The Shanling M5 Ultra 10th Anniversary Edition is a specially modified M5 Ultra with the same AK4191EQ + AK4499EX DAC system and up to 1100mW at 32Ω balanced, plus adjusted tuning, out-of-production Panasonic and Elna Silmic II capacitors and single-crystal copper internal wiring. It suits listeners who want a dedicated music player with strong balanced power and anniversary details such as the engraved golden wheel.
Who the Shanling M5 Ultra 10th Anniversary Edition is for
A warmer sound: Shanling says the 10th Anniversary tuning was adjusted for an even more analog-sounding, warm performance than the standard M5 Ultra.
Demanding headphones: With three gain levels and a TPA6120A2 amplifier, the 4.4mm balanced output is rated up to 1100mW at 32Ω and the 3.5mm output up to 315mW.
Hi-res files and USB DAC use: It plays PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz and native DSD512 from microSD and works as a USB DAC through its XMOS XU316 input.
Wireless listening: Two-way Bluetooth 5.2 supports LDAC, aptX HD, aptX, AAC and SBC, and Wi-Fi adds DLNA and AirPlay streaming.
Collectors: A golden volume wheel engraved with "10" and anniversary graphics in the system set this edition apart from the standard model.
Skip it if: you want Android streaming apps on the player — it runs Shanling's MTouch system, which is focused on music playback, with network playback through DLNA and AirPlay.
