Review: 音源はSDカード内の曲をヘッドフォン（AKG-K702）で聴くのを主目的で購入しました。一般的なデジタルプレイヤーのようなディスプレイ表示性や操作性を抑えた分、オーディオアンプ性能を重視した設計となっており、私の耳では十分満足できる音質です。そのため本体のディスプレイが小さくファンクションノブによる選曲はやりにくいのですが、スマホの「Eddict Player」アプリ画面から、SDカード内のファイル毎の収録曲一覧から選曲できるので、表示・操作性に関しては使用上特に問題ありません。 このようにSDカード再生には「Eddict Player」アプリからの操作が必須であるにもかかわらず、アプリをインストールした後の接続設定の日本語説明書がなく導入時に困惑しました。まずスマホによるShanliing H2遠隔操作に必要なBluetoothペアリングした後、アプリ設定（左上のメニューボタン）から「SyncLink Controller」オン、表示されたデバイスから「Shanliing H2」を選択、ファイルのスキャンを実行することで、メイン画面のローカルミュージックから、収録曲リストがスマホアプリに表示できました。 Review: The manual is very minimal , but the device is a classy piece of kit . Enough power to properly open the soundstage on nicer headphones and let details of the sound speak for themselves. Addendum to another reviewers comments about Bluetooth volume ,....I believe it to be device specific ...for example I have an old iPod touch version 2 , put the volume at max on that ..but the H2 is at 28 , and very comfortable listening .... conversely I have a small tablet ,( android ) and the same set up volume maxed and I have the set the H2 at about 45-50 to get the same volume ...It isn't the H2 ..it is device to device . H2 via bluetooth Stop / Start ..Next track , Back track via the control knobs and power button ... My Grados are happy , and so are my Distant Mountain cans ... Just wish that headphone jack was more substantial . (Update 1 week of use ) Bluetooth Range : Tablet laying on the floor of what used to be my studio , I can walk around the entire first floor of the house with no dropouts ..into my repair shop ,, sit at the workbench and crystal clear ...again with one other reviews complaint , I believe it is device specific . Huwei tablet ..Foobar 2000 .. Bluetooth to the H2 ...I have no complaints ... Sound Quality ...In some ways I prefer the BT connection to the headphone connection on certain devices , The H2 powers the Headphones better ,.The lack of power on the other devices is apparent in the difference I hear . H2 gets a thumbs up from me . (Another Update ) Using as a DAC Headphone amp through Spotify at Lossless .. The clarity and thump in the headphones is very nice indeed .... I could listen to that all day .The Playlist "Songs to test speakers with " 16 hours long .. Yep.
