SHANLING M0 Pura Hi-Res Music Player: Overview
M0 Pura is a pocket-sized Hi-Res music player built around two Cirrus Logic CS43131 DACs, giving it studio-level detail in a body barely bigger than a matchbox.
- Dual CS43131 DAC chipset: The player reaches a 121dB signal-to-noise ratio and 0.0004% distortion, so it decodes PCM tracks up to 384kHz/32bit and DSD128 with the clarity of much larger desktop gear.
- Compact build with a real touchscreen: At 43.8 x 45 x 13.8mm and 35.8 grams, it slips into any pocket, and its 1.54-inch touchscreen runs a smooth custom OS for browsing a microSD card loaded with up to 2TB of music.
- Balanced and single-ended output: The 3.5mm jack doubles as a balanced output with a 4.4mm adapter, pushing 250mW into 32-ohm headphones for enough power to drive demanding wired IEMs and studio cans.
- Two-way Bluetooth 5.0: It sends and receives LDAC, AAC, and SBC, so it pairs with wireless headphones or acts as a high-res DAC for a phone or computer over USB.
- 9.5 hours of playback: A 650mAh battery covers a full day of listening, recharges over USB-C, and holds a charge for a month in standby.
For anyone who wants better sound than a phone can offer without carrying a bulky player, the M0 Pura is worth a look.
