It plays streaming services, internet radio and your own music files from one compact aluminum chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eBalanced XLR and single-ended RCA outputs connect it to your amplifier.

Silent Angel rates the XLR output at 129 dB signal-to-noise, with THD+N below 0.00008% at 1 kHz. Four independent power rails keep the playback board, DAC and op-amp circuits from interfering with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eAn XMOS XU316 processor handles USB audio, with dual oscillators for the 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sample-rate families. Six Silent Angel Kmuse op-amps and two OPA1612 op-amps make up the analog stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eStreaming and Local Playback\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe H1 supports AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, DLNA and internet radio.
