At the beginning of this year, at the aunt's house, she began to see the evaluation of this thing. However, the same aunt said that Jingdong 618 was busy trying to screen her and missed this. Later she did not find a good opportunity. The transfer is 100% lower than Jingdong 618, and it is time to catch the fish out of the pond and follow the rules first:
One, out of the box and appearance1. I haven't bought innovative sound cards, video cards, and cats for many years (I have over-exposed the innovative modems to expose my age), but seeing this box is still very welcoming, and there are various features on the front and underneath. The top right corner is Part of the award-winning information, the SB-AXX1 multi-core DSP with its eye-catching chip in the lower right corner, the SOUND BLASTER X7, a desktop-class external sound card that once attracted wide attention was also used in this chip:
2, the back of the package is the interface and a variety of application guidelines, but as the country's product packaging is only in English, Japanese seems to be a bit unspeakable, ever-changing innovation is now desalting the domestic market?
3, side, top left corner cumulative sales of 400 million sound Blaster card, PC audio dominance unshakable:
4, this side is an attachment diagram and corresponding manufacturing information, various bar codes:
5. Open the cover and the E5 body on the fleece protection collar is directly exposed. At first glance, it looks like a metallic matte texture:
6, the lower is the attachment box:
7, family portrait, in addition to warranty cards, manuals and other pieces of paper, comes with a fiber optic audio cable, MicroUsb charging / data cable, base bracket and bundled with
8. The family members joined the family, mainly red and black, but this seems to be the esports popular colors set by the ROG in recent years:
9. The positive dark gold character reminds me of Blizzard's Diablo I II. The touch of the knob in the master black color scheme requires special attention. This amp decoding device is also equipped with Bluetooth and NFC functions. There is an array MIC. The next two dark holes on the front of the figure are visible. It is not only convenient to make and receive calls when listening to songs, but also the recording and real-time ear-return effects are quite good, and can be combined with app software for fun. Change voice, etc., this personal praise!
10. The back of the car looks dark
11. Actually there are Sound Blaster dark lines:
12, the side is some manufacturing information, the internal product model is SB1590:
13, stent attachment is quite characteristic side look like this:
14, after the fit E5 can easily stand on the desktop, double PO mouth upward, the main keys toward themselves, use is very convenient, do not worry about grinding machine, this is good:
15. The bracket has an internally threaded opening, which is probably convenient when placed on a tripod for orientation recording.
16. Side buttons, switches and bluetooth pairing buttons are integrated and used by long press. SBX sound effects are single-press mode switches. Both buttons have a circle indicator to know the current status. The gain switch is The lever type, the default is Low, if you push the bookshelf box or high impedance large unit headphones recommended to hit High, up to 600 Euro headphones.
17, the bottom side of the left to right is the number of / analog input, digital / analog output, USB HOST input and charge / data port:
18, the upper side is a huge volume knob, a small sense of damping and there is no limit is infinite two-way rotation, this feature has both advantages and disadvantages; but E5 provides double PO port is too useful, on the one hand two to share, more important On the one hand is personal if you listen to and choose earbud headphones, or evaluation contrast, dual PO mouth is too convenient, absolutely positive:
19, in addition to switch / Bluetooth and SBX ring indicator button, there are three grid white power indicator, but I think 3 grid is a bit small, 5 grid seems more practical, after all, the battery discharge is generally not particularly linear, the last one Ge Liang is difficult to judge for using the remaining time:
20. The positive CRYSTALVOICE symbolizes the crystal-like sound quality that the innovation pursues. The following is the NFC icon, indicating the NFC function sensing area. However, the NFC function is currently too close to the transmission distance, and it is mainly the pairing convenience.
21. The thickness and position of the volume knob are all good, and the adjustment is very convenient. A touch of red is also quite easy in the main black color scheme, but the adjustment damping is too low for individuals to like:
22, began to look at accessories, fiber optic details, now not only some audio-visual equipment, a large number of INTEL chip integrated sound card motherboard also provides a fiber output jack, to the E5 provides a lossless connection in one way:
23, fiber head details:
24, data line details, the red cable is also relatively thick, if it is Micro mobile phone, but it can be just out with a line:
25, boot, switch a circle white light is always on:
26, Bluetooth pairing mode is alternately flashing blue and white:
27. After the bluetooth is connected, the blue light is always on. After the gain switch hits High, it will show a red reminder:
28, Iphone7 perfect match, because you do not have to drag the ugly tail:
1. As a portable amp decoding and integration machine suitable for mobile phones, the big advantage of the E5 is whether it is connected to an iPhone or an Android phone, especially if the USB HOST connection mode will automatically pop up and prompt to install the corresponding app software, but the Google Store Domestic need to over the wall, Apple App store provides for the matching of the accessories is not smart, in fact, only the right side of the code to download a red frame of an app is really applicable:
2, but this paragraph is sufficient, powerful and convenient, the only downside is that the app operation will be re-refresh the scan from time to time resulting in Caton, SBX switch on the app side open and close will immediately get the machine's own corresponding and light off tips, set Various effects will also take effect immediately:
3, a variety of sound effects and feature adjustments have detailed graphic descriptions, very intimate, not described one by one, grab a picture to everyone feel:
4, the equalizer preset effect mode is generally sufficient, of course, you can also adjust their own preferences:
5, the array of wheat effect is quite good, the app can better perform a number of depth aspects of recording optimization and control, but also fun sound change, recorded live or video dubbing is quite good:
6. The menu reverberator part is input and output switch and quantity energy control:
7, comes with the player on the rules are nothing new, there is no digital lossless output options, it is estimated that no one will use this player to sing songs, because all the app sound modification and optimization are done in the hardware side, all native Both the third-party player and the real-time player take effect:
8, the alarm clock is nothing to say the general estimate is no one, ScoutMode in some fps / rts games have enhanced positioning effect, but the mobile phone game basically no such targeted optimization, this feature is more for the PC side, The resource part is not of much value to the mobile phone, so send it out and check it out.
1, decoding amp machine firmware upgrade can reflect the strength and attitude of a vendor for product support, Dafa PHA-2 I started only after more than 1 year ago to upgrade a firmware version 1.23, major progress is the same as E5 support HOST OTG , But there is no USB-powered bug when USB sound card is upgraded. After more than a year, there is still no news. I am also drunk. This innovative E5 released on the market in 14 years has found a firmware upgrade at the end of 15th and 16th at the official website. , Still quite pleasant, but no changelog is inconvenient for users to clearly know the direction of optimization (points displayed directly after downloading the user agreement or the like, regardless of the Chinese and English websites).
2, E5 plug in the computer after running the firmware update program can be, very fast, but then forget to grab the picture, make-up has been upgraded firmware, so there will be a red word has been updated, it seems that the firmware firmware LAB three functions Part of the independent update:
3, then look at the performance as a USB sound card (and the 2000 multi-core X7 desktop desktop sound card DSP core performance as a whole should be similar, separate sound card performance is also very high price):
4, here will choose to install will automatically recognize the E5:
5, automatic update, but overseas server, download speed is slow:
6, start the main interface:
7, function and regulation are highly consistent with the mobile phone app, but the interface is a little different, not to say in detail one by one, PC-side software is actually very smooth, mobile phone app sometimes from the problem of Caton compared to the need to optimize:
8, when used as a sound card, an important item more than the mobile phone app is preset a variety of application profile configuration file, can facilitate the player to quickly select the corresponding application mode file fast load configuration:
9, Scout Mode game sound card enhancement effect is also true for most of the FPS, RTS PC game (because a lot of support for innovative game sound optimization features) has practical significance, open and close hot keys to set their own, the default is empty:
1, Dafa PHA-2 metal, feel and visual texture are very good, but the 6829140mm thicker volume is on the one hand, the focus is 260g really heavy weight ... and then tied up with a big tie ... so in addition to just bought back I often went out to IPC or F886 to go out. I rarely took it out. Why pick up the phone? After using a mobile phone bundled with your phone? ...you can make up the picture
2, E5 size 7422110mm, in addition to slightly wider than the PHA-2, thickness and length are a lot less, although the plastic body is less texture but brings 37% of weight loss, 2 weight difference for the two is to go out Really a great convenience experience:
3, even with the Iphone7 mobile phone together, the total weight is only less than one or two than a single PHA-2 increase of 42g:
Of course, the portability of the E5 is not thin and light.... In fact, there is no special difference between this and the PHA-2. The huge change in the E5 and mobile phone comes from the fact that it can be abandoned. This is the most important. , and later, first to say that E5 has a major drawback, the noise problem:
4, thousand yuan or so powerful features, probably out of cost control, shielding may not do very well, compared to PHA-2, E5's bottom noise is a bit obvious, Low level mute state similar to UE900 this high sensitivity earplugs will be obvious The noise at the end (of course, when listening to music, the general noise is not heard)
5, there is no high resistance to big ears only a while back and forth out of the box L85 64 European 50mm unit, plug in the found Low file is good, the noise is almost gone, but High file, the noise is out, but more than the above UE900 is much smaller:
6, a pile of portable folding headphones one by one, High file basically has a noise floor, the level of the Low file is different, of course, than the UE900 high sensitivity earplugs better
What is the bottom noise? Of course it's not the best, but
7, the thrust problem, the family is the most difficult to push now is a big ear L85, 64 European 50mm unit in the nominal maximum support of 600 Euro headset E5 is actually easier to push, Low file E5 volume is about 40% has been very The decent volume is also enough, about 45%-50% of the street volume is also OK, the dead of night at home 30%-35% volume is enough
8, Android and IOS line mode, but individuals do not think this positioning in the lossless source output, the phone is bound to lose the greatest advantage of E5, Bluetooth mode, not to mention digital lossless source output in the mobile phone also requires a dedicated player support And settings, so I think E5 should not follow the bundled use of PHA series
9, split, split, split, Bluetooth and mobile phone connection is the correct use of this E5, out of environmental noise and energy dispersion and other reasons, there are several people really need to loss of digital source code output? Convenient and easy to use, the mobile phone should be placed in a pocket or bag it should be placed in. The 160g E5 should be placed in another pocket or on the waist (it is recommended that the manufacturer or the accessories supplier have a belt clip). How convenient is it? Bundling is only suitable for the player is not suitable for mobile phones at all, but in the case of E5 Bluetooth 4.1 mobile phones can have quite a good performance and thrust, how many people really need to bundle players and amps out together?
10, battery life: quite a surprise, innovation marked 8 hours battery life, I think it is ideal, after all, PHA-2 is only about 6 hours in the lead in the end of life, and E5 in the Bluetooth 4.1 mode to connect iphone push portable folding headphones C45 and Q460 case The total life time of intermittent 3 or 4 days actually reached more than 9 and a half hours, taking into account the extremely satisfactory volume and weight.
V. Summary1. Non-Hypological Commentary Sounds: Certainly worse than the PHA-2 thrust. The sound of the DAC is slightly warmer than the PHA-2. The low frequency is almost the same, but it seems to be a bit more electronic than the PHA-2, but high. The frequency part is not clear and transparent, and the resolution is slightly worse; the sound individual has always been unhappy, SBX may be very fond of some users, so many people chasing BBE DBB, etc., I only talk about personal listening preferences, opened the SBX It is true that the three-frequency texture and quantity change is obvious, and it will cater to some of the MSG preferences. Individuals feel that, like other sound enhancement modes, they will obviously flatten the entire sound field. It is surprising to eat monosodium glutamate, but there is less aftertaste and more thirst. I'm upset but I'm just saying that I'm listening to sound effects. I don't like to have different preferences. Someone estimates that they will ask. It sounds like the part of the voice is not very good. This is compared with the PHA-2, huh, huh? ..... does this use me to say that there is money that needs to be quickly bought .....
2, advantages:
(1) As a traditional international big brand in the audio field, this product is priced fairly conscience, and sound performance and thrust are sufficient;
(2) Bluetooth 4.1 and NFC function make this decoding amp machine become the perfect match for mobile phone, especially Iphone7/plus with 3.5mm headphone jack, plus measurements and weight control are excellent, with a variety of mobile phones Absolutely more convenient than using the PHA series;
(3) Bluetooth mode connection is very stable and life is excellent for this weight and volume;
(4) As a USB sound card, there is an innovative driver bonus, and the firmware firmware update seems ideal;
(5) Array microphone call and ear return, recording effects are quite good, combined with app and PC software sound effects have many gameplay extensions.
3, disadvantages:
(1) The plastic case does not know if it's easy to get out of paint after a long time.
(2) High-sensitivity headphones have significantly lower bottom noise than PHA-2;
(3) The volume knob damping is too small to reduce the use of texture and easy to accidentally touch the volume change;
(4) The mobile app software often refreshes the device status.
