FEATURES
In-House developed DAC module is a big step for the Shanling audio engineers, creating a modern 24bit R2R DAC that follows the heritage of their old high-end designs based around the legendary PCM1704 DACs, such as the Shanling CD-T300 and HDCD-H24. Bringing this older style of sound to the modern audience in our classic pursuit of the most natural-sounding Hi-Fi gear.
The headphone amplifier was based around BD139 / BD140 transistors and optimised for the High-End full-size Headphones. Offering up to 4.3W @ 32Ω on its 4.4mm balanced output, it can run even the most demanding headphones with ease, while its single-ended 6.35mm output brings 1.3W @ 32Ω for the more modest models. Additional circuit was added for the RCA & 4.4mm Line-out / Pre-out, based around OPA1612, offering the pure R2R output to your active speakers or power amplifiers.
The bigger enclosure also allowed them to add a bit of extra compatibility to the EH2, with an increased amount of inputs. The USB input was upgraded Hi-Fi level to XMOS XU316 module, next to which they slotted both the coaxial and optical SPDIF inputs. And as an extra bonus, Qualcomm QCC5125 brings in Bluetooth V5.2 compatibility for smooth wireless connectivity, ensuring top quality connection with LDAC and aptX Adaptive codecs.
All powered by a dedicated 12V power adapter that comes alongside the EH2.
