EROS H05 HiFi music player is equipped with a nearly 4.0-inch ultra-wide-angle IPS high-definition LCD display with a narrow-edge design. At the bottom of the screen, we see the familiar confirmation key, return key, menu key, and touch keys such as forward and back. The operating system should be based on Android, but it does not currently support screen touch, which is not straightforward enough. , intelligent control through those five buttons combined with mechanical buttons. This is not perfect enough and needs further improvement. You can see the white EROS mark in the upper right corner and the tuning knob on the left, which is more intuitive.

The mechanical buttons of the EROS H05 HiFi music player are located on the right side of the player, which conforms to the right-hand habits of most people. The buttons adopt a round design, including the power button, forward and back buttons, and play and pause. There are commonly used symbols on the keys. See the symbols for their meaning. Between the power and forward keys, there is a player working status indicator light. Through the workmanship of the mechanical buttons, you can feel the meticulous craftsmanship of CNC processing technology. The black interface and delicate touch make you feel the uniqueness of this product.

The volume adjustment of the EROS H05 HiFi music player uses a knob, which is located in the upper left corner of the player. You can see the white VOL+ and arc arrow indicating the direction. Next to it is a 2.5 balanced headphone interface, marked BAL, and the other is our commonly used 3.5mm interface, marked with a headphone icon. Both interfaces are shielded by metal rings, making the signal purer.

The Type C interface of the EROS H05 HiFi music player is located at the bottom of the player. Next to it is a TF card interface. The EROS H05 HiFi music player does not have on-board memory, so you need to insert a TF card. It supports up to 512G and plays master-level and DSD-level audio. It is indeed better to have larger storage. This Type C interface can not only charge the player, but also serve as a medium for data exchange, and can also be used as a digital coaxial output interface. The EROS H05 HiFi music player has a built-in 3000mAh high-capacity lithium battery, which can provide long enough battery life to meet the user's music listening needs.

On the lower edge of the left side of the EROS H05 HiFi music player, there is a white label with the product model H05, the product name HIFI music player, and the charging voltage and current 5V1A.

The back of the EROS H05 HiFi music player is a glossy surface and is slightly prone to wear and tear.

It has the website address of EROS and a stamped SLOGAN, focusing on sound! Very Chinese characteristics! Build a national brand and produce good products for the people!

EROS H05 HiFi music player has multiple homepage styles. The street mode displayed is a bit like a list, but the menu on the right and different interfaces are selected with different English names. It looks like It’s also cooler. Coupled with this IPS display and the exquisitely carved CNC interface, the EROS H05 HiFi music player feels very stylish and tasteful in your hand.

Another homepage style is display. This method is a bit like a display, dividing the icons into equal areas. With this kind of interface, I personally feel that I always have the urge to touch it with my fingers. It is a pity. The screen does not support touch.

The playback settings of a music player directly affect the comfort and convenience of use. In the playback settings of the music player of the EROS H05 HiFi music player, we can see many familiar options. The first is the playback mode. The most commonly used one is sequential playback. In addition, there are random playback, single loop and list loop. . In addition, we also saw the EQ equalizer. After entering, we saw eight options: rock, classical, jazz, pop, dance, vocal, sentimental and off. You can define your own sound effects and freely control your favorite music. In addition, you can see high and low gain, LR rise to balance, digital filter, and maximum and initial volume settings. These settings are very practical.

Through file browsing, you can select your favorite songs. I follow the CD standard. A folder is basically a CD. Playing it in sequence is just like listening to a CD. EROS H05 HiFi music player supports mainstream lossless audio, such as DSF, DFF, which are two types of DSD, as well as APE, FLAC, etc. In addition, it also supports WAV, AAC, WMA, etc. Some WMA or WAV files are very large at the master level. Fortunately, the EROS H05 HiFi music player can perfectly decode DSD hard and maintain the original sound quality of the master tape.

Select this music and click OK to play it. When playing, the format of the file and the sampling rate of the music will be displayed. For example, the one you are listening to is in DSD format. Seeing the sampling rate of 2822.4KHz, the bitrate of 1bit, and the bitrate of 4456kbps, through these parameters, you can roughly judge the sound quality of the file. 44KHZ is already the sound quality of CD, 48KHZ is the sound quality of DVD, and 2.8224MHz corresponds to DSD.

EROS H05 HiFi music player also has a system setting to set system parameters. You can set the language, fonts, screen saver, brightness and backlight time, etc., and also perform firmware upgrades.

EROS H05 HiFi music player uses the professional-grade DAC decoding chip ESS9038Q2M, which supports mastering-level audio and has high bit rate fluency and resolution, regardless of lossless DSD-level mastering. Whether it is a tape, a master tape in FLAC format, or a WAV format, they are all very smooth and there are no stutters. I often use different headphones according to my mood. Sometimes I like big-ear headphones, and sometimes I like in-ear headphones, so they have different impedances. Fortunately, the driving force of the EROS H05 HiFi music player is strong enough to handle all kinds of headphones.

The sense of hearing is not metaphysics, but a real feeling. But the preference for sound is a very personal thing, and everyone has different preferences. But the sense of hearing is more or less affected by headphones. Then choose DM7 of DSD files and BGVP to experience it. The space and layers are delicate, the bass is thick and steady, the dive depth is low, the treble is graceful, natural, full and delicate, and the midrange is natural, continuous and full of variety. Good control, strong analytical power, clear details and clear layers. When it comes to sound quality, I think of some things. We have been pursuing the ultimate. In fact, it is not really the ultimate. These extremes will also be continuously broken through. If there are three thousand things in the weak, just take one scoop and choose the one that suits you. As long as you can afford it, you can still enjoy the ultimate music by choosing matching products.
