In terms of the application of electron tubes, its electron tubes are mainly used in the front-end part, followed by a transistor operational amplifier, so the overall signal-to-noise ratio of the whole machine can be achieved, including maintaining the boldness while increasing the thrust. Itâs also large enough. Even when turned on to the tube mode, my two reference plugs are pushed very full. Itâs still plump and has a good sense of space, especially if youâre worried about the âshanling smellâ being too strong. You donât have to worry about the direction of this machine at all. Its foundation is much more popular than the M8/M9. It doesnât suppress high-frequency brightness, nor is it made too thick, nor is it too thick to be too warm. I think it is more suitable for the mainstream market. It's a machine that makes good use of the characteristics of the tube while I like it.

After listening to the sound of the tube mode, the warm and rich line is more obvious. The low frequency is very solid and meaty, but not too aggressive and violent. The high frequency has excellent control, the high frequency of the instrumental music is smooth and the pop soundtrack is smooth. The listenability is excellent, the vocals are not too smeared due to the warm sound direction, and the mouth shape clarity and sibilance control are very good. It is a very nice new product, I like it.

The sound in transistor mode is full and the sound field is not large, but the line sense is well controlled. It can be said that the sound is somewhere between the warmth of M8 and the rationality of M9. After turning on the tube, there will be a little smearing feeling, but the flavor is enhanced and the texture is denser.

The sound of the M8T DAP is soothing and moist. It is not the type where the texture is as thin as a needle and the instrumental lines are like sketches. In terms of the most iconic mid-frequency vocals, we can easily hear the mellowness that Shanling has always had. , thanks to the polishing of the tube, the singer's tail tone will be polished to be very round and delicate. When listening to pop music and folk vocals with M8T, the lyrics and melody are slowly pushed into the ears by the conveyor belt of "emotion". M8T is not a fast-paced sound source that emphasizes and is good at transient performance. A more suitable adjective is probably: quiet and good.

It was listenable but you could the struggle, especially on the bass and sub bass.
