Overview
Not a phone style streaming player, the SHANLING Pura is a tiny hi-res music player that also works as a USB DAC, amp and Bluetooth receiver. Dual DAC chips feed a combined balanced and single ended headphone jack, and music plays from a microSD card.
Clip sized hardware with dual DACs and a balanced output gives strong headphone sound away from a phone. It holds no music without a card, and the screen is tiny for browsing big libraries.
Who it's for
Audiophiles with wired IEMs and a local music library get balanced output in a tiny body. Streaming service users will find no app support beyond control via the companion app.
Pros and cons
- Dual DAC chips
- Balanced and single ended output
- Works as USB DAC and sound card
- Two way Bluetooth with LDAC
- No internal storage or card included
- Tiny screen for large libraries
- Full balanced power needs a separate cable
Performance notes
Sound quality starts at the dual DAC chips, while output power depends on the jack mode, with balanced output driving harder headphones. Battery life falls with balanced mode, high volume and Bluetooth use.
