Two AKM AK4493SEQ DACs, the same as in Shanling’s M6 Ultra player, give the classic warm, smooth Shanling sound, and a TPA6120A2 amplifier delivers up to 840mW into 32Ω from the 4.4mm balanced output. Connect it by USB, coaxial, optical or LDAC Bluetooth, play music straight from a microSD card, or feed a hi-fi system from its RCA output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/shanling-h5-hi-res-decoder-portable-dac-amplifier-photo-hero.jpg?v=1791348947\" alt=\"Shanling H5 portable DAC\/amp with built-in music player\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompact quality on the go\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComfortable, rounded shapes machined from aircraft-grade aluminium make for a sleek device, and at 102 × 85 × 25mm and about 270g the H5 is the smaller of Shanling’s portable DAC\/amps.
