Shanling M1 Plus: a 116g hi-res player with an ES9069Q DAC and 660mW per channel into 32Ω from its 4.4mm balanced output. It runs Shanling's music-only MTouch OS with Wi-Fi AirPlay/DLNA and two-way LDAC Bluetooth, for IEM and efficient-headphone listeners who play files from microSD rather than apps.

Who the Shanling M1 Plus is for

  • microSD music libraries: There is no internal storage: it plays PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz and DSD512 from a microSD card of up to 2TB, with no app store in the way.
  • Sensitive multi-driver IEMs: Output impedance is 0.6Ω single-ended and 1.2Ω balanced, yet the 4.4mm jack still has 660mW per channel into 32Ω for efficient full-size headphones.
  • Phone owners who stream: Tidal is built into the firmware, and Spotify or Apple Music can play through it over AirPlay or Bluetooth, since it receives LDAC, aptX HD, aptX and AAC.
  • Commuting, travel and bedside listening: At 86 × 61 × 17mm and 116g with a 2,100mAh battery rated up to 12.5 hours, it slips into a shirt pocket.
  • Feeding a desk setup: It doubles as a USB DAC for a computer and sends coaxial S/PDIF from its 3.5mm jack to an external DAC.
  • Skip it if: You want Spotify, Qobuz or Apple Music apps on the player itself: MTouch cannot install apps, and Tidal is its only built-in streaming service.

FAQ

Can I install Spotify or Tidal on the M1 Plus?

You cannot install apps: it runs Shanling's own MTouch OS, not Android. Tidal is the exception because it is built into the firmware, so it streams over Wi-Fi without installing anything. For Spotify or other services, play from your phone over AirPlay or Bluetooth, since the M1 Plus also works as a Bluetooth receiver, or use local files and DLNA. The trade-off is a faster, simpler, longer-lasting player.

Is it powerful enough to drive my headphones without an extra amp?

For most IEMs and efficient headphones, yes — the ES9069Q DAC and dual SGM8262 amps deliver 660mW at 32 ohms from the 4.4mm balanced output, generous for a 116-gram pocket player. Very demanding planars may still prefer a desktop amp.

Does it come with warranty?

Yes. We sell genuine brand-new Shanling stock with a 1-year TonePier warranty, 45-day returns, and free shipping.
