Shanling EC Zero AKM

Active Magnetic Clamp

New active magnetic design continuously adjusts it’s position and pressure on the disc, effectively improving the stability of the 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 preference 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 sky-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 cyctle, guaranteeing a perfectly balanced and stable CD mechanism, so critical for ideal disc rotation and audio reproductions.

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@32Ohm. 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.

Extended Battery Life

External Power At Home

EC Zero runs on a built-in 5500 mAh battery, providing total independence and Hi-Fi playback in all places and at any time. With the new audio circuit extending the battery life up to 10 hours.
