Full manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shanling EC Zero AKM is a portable CD player built for use on the move, with anti-shake systems and an active magnetic clamp for skip-free playback. An AKM AK4493S DAC gives a warm, natural sound, and two SGM8262 amplifiers deliver up to 836mW into 32Ω. It also rips CDs to a USB drive, transmits Bluetooth and works as a USB DAC. It is a simpler version of the valve-equipped EC Zero T.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/SHANLINGECZEROAKM_1000x618_8779f20b-b2e9-442c-b2bb-b9d56dc465c5.jpg?v=1767219701\" alt=\"Shanling EC Zero AKM portable CD player\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/p00.jpg?v=1791343269\" alt=\"Shanling EC Zero AKM portable CD player featuring an AKM DAC\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSkip-free CD playback\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe active magnetic clamp keeps adjusting its position and pressure on the disc, which steadies the spin and cuts mechanical noise and vibration.
