Description

3 inch Retina display,310 PPI pixels,800X480 resolutions HD display

  • When you open the M2S, brilliant Retina display, matched with the 3-inch size, so that everything looks particularly bright and beautiful. Photo is like hanging in the screen, vivid, delicate.
  • 800X480 resolution, so that each interface are particularly clear.
  • All of these are shown in this inch between, coupled with its own UI system, just to bring you a different visual experience.

New design Evolution

  • M2s contrast to the previous generation M2 in the retention, the advantages of the former on the basis of a more bold innovation. Smaller about 20.6%, Lighter to about 100g.

Big thrust, low background noise

  • The main chip is excellent packaging shielding; optimize the power circuit design, to maintain a large thrust while reducing the noise at the same time.

NATIVE DSD, Better sound quality, Powerful function

  • M2s support hardware solution DSD256, PCM384Khz / 32bit, also supports WAV, FLAC, APE, WMA, ALAC, AIFF, AAC, ISO, DFF, DSF, DTS and other lossless audio formats.

  • CNC 40 minutes precision machining
  • Shell 50 minutes thick film oxidation and color

PO/LO Share one interface

  • M2s earphone jack can switch to lineout output,

Hi-end level chip selection

  • Surging sound, strong thrust

AK4490EQ

  • Shanling’s M2s chip configuration uses the more advanced Japanese AKM’s premium 32bit DAC chip, the AK4490EQ, integrates the newly developed switched-capacitor filter “OSR Double” with five types of 32-bit digital filters, which can receive up to 768kHz PCM data and 11.2MHz DSD data and has a low distortion of 112dB, very suitable for high-resolution audio source player, for the presentation of the human voice to build a better hardware foundation for the late tuning ready.

MUSES8920

  • MUSES8920 is JRC in order to expand the high sound for high-quality audio device series
  • “MUSES” product lineup, the development of a 2-way, J-FET input form of op amp chip. This chip as M2S low-pass filter chip has many advantages, the distortion as low as 0.00004%, slew rate is as high as 25V / μs. MUSES8920 has a wider range of work 3V can work properly, M2S its working voltage for the soil 5V, so a greater degree of guarantee that the chip will be a good performance.
  • MUSES8920 is a Hi-end level op amp chip. It can give M2s more beautiful and beautiful voice, which makes the appeal of music more thoroughly demonstrated.

TPA6120

  • Using TPA6120 as the emitter chip, with low distortion, excellent performances, amplified circuit through the fine design, give you a better thrust performance.

Delicate leather case

  • Close / dress up / protect (leather to be purchased separately)
