Compact and Feature-Rich Portable Device
The Shanling H2 is an ultra-compact portable USB DAC/AMP and music player. This versatile device allows you to enjoy your favorite music in multiple ways—whether as a USB DAC/AMP, Bluetooth DAC/AMP, or a dedicated music player with local playback via MicroSD card. It integrates fully with the Eddict Player app for easy access to your local music files.
New Optimized Design

32-Bit Cirrus Logic DAC Chipset
At the heart of the Shanling H2 is the high-end CS43198 DAC chipset from Cirrus Logic. This 32-bit DAC delivers high-quality sound with low distortion, high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and excellent dynamic range (DNR). The result is clear, rich audio with no audible noise floor, even when using sensitive in-ear monitors (IEMs).
XMOS USB Processor
The high-performance CS43198 DAC is paired with an XMOS XU208 8-core USB processor, enabling the H2 to support high-resolution audio decoding, including native DSD and 32-bit PCM audio signals.
Dual-Headphone Outputs and Dedicated Amp Section
The Shanling H2 features a dedicated SG-Micro amplifier section and offers dual headphone outputs: a 3.5mm single-ended port and a 4.4mm balanced port. Thanks to its dedicated amp section, the H2 delivers up to 680mW of output power at 32O through the balanced 4.4mm output. Both ports have very low output impedance, ensuring crystal-clear sound quality.
1-Inch Color Display
The H2 is equipped with a 1-inch color display that shows various functions and settings, including active playback information, volume levels, and battery status.
Impressive Battery Life
The Shanling H2 comes with a 2100mAh high-capacity rechargeable battery, offering up to 12 hours of continuous playback on a full charge. This ensures you have long-lasting performance for extended listening sessions.
