The Shanling EH90 is an R2R desktop DAC/amp that pairs Shanling's 24-bit Pro R2R module (212 resistors at 0.01% tolerance) with a fully discrete balanced headphone amp rated at 5.2W per channel into 32Ω. It suits owners of demanding full-size headphones who also want HDMI ARC from a TV and I2S from a CD transport.
Who the Shanling EH90 is for
Demanding full-size headphones: Shanling rates the 4.4mm and XLR balanced outputs at 5,200mW per channel into 32Ω and 575mW into 300Ω on high gain, from a discrete stage with JFET inputs and MOSFET outputs.
Listeners set on R2R sound: The DAC is the Pro R2R module Shanling first used in its SCD3.3 SACD player, a 24-bit design built from 212 resistors held to 0.01% tolerance.
TV and music from one box: HDMI ARC brings the TV's sound into the same unit that plays your music, and the RCA (2.5V) and XLR (5V) preamp outputs can feed active speakers or a power amp.
CD transport and master-clock owners: An FPGA-assisted I2S input over HDMI/LVDS offers 10 selectable pinouts for other brands' transports, alongside AES/EBU, coaxial, optical and a 44.1kHz/10MHz word-clock input.
Streaming from a phone: Bluetooth 5.4 receiving with LDAC and aptX Lossless lets a phone or tablet play straight through the R2R DAC.
Skip it if: you want streaming built in: the EH90 is a DAC/amp only, with no Wi-Fi or Ethernet, so a computer, phone, TV or transport has to feed it.

Shanling EH90 vs similar options
vs FiiO K17: Offers Wi-Fi and Ethernet network streaming and a 31-band PEQ on AKM DAC chips; pick the EH90 for R2R conversion and an HDMI ARC input for the TV.
vs Shanling EM7: An all-in-one Android 10 player with an ES9038Pro chip DAC that streams over Wi-Fi and plays from microSD or USB drives; choose the EH90 if you already have a source and want R2R.
