The EH2 can be classified as a neutral-to-warm DAC, featuring tone controls that facilitate quick adjustments to its sonic signature.

In its default setting, the sound profile presents a balanced response characterized by a subtly accentuated mid-bass and a conservatively tuned treble—attributes that align with typical Shanling house sound.

The audio delivery is notable for its balanced, relaxed, and smooth presentation, while still achieving precise stereo imaging.

During my call with EMM, I asked which input would provide the highest audio quality. Most companies would have no problem answering that question since typically one or two inputs receive particular attention during design and development. EMM’s approach, however, is that bits are bits, and the same performance should be expected regardless of the type of input used, and so it proved.

While DSD64 and PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz are supported by all inputs, DSD128, DXD, and MQA are supported only on the network and USB inputs. For many years I’ve had an exaSound Delta music server connected to the USB input on my DV2, controlled by the Roon app. With the DV2i, I can still see my music on the Delta server through the network input but also stream from Qobuz. Furthermore, I can control the DV2i’s volume setting or mute it through the Roon app on my phone.
