Shanling EH1 Compact Desktop DAC and Headphone Amp

Shanling EH1 Compact Desktop DAC and Headphone Amp

Product Description

The EH1 pairs a curved aluminium chassis with intuitive controls, delivering a compact desktop footprint. It supports both 6.35mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced headphone connections, making it versatile for a wide range of headphones—from demanding full-size planar models to sensitive earphones. Two gain levels and a low output impedance help tailor headphone matching, while the device functions as a capable DAC and pre‑amp. Connectivity includes Hi-Res USB audio with PCM and DSD support, a coaxial digital output (USB-to-SPDIF), and RCA line-out/pre-out. In USB mode, it uses UAC1.0 for broad compatibility. Hi-Res certification from the Japan Audio Society confirms its high-resolution playback capability. Available in silver or black anodising with a dual‑colour scheme.
