Dual AKM AK4493S DACs | Classic, Rich Sound Tuning

Utilising two AKM AK4493S DACs, a well-proven solution favoured by both audio enthusiasts and Shanling’s engineers, delivering a refined balance of clarity and natural, smooth presentation. Performance is elevated by a carefully designed power supply and OPA1612-based analogue output stage.

Modern Streaming Platform | Reliable System Components

Following the latest generation of Shanling streamers, the SM90 is powered by a 64-bit ARM Cortex CPU, supported by 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage for apps. This ensures stable performance on Shanling’s closed Android platform.

Convenient Menu Structure

Shanling’s UI is designed for fast and simple access to all system levels, with an optimised main menu, settings and playback controls. A reduced, well-structured layout improves clarity and navigation speed.

Instant Music Access

The main menu provides immediate playback control and direct access to your music library, with flexible organisation between local files and streaming services.

Cross-Platform Unification

The interface is unified between the SM90 and the Eddict Player companion app, providing a seamless transition between onboard and remote control.

Multi-Functional Hi-Fi Source | Ready for All Roles

Designed as a versatile music hub, the SM90 includes a range of analogue inputs alongside digital inputs and outputs. It integrates easily with external amplifiers, DACs or CD players for a complete Hi-Fi system.

New Compact Body

The SM90 follows the design language of Shanling’s latest “90” series, including the SCD3.3 and CT90. It houses a full streamer within a compact aluminium chassis, featuring a 1080p 4.96-inch touchscreen integrated into the front glass panel.

Wi-Fi 6 & LAN Port | Increased Connectivity

Supporting both wired and wireless connections, including Gigabit LAN and dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4GHz / 5GHz), ensuring stable and high-speed streaming performance.

Bluetooth Streaming | Simple Convenience

Equipped with Bluetooth V5.2, the SM90 can function as a high-quality Bluetooth receiver for quick and easy playback from smartphones and tablets.

35W Linear Power Supply | High-Fidelity Foundation

Android Global Lossless Output | True Hi-Fi Output

Featuring Shanling’s AGLO system for bit-perfect audio output on Android, ensuring PCM up to 768kHz and DSD512 playback without unwanted resampling.

Dedicated Crystal Oscillators | Precise Sound Processing

An in-house FPGA system paired with 45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz low-phase-noise clocks improves accuracy and stability during high-resolution decoding.

Internal M.2 SSD Slot | Unlimited Local Playback

An internal SSD slot allows installation of an M.2 NVMe drive directly into the unit, enabling fast, convenient access to large local music libraries.
