling M0 Pro also has great features for its tiny size: It plays DSD (even 128!) and all types of files you put into it.
You can use it as a USB DAC. You can also use it almost like a “Bluetooth module” as we prefer to call it because of its size.
What we mean is that you can connect your smartphone wirelessly to use your streaming applications. Speaking of Bluetooth, it has LDAC and aptX. The BT chip is upgraded to BT 5.0, so they got that one covered as well. It’s a very feature-packed device for its size & price level.
For the audio circuit, Shanling somehow managed to put a fully balanced audio circuit into this device. With two pieces of ESS ES9219C DAC/AMPs, M0 Pro will be able to provide improved sound quality and increased output power.
Features

Bi-Directional Signal Transmission
Adopting a Bluetooth 5.0 module as a transceiver, the M0 Pro can send and receive signals.
It makes the bi-directional signal transmission from the smartphone, tablet or notebook to this upgrade music player possible. Besides, there is a Hi-res Audio Wireless logo on the new Shanling M0 PRO Ultra-Portable Music Player next to the regular Hi-res Audio logo. It indicates that codecs are used that enable loss-free signal transmission even in Hi-res Audio.
Special Single-Ended/Balanced 3.5mm Port
Featuring a 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack for connecting headphones, the Shanling M0 Pro utilizes a special 5-pin design to ensure a balanced connection in the smallest form factor. It is worth mentioning that the single-ended and balanced connection in this brand-new Shanling ultra-portable player can come true.
Exquisite Design & All Aluminum Case
Presenting itself with an aluminum housing, which is anodized in different colors, the Pro player comes with a USB-C port, which can be used as a USB DAC and serve to charge the integrated battery.
Besides, the M0 PRO from Shanling characterizes a small touchscreen display that can serve as the central user interface for easy control. And a rotary encoder is on the side, ensuring that this player appears almost like a smartwatch.
Tiny with Excellent Audio Performance
In those years, it was still quite common for many users to rely on so-called MP3 players, especially when it came to particularly compact solutions.
After years of hard work, the Chinese company Shanling once again presents with the new Shanling M0 PRO Ultra-Portable Music Player, a so-called DAP, i.e., a digital audio player. The most obvious feature of the new Shanling M0 PRO is that it is a virtually tiny solution with excellent audio performance. Therefore, you can really take with you wherever you go.
