Efficient and Great Sounding

M3X is the first portable player to utilize a brand new generation of an extremely efficient Sabre DAC/AMP from ESS.
This allowed us to provide you with the traditional Shanling’s Hi-Fi sound while assuring an even better battery life, and adding hardware support of MQA.
