Balanced XLR and 4.4mm outputs sit beside standard 6.35mm and 3.5mm sockets, a 5.8-inch screen tilts up for easy use, and a split power supply keeps the streamer away from the audio circuits. It can also be a pure DAC, a preamp or a digital source for your hi-fi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-em7-flagship-lossless-desktop-player-with-es9038pro-ess-dac-photo-hero.jpg?v=1791364370\" alt=\"Shanling EM7 streamer, DAC and headphone amplifier in black and silver\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-em7-flagship-lossless-desktop-player-with-es9038pro-ess-dac-photo-overview.jpg?v=1791364374\" alt=\"Shanling EM7 features at a glance\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA tilting 5.8-inch display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for tables, bedside cabinets or dedicated hi-fi racks, the EM7’s 5.8-inch 1080p Sharp LCD touchscreen tilts up to 60° so it always sits at the ideal viewing and operating angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-em7-flagship-lossless-desktop-player-with-es9038pro-ess-dac-photo-tilt.jpg?v=1791364379\" alt=\"The tilting 5.8-inch touchscreen of the Shanling EM7\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-em7-flagship-lossless-desktop-player-with-es9038pro-ess-dac-photo-angle.jpg?v=1791364384\" alt=\"The Shanling EM7 screen tilts up to 60 degrees\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn all-in-one music centre\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EM7 is built around Shanling’s deeply customised, closed Android 10 system and works as a completely standalone rig. It plays from USB drives and memory cards (microSD up to 2TB), streams from local servers over DLNA, AirPlay or a NAS, and has apps for Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, Apple Music and Amazon Music, all in one simple system. Shanling’s AGLO technology (Android Global Lossless Output) processes every audio file correctly and at full quality, for true hi-fi performance from Android. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor gives more computing power than any hi-fi streamer needs, for the smoothest, fastest response, and the EM7 decodes MQA in full (16×) from TIDAL or MQA files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-em7-flagship-lossless-desktop-player-with-es9038pro-ess-dac-photo-apps.jpg?v=1791364388\" alt=\"The Shanling EM7 music centre interface\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlagship ES9038PRO DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EM7 is based around ESS’s best DAC, the ES9038PRO, supported by its dedicated ES9311 voltage regulator and using all eight of its channels for a fully balanced audio circuit. Shanling describes the sound as highly energetic, detailed and fast, for a deep exploration of even the most demanding tracks.

Two Japanese KDS active crystal oscillators and Shanling’s updated third-generation FPGA algorithm keep the digital signal precise and reduce jitter for cleaner, more accurate sound.
