With the SM1.3, Shanling presents a streamer and DAC that aims to become the core of any good HiFi system. Its AKM AK4499EX and AK4141 chip combo enables it to handle signals up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512. Its support for a wide range of streaming services, as well as compatibility with DLNA, Airplay 2 and Samba protocols, make it a flexible network player that will fit seamlessly into your setup.
The SM1.3 has been developed on the foundation of the 64bit ARM Cortex A55 processor, and aims to be the new gold standard for the next generation of Shanling streamers. It takes as its software platform a deeply modified version of Android 12, optimized for Hi-Fi use, and integrates 4GB of RAM, 64GB of memory, and an M.2 SSD slot.
The aesthetics of the SM1.3 follow the standard set by their MCD1.3 CD player, and feature the same minimalist design, enabling it to blend into many interiors. The aluminum body with its rounded angles, topped by a glass panel, and the presence of a 5.8” 1080p touchscreen bring a refined yet robust design to the device.
As the SM1.3 is intended to be the new baseline for Shanling, the brand has taken the opportunity to rework its entire user interface. The new UI focuses on simpler, faster access to all levels of the system, with an optimized main menu, settings and playback controls. A reduced number of elements and clearer labeling give the system a more streamlined appearance and faster navigation.
The SM1.3 is designed to be both comprehensive and easy to use, with direct integration of numerous streaming applications such as Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Apple Music, Apple Classical, Presto Music and KKBox. Furthermore, it's compatible with DLNA and Airplay 2 network protocols for easy access. Finally, you can also enable the SM1.3 to connect to your NAS, thanks to Samba support.
The SM1.3's power supply stage was designed with meticulous attention to detail. To avoid interference as much as possible, the network playback section and the audio signal processing section are powered independently. Two 31W toroidal transformers provide a linear, low-noise power supply, providing stable, clean power to each section of the device.
The SM1.3 incorporates AKM's flagship AK4499EX and AK4141 chip pair. This duo of a DAC chip and a Delta-Sigma modulator converts a digital signal up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512 into an analog signal with highly detailed results, a vast soundstage and a warm, natural sound. The line output benefits from a MUSES8920 OPA, allowing you to use the SM1.3 as a pre-amplifier. Furthermore, a 6.35mm headphone output with a dedicated OPA TPA6120 is also available on the front panel, allowing you to use it as a headphone amplifier.
The SM1.3 benefits from both wired Internet connectivity via Ethernet, and wireless connectivity via Wifi standard 6, ensuring a fast, stable connection in all cases. Furthermore, you can connect to the SM1.3 via Bluetooth 5.2, while retaining excellent sound quality thanks to support for the high-resolution codecs LDAC, aptX, aptX Adaptative, aptX HD and aptX Low-Latency.
The SM1.3 uses ACCUSILICON 45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz clocks for greater precision and performance when decoding high-resolution music, supported by Shanling's AGLO (Android Global Lossless Output) system for bit-perfect sound results, even on Android.
The SM1.3's USB inputs feature an XMOS XU316 USB interface. This high-performance microcontroller enables fast, efficient processing of audio streams via USB. It also guarantees support for PCM signals up to 32bit 768kHz and DSD up to DSD512.
