Shanling ECZero AKM Portable CD Player with AKM Chip
In stock
The Shanling EC Zero AKM, a new addition to the high-end section of the portable CD player market, takes on the same features of the EC Zero T with it's highly stable CD playback, but opting for a more straightforward AKM DAC section and simpler amplifiers.
Next Step for Shanling's Portable CD Players - Active Magnetic Clamp
A new magnetic design continuously adjusts its position and pressure on the disc, effectively improving the stability of its spin, which significantly reduces undesired mechanical noise and vibrations of the CD drive.
Custom CD System
Built with a new compact CD Drive system, ensuring a desktop-level performance with high accuracy, while providing gapless playback for all CDs.
Advanced Anti-Shake Systems
Designed with increased focus on portable use, EC Zero utilizes a range of systems that provide uninterrupted and skip-free CD playback while listening on the go. Vertical or horizontal position, walking or sitting down, the playback stability stays the same.
Top-Grade Construction
Each unit undergoes a long testing and calibration procedure during the production cycle, guaranteeing a perfectly balanced and stable CD mechanism, so critical for ideal disc rotation and audio reproduction.
Smooth Side of High-Fidelity - AKM AK4493S DAC & Dual SGM Amplifiers
AKM DACs play a big role in the audio designs of Shanling, with the AK4493S well proving its great capabilities in a range of our devices. Now EC Zero will utilize this DAC and all our extensive Hi-Fi knowledge to deliver warmer tuned and perfectly natural sounding CD playback on the go. Headphone section features a pair of SGM8262 amplifiers, delivering a transparent and powerful output, reaching up to 836mW @32 Ohms With the accurate 100-step volume control and swift volume slider, EC Zero will be a lovely pairing for both sensitive Earphones and harder to drive full-size Headphones.
