Very nice design. A little bit anemic on the output power front.

Good question about MSRP. I'm guessing it'll be around $300 but will check in with Shanling and update the first post.

As far as competition for the Oppo, the H3 one-ups the HA-2 with Apt-X Bluetooth support. I've been using that with my iPhone

Better be around $299, otherwise people will buy oppo.

No offense intended, but have you heard the H3? I'm curious what's driving your statements. I haven't heard the HA-2 yet and have no basis to judge one versus the other.

I think he's speaking about name recognition... people usually choose the established brand over a newcomer unless there's a good reason.

Nope sorry, didnt hear H3 yet but you know oppos sounds really good, you name it, cd players, amps, dacs are all in the top notch. If Shanling wants to take over some of the marketshare they better be better than oppo and cheaper, just saying.
 
This is for them, not for me, and I hope to hear it one day.

Is it iOS compatible?

Is it iOS compatible?

Yes, with the CCK and as long as you turn on the H3 first. If you plug in with H3 off, you get the "too much power" warning. Plug in after turning it on, and everything's good.

Thanks!
 
I really wonder how does it compare to say C5DAC or HA-2

I understand. The Android/iOS Amp/DAC competition is fierce right now with Cayin, Onkyo, Oppo, Teac, etc. throwing their hats in the ring.

Well, I just happen to have H3 and C5 DAC right now and will be comparing them soon :wink_face:

I'll probably get to that next week. This week has been focused on the upcoming RHA T20.
