Sampling Rate And Bit Depth

Ever wonder how those ones and zeros on your computer magically transform into the rich melodies that fill your room?


The secret lies in a tiny device called a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Think of it as a translator, taking the digital code of your music and meticulously sculpting it back into a smooth, analog wave that your speakers can understand. But just like a sculptor needs the right tools, achieving audio nirvana with a DAC depends on two key factors: sampling rate and bit depth.


Sampling Rate:

Imagine your favourite song as a complex rollercoaster track. The sampling rate refers to how often the DAC takes measurements of this digital track, measured in kHz (kilohertz) or thousands of times per second. A higher sampling rate, like 96 kHz, is like taking a ton of pictures of the track, capturing every twist and turn with incredible detail. Lower rates, like the standard 44.1 kHz used in CDs, are like taking snapshots at a theme park – fun, but you might miss some of the subtler details that make the ride truly exhilarating.


Bit Depth:

Now, think about the sculptor's tools. Bit depth refers to the precision of each measurement the DAC takes. Imagine the number of colours available to the sculptor. With higher bit depth (e.g., 24 bits compared to 16 bits), each measurement can capture a wider range of values. This allows the DAC to recreate subtler variations in the sound wave, resulting in richer and more nuanced audio. It's like having a broader colour palette for building a more detailed and lifelike sculpture of the sound.


Shanling Introduces A High-Performance Desktop DAC & Successor Of EH1 - The EH2

Shanling presents the EH2, a high-performance desktop DAC and headphone amplifier designed to deliver audiophile-grade sound with precision and versatility. It houses a patented 24-bit R2R DAC, ensuring accurate decoding and immersive audio quality. It features a powerful OPA1612 headphone amplifier with BD139 and BD140 transistors for rich and distortion-free sound. With flexible Non-Oversampling (NOS) and Oversampling (OS) modes, extensive connectivity options, and support for a wide range of Bluetooth codecs, the EH2 caters to diverse audio preferences. It is dual Hi-Res Certified by the Japan Audio Society. Shanling EH2 marks the start of your high-quality and remarkable music-listening journey.

Houses A 24-bit R2R DAC Architecture For Highly Natural Audio Presentation

Shanling EH2 provides a patented 24-bit R2R DAC that decodes 1 bit at a time and provides high-resolution audio with low distortion. This DAC is equipped with 192 high-precision 0.1% resistors to deliver immersive sound quality matching the performance of standard Delta-Sigma DAC designs.  

Features OPA1612 Headphone Amplifier With Dual Transistors For Rich Sound

Shanling EH2 houses a headphone amplifier featuring an OPA1612 chip that provides low noise and high-precision audio reproduction. It houses BD139 and BD140, a transistor amplifier that drives low-impedance headphones or speakers with higher power. This configuration ensures signal accuracy and handles power output, perfect for audio or high-power DACs.

Experience Powerful Amplification With Dual Headphone Outputs & Two Gain Levels

Shanling EH2 offers 6.35mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced headphone outputs to pair with various devices. It can drive a wide range of headphones, from full-sized planar models to in-ear monitors. It offers two gain levels - high and low while delivering up to 399mW @ 32Ω for single-ended output and 1015mW @ 32Ω for balanced output.

Equipped With An Array Of Matched Capacitors Offering Precise Power Supply

Shanling EH2 features a carefully selected array of capacitors to optimise performance. Four 100 μF/25V Panasonic capacitors fine-tune the low-pass filter, while a combination of two 220 μF/25V Silmic II and two 225 μF/25V Panasonic capacitors supports the transistors. A pair of 1000 μF/25V Panasonic capacitors stabilises the power supply. The DAC and power supply feature a refined capacitor arrangement for enhanced performance. Two 220 μF/25V Silmic II capacitors complement the R2R array, while four 100 μF/25V, two 225 μF/25V Panasonic and two 1000 μF/25V Panasonic capacitors power the DAC module effectively.

Supports Non-Oversampling and Oversampling Modes With Sampling Rate Indicators

Shanling EH2 supports Non-Oversampling (NOS) and Oversampling (OS) modes, allowing flexibility in audio playback. In NOS mode, the system adheres to the R2R design philosophy for pure audio reproduction. Alternatively, OS mode upsamples signals to 352.8 kHz for enhanced detail and precision. This dual-mode capability ensures compatibility with various audio preferences and source materials. In the NOS Mode, the audio is softer and more mellow for truly natural music reproduction. The OS Mode boosts resolution and dynamics for more focused listening and deeper insight into the music. A vibrant LED light ring around the volume controls visually displays the current sampling rate or DSD format, confirming proper Hi-Res audio processing. The colours and their corresponding sampling rates are:
