Shanling M6 Ultra: an Android 10 hi-res music player built on four AKM AK4493SEQ DACs in a fully balanced design, rated 720 mW into 32 Ω from its 4.4 mm output and powered by a 5650 mAh battery. It is for listeners who want a dedicated player that runs streaming apps and can still drive full-size headphones.
Who the Shanling M6 Ultra is for
Balanced IEM and headphone owners: The 4.4 mm output is rated 720 mW into 32 Ω (240 mW from 3.5 mm), and Shanling redesigned the amp with demanding full-size headphones in mind.
Streaming-app listeners: Android 10 lets you install your music apps on the player, and Shanling's AGLO output avoids Android's built-in sample-rate conversion; it also fully decodes MQA.
Home-network libraries: Dual-band Wi-Fi with NAS, DLNA and AirPlay support lets it play music stored on a home server or sent from another device.
Two-way Bluetooth users: Bluetooth 5.0 works in both directions: receiver mode accepts LDAC or SBC, and transmitter mode sends LDAC, aptX HD, aptX or SBC to Bluetooth headphones or speakers.
Long days away from a charger: The 5650 mAh battery is rated 13.5 hours from the 3.5 mm jack or 9 hours balanced, and recharges with 18 W Quick Charge 3.0.
Skip it if: you want a simple player that boots straight to your library without apps, since the M6 Ultra is a full Android 10 device.

Shanling M6 Ultra vs similar options
vs Shanling M5 Ultra: Rated 1,100 mW at 32 Ω balanced versus the M6 Ultra's 720 mW, but runs Shanling's app-free MTouch system; pick the M6 Ultra if you want Android streaming apps on the player.
vs FiiO M33 R2R: Takes the R2R resistor-ladder route instead of four AKM AK4493SEQ chips and doubles memory to 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage; choose by DAC flavor and how much music you keep onboard.
vs FiiO M15S: Built around an ES9038PRO DAC instead of AKM chips and also runs Android 10 with MQA; pick the M6 Ultra for Shanling's quad-AKM design, which Shanling voices slightly warm and relaxed.
