Shanling has once again raised the bar in the world of compact audio equipment with its latest release, the Shanling EH2. This innovative device combines a state-of-the-art R2R DAC and a powerful headphone amplifier, all packed into a sleek and compact design, priced at an accessible $369.

Building on a Legacy: The Shanling EH1

The Shanling EH1 marked the beginning of a new era in Shanling’s compact desktop line, offering audiophiles a simple yet effective DAC with an integrated headphone amplifier at a reasonable price. However, the team was determined to push the boundaries further. Thus, the EH2 was conceived as a more advanced, powerful solution that still adheres to the ethos of straightforward functionality without unnecessary complications.

A Design That Fits Your Space

While the EH2 retains the elegant aluminum chassis of its predecessor, it features a design that is twice the depth, making it a perfect fit for any desk setup. This thoughtful design ensures that it not only performs well but also looks good while doing so. The front panel is equipped with tone controls for Bass and Treble adjustments, allowing users to tailor their listening experience to their personal preferences.

Revolutionary In-House DAC Module

At the heart of the EH2 is an in-house developed 24-bit R2R DAC module, a significant advancement crafted by Shanling’s audio engineers. This modern DAC draws inspiration from Shanling’s high-end legacy, particularly the revered PCM1704 DACs found in models like the Shanling CD-T300 and HDCD-H24. The EH2 aims to deliver the rich, natural sound that audiophiles crave, bridging the gap between classic audio design and contemporary technology.

Unmatched Headphone Amplification

The EH2 is not just a DAC; it is also equipped with a powerful headphone amplifier based on the BD139 and BD140 transistors. It is optimized for high-end, full-size headphones, boasting an impressive output of up to 4.3W at 32Ω through its 4.4mm balanced output. This means it can effortlessly drive even the most demanding headphones. For those with more modest models, the single-ended 6.35mm output delivers a robust 1.3W at 32Ω.

Enhanced Connectivity Options

The larger enclosure of the Shanling EH2 facilitates enhanced connectivity options. The USB input has been upgraded to a high-fidelity XMOS XU316 module, flanked by both coaxial and optical SPDIF inputs. Additionally, the EH2 features Bluetooth V5.2 compatibility, powered by the Qualcomm QCC5125 chip, ensuring seamless wireless connectivity with support for LDAC and aptX Adaptive codecs. This allows for high-quality audio streaming without the hassle of wires.

Powering Your Audio Experience

To ensure optimal performance, the EH2 comes with a dedicated 12V power adapter, providing the necessary power to drive its advanced features and components.

Availability

The Shanling EH2 is set to hit the shelves at Shanling distributors around mid-December, offering audiophiles an exciting opportunity to enhance their audio experience with a compact, powerful, and beautifully designed DAC and headphone amplifier.

In conclusion, the Shanling EH2 represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of high-fidelity audio. With its advanced R2R DAC, powerful amplification, and thoughtful design, it is poised to become a staple for music lovers seeking top-quality sound without compromising on space or style.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
