{"product_id":"shanling-ec-mini-transportable-cd-player-dap","title":"Shanling EC Mini Transportable CD player \u0026 DAP","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Shanling EC Mini is Shanling’s first transportable, battery-powered CD player, and a full hi-res music player too. Two 18650 batteries free it from the mains, so it moves from desk to garden to car; inside, the same CD hardware as Shanling’s bigger players reads CDs and MQA-CDs, while microSD, USB, two-way Bluetooth and a USB DAC mode make it much more than a CD player. Two ES9219 DACs feed 3.5mm and 4.4mm balanced headphone outputs and an RCA pre-out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-ec-mini-transportable-cd-player-dap-photo-hero.jpg?v=1791360267\" alt=\"Shanling EC Mini transportable CD player and DAP\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-ec-mini-transportable-cd-player-dap-photo-overview.jpg?v=1791360273\" alt=\"Shanling EC Mini features at a glance\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompact and independent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EC Mini packs modern features into a compact body, independent of power outlets and the limits of classic CD players. It fits on a cluttered office desk or a bedside table, moves easily between rooms or to a coffee shop, and goes outside to the garden or a park. It charges from any standard USB-C charger, which makes it a natural fit for the car: connect it to the stereo over RCA or Bluetooth, and its In-Vehicle mode powers it on and off with the engine when connected by USB. For CD playback, Shanling asks that the EC Mini is stationary and lying flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-ec-mini-transportable-cd-player-dap-photo-portable.jpg?v=1791360279\" alt=\"The compact, battery-powered Shanling EC Mini\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-ec-mini-transportable-cd-player-dap-photo-uses.jpg?v=1791360284\" alt=\"Shanling EC Mini at home, on the go, outdoors and in the car\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA proper CD drive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EC Mini uses the same CD hardware as Shanling’s bigger CD players, comparable to the CD80 and CA80: a Philips CD drive with a Sanyo HD860 laser for accurate reading of CDs and MQA-CDs, with extra mechanical and electronic anti-vibration systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-ec-mini-transportable-cd-player-dap-photo-drive.jpg?v=1791360289\" alt=\"The Philips CD drive and Sanyo HD860 laser in the Shanling EC Mini\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBalanced audio, well-proven Shanling sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayback is based on Shanling’s M3 Ultra player: a pair of ESS ES9219 DACs, among Shanling’s favourite-sounding chips, in a fully symmetrical design that gives Shanling’s typically warm, natural presentation, with full hi-res support up to 384kHz\/32-bit, native DSD256 and MQA-CD.
