Sound Design Distribution Introduces The Silent Angel H1 to the UK

SDD INTROS THE SILENT ANGEL H1 “PURE MUSIC HUB”

Specialist distributor Sound Design Distribution is delighted to announce the

availability of Silent Angel’s H1 digital music hub to audiophile music streaming and

storage enthusiasts in the UK.

Designed to elevate the experience of networked music in the home, the H1 combines a network streamer, dual-mono DAC, and expandable music server in a single, smart, easily integrated box, conceived to transform the performance of and access to music files from Hi-Fi systems in listening rooms and desktop environments.

Streamer, DAC, Server in one

Managed effortlessly via the VitOS Orbiter mobile app, the H1 serves as a unified command centre in a single chassis. Audiophile features include ultra-low-noise dual-mono conversion through twin 32-bit ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M DAC chips and third- generation XMOS XU316 processor, supporting up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM and native DSD512 across all major lossless formats.

Incorporating dual-stage jitter-rejection architecture utilising Asynchronous Sample-Rate Conversion (ASRC), this dual-mono design offers extraordinary channel separation with holographic imaging across all digital sources. In addition, independent power architecture uses a custom low-ripple power supply with four isolated rails to eliminate cross-circuit interference, delivering ultra-clean DC current directly to sensitive audio stages.

The H1’s proprietary VitOS Operating System is powered by a quad-core RK3568 processor with 4GB DDR4 RAM for comprehensive, stable and responsive control while storage and streaming capabilities support local playback from connected USB 3.0 storage drives, external Network-Attached Storage (NAS) and internal M.2 NVMe SSD expansion up to 8TB, alongside TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect Lossless, Qobuz Connect, TuneIn Internet Radio, AirPlay 2, and DLNA.

Seamless operation is matched by setup simplicity. Connect digital audio sources via USB-B input to harness the reference-grade dual-DAC decoding, and to active speakers or home system via XLR Balanced and RCA analogue outputs. Alternatively use the H1 as a transport by connecting an external DAC via USB or Toslink outputs.

Integrated Display

Housed in a precision-machined aerospace-grade aluminium chassis in a black finish, the H1 includes a 5.5-inch HD colour display for metadata and dynamic album artwork.
