Shanling EM7: an all-in-one desktop music player and DAC/amp that replaces the usual streamer, DAC and amp stack with one component, pairing an ES9038Pro DAC chip with a built-in headphone amplifier and Bluetooth 5.0. It is built for headphone listeners who want a serious desk, bedroom or office system without three boxes and extra interconnects.
Who the Shanling EM7 is for
Headphone listeners trimming a stack: One component stands in for a separate streamer, DAC and amp: one power cable, one device to learn, no extra interconnects.
Bedrooms and home offices: It makes a complete system in rooms where a full rack of separates would be excessive.
Shared households: Bluetooth 5.0 is there when someone else wants to play something.
Converter-conscious buyers: The ES9038Pro at its core is ESS's flagship-tier desktop DAC chip.
Skip it if: you would rather build a system from separate components you can swap one at a time; the EM7 puts player, DAC and headphone amp in a single chassis.

vs Topping DX9 Discrete: Fully balanced DAC/amp with a discrete converter rather than a packaged chip like the EM7's ES9038Pro, plus XU-316 USB, DSD512, 32-bit/768kHz and ten-band parametric EQ; pick it if you prefer discrete conversion.
