Shanling M2X – The New Mid-Range Portable DAP<\/h2>\n

The Shanling M2X is the company’s latest mid-range portable music player and I think it will be a “streaming” DAP. The company has announced that the M2X has Tidal support, and it will have a \u201cUSB Bluetooth transmitter\u201d for high quality wireless sound from any computer. It will also feature “advanced USB output” for use with any external USB DAC and it’s going to be compatible with DLNA, Airplay and Bluetooth receiver modes.<\/p>\n

Shanling didn’t specifically mentioned that it will feature a WiFi connection or at what speed. But I’m guessing it will have WiFi connectivity considering that it will support Tidal streaming, OTA updates and there’s a WiFi signal icon on the notification area of the M2X. It does have Bluetooth 4.2 and will support two-way connection. It will also support LDAC, AAC, apt-X and SBC.<\/p>\n

The Shanling M2X is based on the company’s MTouch 2.0 system. It has a 3.2″ inch touch screen display and will have a 3.5mm single-ended and 2.5mm balanced output ports. Its main storage will be via a single micro SD card slot. More of its features from the specifications below.<\/p>\n
