Talk about SHANLING Mountain Spirit H1.2 desktop decoding amp machine

H1.2 is the work of the domestic veteran manufacturer Shan Ling, but compared to its national brick products, the desktop equipment is a bit obscure, and can not say which piece is wrong, anyway, is unpopular. It is estimated that Shanling’s gang of engineers must cry, obviously having the most expensive desktop system in the country, but they do not need to talk about the users on the forum. It is really a bit embarrassing to discuss the set of products. However, Shan Ling should also understand that the six-figure stuff is used to support the facade, and the real utility level is still a few K products, such as today's H1.2.

This is not a newly designed machine. Shanling called it an official H1.2 upgrade. However, it does not seem to have any fame. Therefore, H1.2 should not cause ambiguity. Compared with the previous products, the appearance of the official upgraded version has not changed, it is still a long body, the design style of the rounded line is very family-like. The front panel is a black acrylic, scientific fingerprint collector. Fortunately, in addition to the volume of headphones, other functions can be solved through the remote control, the problem is not large.

The decoding scheme is still the ES9016. In fact, the ESS decoding chip can still be used for the first time in two years. The multi-channel high parameters and DSD support are also good. However, I couldn't stand the turmoil of the mobile phone manufacturers. It wasn't long after it was played, and it seemed as if the ESS chip couldn't come out. And now what chips these devices use are all bursts. ESS has now passed AKM now. Well, you know I'm against chip theory, and it's tangled up when high-end machines start to play with FPGAs and DSPs. What decoding chip can only show that we are behind us.


Since it is an official upgrade, it must be changed. This is reflected in the use of components and amps. It is said that they have changed some of the fever capacitance. Anyway, there is no such thing as a fever element. Can you hear it? It's a matter of two things, but at the very least, I feel comfortable. The analog output section has also been adjusted to use what DIY enthusiasts like most—in this case, I’ve asked specifically, the operating point has also been adjusted, and it’s not just an op amp to find a replacement. use. However, for H1.2, things are relatively simple, because Mountain Spirit uses MUSR8920, and if it feels less than admirable, then the original MUSE02 will be directly upgraded.

The increase in the amp section may be more pronounced, but the official did not elaborate on it. It only gives some data. Compared with the previous work, the power is nearly three times larger. The power of 1000mW at 32Ω is enough. No balance of the headset output is somewhat regrettable, in fact, as a balanced LO machine, to come up with a balanced headphone port is not difficult, it is estimated that there is no place on the front panel, which is a common problem of the desktop, but also more and more interfaces There is no better solution than the small size.

There are two sets of analog output at the back, single-ended balance support, balanced output voltage 4.4V RMS, conversion down is 15.09dBU, which is not the kind of low-nothing amps at the same time do not have to worry about sonic boom type. Nothing can be said about the digital input. In addition to the USB, there are optical fibers and coaxial cables. The USB port on the top right corner of the B-type is for Apple products. It can be connected to a mobile phone/tablet for external decoding.

After going through a series of nonsense finally back to the topic - the sound, did not say at first because I think H1.2 is a very special product - I have never seen any decoding after replacing the digital filter like H1.2 There is such a clear difference. H1.2 sound under DF1 is very clean, very controllable, not as full as the WADIA 25, but the win is in a fine balance (the US Department of decoding a lot of this, cheap to listen to the momentum, want to take into account the details can only choose high-end models) . The sense of low-frequency volume is moderate and steady, and it's nice to say that it is Zhongzheng, and it's nice to say that there is no personality, and there is no personality without any personality anyway. It is unrealistic for the product of this price to require both quality and charm, when these two cannot At the same time, I will give priority to quality, after all, what you change the interface wire shock is also very difficult to make a warm paste machine becomes transparent and transparent. The vocals are not much rendered except for being slightly warmer, or H1.2 is a more faithful to the decoding of the record files, and the recording is very easy. The composition of the second creation of the machine is not much. In this case, if you want to listen well, excellent audio files are indispensable. In this respect, H1.2 is similar to a professional machine, and there is no concealer effect of warm paste decoding.

However, such a machine is inaccessible at this price point. A machine with more than 3,000 machines and other people say that how I use my quality is not of any use. It's a good idea to have good compatibility and compatibility. At this time, the DF2 filter will come in handy. After tuning to DF2, the voice suddenly became familiar with many things. The high frequency became soft and dark, the vocals were plump, and the low frequency was loose and thick. Was this description a bit familiar? Anyway, that kind of sound can be said to be the sound of the sound of the United States can also be said to be warm and thick paste, it depends on how you understand. I do not like this change, but I admit that this change is necessary, and with the K701 cheap big wrist headphones really good (this goods are more than 500 are used), do not say K701 low frequency push Does it matter if the output power of H1.2 is not a problem, coupled with the increased low frequency of DF2 filtering, although verbs such as Daci are still not good, it is not difficult to be nice. Of course, if the HD650 is going to use the DF1, then there is a fight between the low frequency estimation and the BEATS.


The above listening sensations are based on INT204+H1.2+HD600. If you use your own interface, the sound will be looser. The difference is not obvious. After all, it is an XMOS solution, and the H1.2 driver seems to be a bit of a doorway, not a general driver. . What's more, this is an integrated solution that is positioned in the low-end market.


On the whole, H1.2 is a very successful decoding amp machine, the format rate support is complete, two digital filters provide different voices, DF1 is a neutral quality machine, DF2 is a sensational machine. Bring your own earphones HD600 such headphones is not bad, low resistance I tried the Z1R and A2000Z there is no problem. The lack of balanced headphone port is a regret but not a defect. The only lack of function is that there is no preamp, which means that some professional brands of active speakers can not be used, need to reprovision the predecessor, although I would like to say The words “Look at the price share” have been fooled in the past, but I don’t think it is necessary. There is no or no. When a professional active speaker is becoming more and more popular today, it’s still meaningful to add a digital or analog preamp to the machine. .


Finally, to answer one question, I see that someone asked what level of H1.2 decoding can achieve, and whether it is stronger than some higher-priced products. This question is not easy to answer. Since I haven’t heard of D3.2's own million-dollar grade of Mountain Spirit, it is not easy to say whether H1.2 can reach that level. As far as my existing WADIA 25 is concerned, H1.2 (DF1) is of higher quality and sounds right, without WADIA's unique tone, but this tone is WADIA's signature feature.

Excluding this factor and looking at H1.2, I can say that its decoding quality is quite high. I don’t know how others evaluate a decoding level. There are two points I like: freshness and density. Looseness is second only. Things. H1.2 density is not bad, solid enough, although he is not a loud machine, but the amount of information is high enough, and the sound is thick and high density is still two different things. As for liveliness, this is a common flaw in all low-end decoding, not to mention H1.2, WADIA 25, SYMPHONY I/O, which is not enough for over 10,000 machines, so H1.2 can only control this aspect. I'm very satisfied with it. Of course it didn't disappoint me. Therefore, from these two perspectives, the sound of H1.2 can be compared with the domestic import decoding of 10,000 yuan. Its deficiency lies in its lack of distinctive features. This is what the domestic manufacturers often lack. This brings up a brand. But there is no way to describe what characteristics his family has. At most it is cost-effective, but this is obviously a long-term issue.
