Shanling has officially unveiled the M0 Pura, the latest generation of its ultra-compact portable music player.
Weighing just 35.8 grams, the M0 Pura is designed for audiophiles looking for high-resolution playback in an incredibly small package. It features dual Cirrus Logic CS43131 DACs, supports PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz and native DSD128, while offering up to 250mW of balanced output power with Shanling's optional 4.4mm adapter.
The tiny player includes a 1.54-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth 5.0 with two-way transmit and receive functionality, USB DAC mode, digital transport capabilities, and a microSD card slot supporting up to 2TB of storage.
Battery life is rated at up to nine hours of continuous playback, and Shanling includes a USB-C cable and screen protectors in the box. Optional accessories include a leather case, clip case, and balanced output adapter.
The Shanling M0 Pura is available now for $129 (£129 / €129).
Why It Matters
Dedicated portable music players may be a niche product today, but there's still a loyal audience looking for better sound quality than a smartphone can provide. At $129, the M0 Pura packs an impressive feature set into one of the smallest Hi-Res players currently available. We'll reserve final judgment until we've had an opportunity to test one ourselves.
