Shanling is a Chinese hi-fi manufacturer founded in 1988, with main offices in Shenzhen and its own factory in Dongguan. It began with a stereo amplifier and later became known internationally for portable digital audio players, portable DAC/amps and earphones, while keeping a line of desktop CD players, amplifiers and turntables. The company has worked in the international market since 2001.
Range & what it's known for
Early products included equalizers with LED spectrum displays and integrated amplifiers, and in 2001 the brand presented the CD-T100, a CD player with a vacuum-tube output stage. A 25th anniversary flagship 600 series followed in 2012. The first portable player, the M3, came in 2014, and the M-series has since grown through the M0, M1, M2s, M3s, M5s and on to the current M7T MASTER and M8T Cu. Today the range also covers the Q2 player, dongle and portable DAC/amps such as the UA1, UA6 II and UA7 Cu, earphones like the EC Zero T MAX and the desktop CD50 CD player. Copper-bodied editions of several models are a recent theme.
Who owns it and where it's made
Shanling is a private Chinese company. It set up its first audio equipment factory in 1990, moved to Shenzhen in 1996 as Shenzhen Shanling Electronics and obtained ISO 9001 certification in 1997. In 2002 it formed a joint venture, Shenzhen Shanling Digital Technology Development. Design takes place in Shenzhen and products are built at the company's plant in Dongguan.

Listed here are Shanling digital audio players, DACs and in-ear monitors, costing from about USD 100 to over USD 2,000 across the listed range.
Who it's for
