The fact that you watch and quote Techmoan is absolutely fantastic.
I had to comment when I heard that 😊
Z: quote of the day: 5:24 "...I don't do research....The less I know the more excited I can get"
That is a quote. I obv go over it before the review starts.. But when I am told its being sent. when I unbox and in the days leading up to the table.. I am just an ignorant mass. Relying on my years of experience to love or hate something.
Love your videos
Zeos doing his thing.
Haven't watched the video yet, but I LOVE THAT TAMAMO DESMAT!!
I actually love the shanling app for managing music, but I'm using it with the UA3 so no wireless and the FLAC is local not on the dongle.
I love this dac/amp/dap concept but it's not pocket friendly in any description of the word. Wish it had duo dac instead and a longer battery life too. Thanks.
Dear Z, You could have put a diamond in the tile.I would have less sticker shock. Best, D.
Sony HAP-S1 has a great app 😸
Very interesting this guy at 21:12. Yosi Horikawa. By the way did they come up with your so expected firmware? It was good to see that you have been to Germany. Thanks!
Could the switch mode have something to do with when using it with a Nintendo switch?
Xduoo is supposed to give as a similar size dac Amp with swichable dac modules , beyond the normal for them opamp swaps 😅
Which xDuoo model has switchable DACs unit ?
@@d_dude_is_here Xduoo Xd05 pro. Should be available quite soon.
@@d_dude_is_here seconding this question, I've only seen models with swappable opamps
If you are talking about xDuoo 05BL Pro then kindly recheck as it's a detachable bluetooth receiver and not a DAC unit.
@@d_dude_is_here wouldn't surprise me if a new XD05 model is coming out soon it's been a while last one
Klipsch's new The Sevens & The Nines are out
BEST C/P ration
Z: and be careful with this case included with the H7. I ruined my logitech mx 3s white mouse because of him. The more you touch him, the more he paints your fingers and everything you touch white will also be colored. I had to use a solvent to clean the ingrained paint from the mouse, but I didn't completely clean it. Orange spots. You can't touch anything white. The cover had to be washed 4 times, then it stopped being painted.
was the post on headfi about the bag coloration yours?
@@user-pp3in4mo8d Yes.

Too chonky in both size and cost for my pockets. Howzabout some budget gear Zeos?
I do be lookin'. Not a whole lot twists my nips down there. If you are curious about something speak up.
Ha, dude! You definitely remind me to Jack Black, at latest after "big titty" comment! Haha! Great! Sorry, but I am quite responsive to that kind of humor.
I saw the review of the FiiO k5pro. "I got big old american hands..."
So, subbed!
I think, I will use my old LakePeople G94 amp.
Thanks for the content! Greetings from Germany
Train fire. make sure you are safe. Best, D.
DAC of whole world is in your store....
Why would any rational person shell out $829 bucks for a quirky, works-sometimes-brick, when they could get much better performance, much better sound quality, and a much higher convenience level - minus the need of draggin' a damn cell phone around to complete the picture... when they can purchase a HiBy R3 Pro Saber DAP for $600 dollars less and get twice the peformance, portability/convenience and sonic quality without all the stress/frustration/expense required that the Shanling H7 seemingly provides...!!!??? Just curious...
It works all the time.. The APP is in need of a hammer and a re-write.
Please make a video on a&k kann max
Have you found the firmware update?
They have 1.5 version I just saw.
UPDATED:
Update Notes for V1.5
1. Added SyncLink support for cover art and lyrics stored on MicroSD card within H7. (At this time only supported on Android, app version V2.1.5).
2. Added Resume function for MicroSD card playback.
3. Added battery indicator for H7 into the SyncLink on Eddict Player app.
4. Adjusted audio circuit behaviour, reducing audio cut-off at the beginning of music.
5. Other device adjustments and fixes.
Thanks for your video. I was considering this, as a semi portable but maybe I will choose something smaller than Mac Truck…. I was thinking of the Cayin RU6, until I saw the Earman Colibri then I saw this…..
Can you use other players to control this or are you forced to use their player?
I am also curious about Cayin RU7 comparison with H7 and Earmen Colibri. Want to make purchase decision.
@@Gaurav18nov I have the Cayin RU7 and also the Fiio BTR7. I do enjoy the sound on both. The Cayin is a smaller footprint so a little easier to carry. The Fiio has Bluetooth & wireless charging so it offers a little more in features. Sound wise I would call them close although the Cayin is R2R and the Fiio is THX chipsets. I personally do give a slight edge to the Fiio in terms of sound. They are really close and I do enjoy the Cayin very much. Maybe the clarity in the top end comes through a little more for me personally with the Fiio. But simply as a portable tiny little thing the Cayin is about half the size and does sound lush. My 2 cents worth…. If you can get to demo what you are choosing. That’s the best thing you can do as sound, like taste is subjective….. Good Luck 🤞
@@_OpdeeMist Thanks for the reply, this is helpful. Now this has got me interested about BTR7. Since I don’t have access to auditioning these DACs. I can only rely on reviews and form my opinion.
I have IE 900, and if I have to choose just one between BTR7 and RU7, which one do you think will suffice and sound best.
@@Gaurav18nov hey, no problem.
As I mentioned earlier the Fiio has the edge for me with features and also just scrapes in by a nose on the sound. It’s only a difference in the high end frequency for me. I have tried to put my finger on it but it’s so subtle I am at a loss to definitively answer. If I had to try and put it in words. It maybe just a little less sibilant or slightly fuller in the higher frequencies. I’m not an audiophile, so can’t really define what I hear. I just find the Fiio a little more fuller in the bright tones of say horns and brass instruments. I mean it is only maybe 3-5% fuller, so not a whole lot in it. But I can hear a slight difference.
Like I said sound is subjective. I have not heard a lot of reviews that give the Fiio raving reviews. I guess at the time I found more reviews on the Cayin than the Fiio. I only purchased the Fiio originally because of the extra features and so I would have 2 options if I didn’t like the sound of the Cayin. I have never considered getting rid of the Cayin as it does sound sweet also…..
Let me add this. I only listen using headphones. They both run the HiFiman Arya stealths & Sennheiser 560s well. So, no IEMs. I do like the fact that when home I can run around with my headphones on and plugged into the Fiio that is connected to my phone via Bluetooth. Which offers a little more versatility in portability whilst at home.
I’m not sure if this helps you but, maybe if you can’t demo them. Maybe consider purchasing through a place where they take returns. Therefore if you’re not happy you can exchange or get your money back……
@@_OpdeeMist You explained it so articulately, I am clear now. Will get the BTR7, it seems like good value and has “synergy” with IE 900 (as mentioned by one reviewer).
Thanks again for taking your time to help me out ;)
A pesar del precio y su miserable pantalla me voló la cabeza ...
$829??????? It's worth it apparently.
For Gemstone Shanling Audio Output Quality.. Yep. If this was a full dap it would be $1300
I’ve seen this thing around the internets, where do they get off with the price? Does the same shit a 300$ box will do 🤷♂️
The Amp is pretty high end. The custom screen and control is probably as much as a phone screen honestly. Since they make 10,000,000 of those a quarter.
I wanna see some of the cheap daps. I don't think I'll ever afford a $500-$1000 dap. But the little ones in the 50-100 range intrigue me.
That's what I thought too in the past. Then poof, i just started saving up and got a 500 usd one. Do they close your doors to them.
@@benedicvelasco I just have so many more things I need to buy. I can justify a $50-100 present to myself like that, but when my most expensive headphones are $300, a $500 dap just doesn't make more sense that a BTR7 and my phone.
@Colin Martin my brother in christ stop wasting money
I bought a Fiio M11 a few years ago when it was still new to the market. I only used it during warmer months when hiking or on bike rides. After being out for 2hrs my battery would be around 80%. A year later with the same activity I'd be between 60-65% battery left. I ended up selling after that out of concern over battery degradation. I'll likely stick with small portable amps that pair with my phone for the time being.
@@RYTHMICRIOT u didn't know batteries degrade?
I've been DAC err DAPed sensless then a brain fart told me the 3.5 on the PC is nearly doing the job. So what do I need ahh Fiio Q11. As you said in dactacious dacticlas vid, trim the fat and get what you need. I do not envy your job with so many brain melts has anbody jus got it right?
Don't see utility for $800 portable device to drive big inefficient cans that don't leave the house...for portable driving IEMs or cans for the plane I'll keep the LG V60 which will sound 90 percent as good and will last up to 70 hours (tested) instead of 8 or 10
There was a new H5 coming out last month. With half of the price of H7 but more than half of the qualiy. Build quality is still great, everything is much the same... Still can insert your own SD card, but the power and battery is less than H7. The size is also half of H7, which can fit inside your pocket (Although a bit heavier than smartphone)
Bulky with rca in..wow..better then those ifi..But Fiio with analog feed in..it last 24hrs butter..Anydick beats dat im bat..peace butter
On battery..typo butter
Meanwhile most people are content with their "Stupid Phones" that don't even have a decent amp in 'em. And their stupid phones aren't cheap, either. I just picked up some A1 knockoff Air pod type IEMs and they sound fine, but, there's no juice from my iPHone, as usual. They've limited the power and volume so badly
that you can never get a good volume going. I have no use for this. I need some sort of BT amp so I can at least get some power out of the device. I mean,
when I'm not using my wonderful Fiio wired rig. But I don't have $1000 to invest in this, alas.
Zeos, I think the Chord Mojo Poly and the Hugo2Go is the more "polished" version of this, still not perfect, but I agree is how I would prefer to see portables or movables go forward. Maybe, like with he Chord products 3rd party apps are the key such as MPD clients.
nah this is better, because you dont have to mess around with a hotspot to play of the sd card right?
@@falcodarkzz I have always found both the MojoPoly and the Hugo2Go easy to use from day 1. I Hotspot my phone if I'm out and about, or attach it to my WiFi network when at home. Plus if you use an MPD Client there is no need to stay connected, just make a playlist when you are connected and go. I do think it's not as intuitive to use especially if dealing with IP address isn't your thing, however if you have previously messed with network steamers like the raspberry pi and it's additional hats, then you will not have any issues.
Wow i requested Portable HiFi n u...But if u needy nano portable Just with TWS Nura true pro. IF bigger like iem wired Odin with old q5s tc(THX modules)..Bigger..goes like dis new shanglin dat goes with headphones But 1 tiny winy But big consequenses Led or etc display has limited life time Remember dat!!!Look at my old nokia as collected antique 'Blowned screen' Even store in gd box ori 1, So back to diablo frm ifi..the end..5.3bluetooth stuff we'll see..thx peace butter!
Old q5s tc 24hr frm analog feeds yup battery..Y the .... Cant edit ur comment.
Zeos give me internet points
Maybe
Great video Zeos, but the Shanling seems too complex for the money, to listen to music that I can still enjoy on my 80Gb Ipod Classic, Walkman Pro, or even portable MiniDisc player...............
can we talk about the furnace filter taped to the box fan?
Zeos, friend, turn off\on switch mode, changes the DAC setting to UAC 1.0 (on) mode and UAC 2.0 (off) connection via type-c cable.
UAC 2.0, is bettter, since high USB speed is supported, natural bandwidth and low latency is advantageous.
UAC 1.0 is only supported by a 192 kHz dual channel audio source: 16b (2 x 192 x 16) / 1024 = 6 MB = 6 MB/8 = 0.75MB
UAC 2.0 can support an audience of 15-channel 384 kHz 32b:(15 x 384K x 32) /1024 = 180 MB = 18 MB/8 = 3 MB
so the “Switch mode” ON means UAC 2.0 ?
@@MatusHaw no. Off - 2.0, on 1_0.
New MacBooks have already changed a lot. They can drive high-impedance headphones like hd650 on a really high level of quality without all this junk stuff dac/amp. It's a quite revolution
I think ifi Gryphon is more versatile and has better sound signature (although objective as per personal taste). And Gryphon is much lesser cost
Time to go shillin again.
Im pretty sure if I was Shillin' id not mention all the bad things... Or is there a shitty reason I am giving those out too?
@@ZReviews jk zeos, love u
Still running my old Audio technika E70's with my sony experia 10 IV and I'm quite satisfied. Not interested in gear wanking DXDXDX
Go home
Sorry, but Fiio Q7 is better. I use it with an external power suply and some high end cabels.
And the IBasso DX240 too
Really, guys? Cannot decide which one to choose, fiio q7 or shanling h7... Do not care at all about power amplifiers, just interested in sound quality and wide scene..
@@qa-engineer well, fiio q7 has a slightly more detailed sound, yes. But I still prefer the H7 for its card reader feature. So, it's like you get a 1500$ dap without OS for 800 bucks. A good deal for me. With fiio you would always need a transport device nearby
@@guillermokunzel5171 doubt
The clunkiness of this item, even in your description, is coming through loud and clear so no thanks.
Why give you a SD card slot on the unit but not give you any direct controls? Additionally you can’t read said SD card from your phone either???!!! Did I hear that correctly?
I’ll stick with the Q7.
Try with an iphone.... the Android is crap....
Save yourself some time and money and get XDUOO XD05 BAL job done. It will be in next months yard sale any way
so as usually no idea compared to sound quality is compares to gryphon
