Fascinating DAC/Amp transportable thing. Cool connectivity options, nice form factor and sounds like decent power. But why would I carry this around instead of the BTR7? Unless Im going to CanJam and want to connect to others sources? Heres a serious question, will it power Diana V2s?
We haven't tested Diana V2s, but we were quite happy with it on some other hard to drive headphones. But if you really want power, the H7 would be better choice. For comparison with BTR7 - H5 provides much more output power (820 over 320mW). BTR7's audio circuit is using the simpler mobile chipsets and they are fine for these small Bluetooth amps where it's all about battery life, but H5 is much more advanced in its audio circuit. H5 offers this unique option of direct playback from MicroSD card. And overall its additional inputs and RCA outputs makes it more usable in home desktop or speaker rig,.

I have much more respect for you Zeos after hearing the unmistakable sound of Poison 95eq. *The Prodigy are still touring even after the loss of Keith Flint. Liam Howlett has always been the producer.
As an H7 owner I can say, this video made me so upset with the purchase. Didn't think that a half-price product of the same manufacturer could sound the same with the only difference in battery life and output power. Guess I had to go for the H5 as I don't have anything that would require more than a 100 W/32 Ohm.
Same was not able to get eddict to connect. To access single or dual dac feature or additional settings such as gain press the left button down. Single dac makes my hd600 sing. Dual dac works best for multiba iems. Initial testing fantastic sound. Very close to my m6 pro. Bt ldac steaming works from phone and sounds fantastic. Wanted as a dac amp from pc using optical so this works geat and has that high level shangling sound.
I love its look, but the app need a lot more features, like equilizer, firmware update, I just return it today, I'm happy with my fiio btr7, and my other dap's
The application, unfortunately underdeveloped, no segregation of directory directory. The folder is seen individually and in addition music played from the folder is played randomly. When you refine the applications so that the folders are seen in the group.
You can set how you want to play the files, shuffle is just one of 4 options. When you use it with the app, it scans all the music, you can freely navigate it through tags, folders, or just open all the files at once.
I am still thinking whats the ideal use for this. Obviously not a daily commute device. More like a summer house device or a business trip device. Or a very minimalist home setup. How does it run when plugged in? I would be afraid the battery degrades if its plugged in all the time and Shanling didnt do some smart engineering.
The Battery input is separate, so it doesn't need to charge even if you using the USB input. I use mine for a single device desktop unit, play whole day and just throw it on charger overnight.
My friend put the board in his refloat oven and it went a little bit above spec and exploded. So it looks like we're redoing the control board for my pedals from scratch
zeos please tell me have this h5 some kind of deskop mode or bypass the battery or something in software to preserve lifespan battery when is connected permanently on deskop pc?
BTR 5/7 are from when I need to have musinc on the go and H5 is too bulky for the. Next use, is away from home but not on the go; this may include camping, hotel room or just outside your house smoking a cigar and having a coffee, and for that you got Neo iDSD that can be powered from a phone power bank, and now you also have replaceable battery. Bottom line is this is too big to be useful in any way, just like all DAPs.
@@will2073 no, I don't think I can help you with that, however I do sugest you to think about how are you going to use it, and with what headphones. For street I would probably go with BTR7 for sizer AND decent EQ to fix my Campfire Polaris 2. In terms of pure sound quality H5 is be better, but mobile is not for pure sound quality is it? Even BTR5 that is clearly inverior to BTR 7 and H5 is enough for on the go, and that comes from someone wo spend 1000 Euro for a linear power supply alone so I know what it means to go over board for sound quality 😄. Where my H5 found it's place is as a replacement for Neo iDSD. I kept that because you can power it out of 10A Power bank and you can transport that away from your room. H5 sounds better then the iDSD and it is smaller. For street usage I am still using my small BTR 5.
There must be some technical reason why the player mode cant to folders. Shortwave tecsun radios have exactly the same barebone micro sd functionality.

I really want to love gear like this but at the end of the day I am just too lazy to haul it all around, and I just use wireless ear buds cause they fit in a shirt pocket and just work.
I thought this might be a competitor to the new Xduoo xd-05 Pro Hard Nucleus, but that's $800. Although I haven't seen anyone review the new Xduoo yet.
For me, it’s easily the Topping G5. “Groundbreaking” for being able to next/last track, play/pause (which you can do on the connected BT device) and shuffle through an SD is a bit of a reach?
Under current technical standards, it's 2TB in theory. There is limit in the app at 20 000 Files that can be recognized by music scan (for browsing by tags), but it's completely unlimited if you simply navigate by folders from the app.
I remember the H7 review, I was blown away at the price, this is more affordable yes, but in the end it looks like an XD05 with a track change button. I got my TA-22 and I like it, but the XD05 was meh 🤷♂️
What a shame it has MQA's mark of shame in huge size right on top. Topping learned that we dont want thay crap and offers products without the MQA tax, hopefully shangling can too
I've had the H5 for over 6 months now. I can't consistently get it to output to my home stereo or car audio via rca or usb. The SyncLink usually take a few tries to actually connect. The sound via the headphones outputs is decent, but so far it's been a big disappointment. I am currently running firmware version 1.4. I would NOT recommend this device.
So $369 for a unit that the best thing it has to offer is a shuffle function because it doesnt like folders. Thats just laughable no matter how good the DAC is. Oh god my stomach is sore because of laughing so hard.
We will check with Zeos on this. H5 has no issue with moving between the folders and when loaded in the app, you have full access to library over folders, albums, etc.
@@shanlingaudio I think people want the ability to play from specific folders without using the app. That way they could listen to an album or compilation of tracks without doing strange naming conventions on the actual music files.

Does Gryphon justify the price difference??
I could see this as a replacement for my M17, which is currently my do anything device. Seems like the H5 would also be more pocketable as well.
