Specialist distributor Sound Design Distribution (SDD) has announced that Silent Angel’s H1 digital music hub is coming to the UK.
Combining a network streamer, dual-mono DAC, and expandable music server in a single box, the H1 is designed to marry convenience with performance.
Operated via the VitOS’s Orbiter mobile app, the H1 serves as a unified command centre while being packed with features including ultra-low-noise dual-mono conversion through twin 32-bit ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M DAC chips and a third-gen XMOS XU316 processor, supporting up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM and native DSD512 across all major lossless formats.
Elsewhere, its dual-stage, dual-mono jitter-rejection architecture, using Asynchronous Sample-Rate Conversion (ASRC), is dedicated to each stereo channel, while its independent power architecture uses a custom low-ripple power supply with four isolated rails, to eliminate cross-circuit interference for an ultra-clean DC current, that’s delivered directly to its sensitive audio stages.
It’s storage is expandable too, thanks to an internal M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 slot that can cater for up to 8TB, with, USB 3.0 and NAS Support.
Connections span USB (A, B 3.0 and C), analogue XLR (balanced) alongside RCA and optical, while its 5.5-inch HD colour display allows for dynamic album artwork.
Housed in a precision-machined aerospace-grade aluminium chassis in a black finish, the H1 costs £849.
