ES9038Pro DAC and Powerful Balanced Amplification
At the core of the Shanling EM7 Flagship Lossless Desktop Player with ES9038Pro ESS DAC is the renowned ESS ES9038Pro 8-channel DAC, widely respected for its ultra-low distortion, outstanding detail retrieval, and dynamic sound reproduction.
Shanling pairs this flagship DAC with its in-house developed OP+BUF analogue amplifier architecture, featuring OPA1611-based I/V conversion, OPA2211 low-pass filtering, and a powerful transistor amplifier stage using BD139 and BD140 components. This sophisticated design enables the EM7 to deliver an astonishing 7 watts of balanced output power at 32 ohms, ensuring effortless performance with even the most demanding headphones.
Balanced and single-ended headphone outputs include 4.4mm, 4-pin XLR, 3.5mm, and 6.35mm connections, providing compatibility with a wide range of audiophile headphones and sensitive in-ear monitors alike.

Premium Engineering for Pure Audio Performance
Every aspect of the Shanling EM7 Flagship Lossless Desktop Player with ES9038Pro ESS DAC has been engineered to maximise audio performance and minimise interference.
The device employs separate power supplies for the analogue and Android processing sections, using a low-noise toroidal transformer for the analogue circuitry and an independent high-quality switching power supply for the digital section. This separation helps maintain a clean signal path and reduces unwanted noise, contributing to the EM7’s remarkable clarity and low distortion levels.
With balanced THD+N of just 0.0003%, a dynamic range of 125dB, and outstanding channel separation, the EM7 delivers an immersive and highly refined listening experience. Its premium construction, versatile functionality, and reference-grade sound quality make it a true flagship solution for serious audiophiles.
