Shanling EC Play Battery Powered CD Player CS43198 SGM8262 Bluetooth 6.0 Silver
The Shanling EC Play is a portable CD player designed to take the enjoyment of physical media beyond fixed installations. Weighing 418g and offering up to 12 hours of battery life, it features an active magnetic drive mechanism coupled with Shanling’s proprietary servo system, ensuring rotational stability and playback accuracy comparable to those of a home audio system.
Designed for users who want to combine CD-quality sound with freedom of movement, it features symmetrical conversion via a CS43198 chip, 700mW amplification at 32Ω and a bidirectional Bluetooth 6.0 module, allowing it to be used both as a standalone portable audio system and as part of a hybrid system combining physical sources and wireless streaming. This versatility enables it to play a central role in a variety of setups, whilst maintaining a level of conversion and amplification quality that is independent of the usage context.
Shanling EC Play: Mobile design
The Shanling EC Play is a portable CD player designed from the outset with the demands of on-the-go use in mind. Weighing 418g and featuring a 3450mAh battery, it offers up to 12 hours of battery life, allowing for extended use away from a fixed setup without compromising the sound quality characteristic of physical media.
Shanling EC Play: Magnetic architecture
The playback mechanism is based on an advanced active magnetic design, which continuously adjusts the position and pressure applied to the disc in order to stabilise rotation and reduce unwanted mechanical vibrations that typically compromise playback accuracy in a portable setting. This approach is further enhanced by the integration of Shanling’s in-house developed servo system, which refines real-time tracking and thus ensures precise, gapless playback, even on tracks with consecutive sections where the slightest interruption would be noticeable.
Shanling EC Play: Dual CS43198 DAC
Analogue conversion is handled by a dual implementation of the CS43198 chip, forming a symmetrical architecture that isolates the left and right channels right from the conversion stage, thereby reducing crosstalk and preserving the stereo image. In USB DAC mode, this architecture extends its capabilities to 32bit 384kHz PCM and DSD256, covering all common high-resolution formats and allowing the EC Play to be used as an external converter for a third-party digital source.
Shanling EC Play: 700 mW output power
The amplifier stage is based on two SGM8262 circuits operating in a dual-channel configuration, delivering 700mW into a 32Ω load, which allows for the use of a wide range of headphones, from sensitive in-ear models to those with moderate impedance, without the need for an external amplifier.
Shanling EC Play: Bluetooth 6.0
The Bluetooth 6.0 module operates in bidirectional mode, significantly expanding the range of possible usage scenarios. In receive mode, it supports LDAC, AAC and SBC codecs, allowing the EC Play to be used as a Bluetooth DAC for a mobile source whilst benefiting from the conversion quality of the CS43198; in SBC transmission mode, it routes the signal to a wireless speaker or headphones, making the EC Play a central hub in hybrid listening systems combining physical sources and wireless streaming.
