The table shows a most important technical characteristics of Shanling M2s
*Center channel is received by data averaging between the left and right channels
Test conditions
- For record of test signals RAA was used ADC: E-MU 1616m
- The difference between maximum levels output unloaded Shanling M2s and input level 0 dBFS E-MU1616m is -11,55 dB (value level for left and right channels)
- The signal was tested with output: Jack
- Was exposed to the level of the signal: Maximum level
- The bit size/format of the test signal: PCM 24 bit
- The source of the test signal: Internal software player
- During tests RAA software-hardware measuring complex was used galvanic isolated power transformer and was excluded the effect of ground loop in the spectra

Measurements of Shanling M2s were carried out by Roman Kuznetsov on the hardware-software complex RAA.
The Shanling M2s test was conducted as a black box test, without regard to cost and prestige. This is the basic principle for making measurements, measurement reports and developing tests in RAA.
I believe that it is important to do not make an absolute assessment of the device, but an aggregate assessment when working together with a headphones and taking into account external factors. This allows you to effectively reveal the potential of the entire set of devices or to make a more optimal choice of components.
