Strong DAC and build quality for lossless listening, but budget for a Rockbox install if the stock menus feel limiting.

Overview
A dedicated lossless MP3 player built around an ESS ES9018K2M DAC, shipped with a 64GB card and support for cards up to 512GB. Zinc alloy housing with physical buttons and a scroll wheel targets listeners who want an iPod-classic-style device for FLAC and DSD files.
The H2 separates itself from phone-based listening by pairing a dedicated audio DAC with a metal body and scroll-wheel navigation instead of a touchscreen. A recurring theme in feedback is that the stock software is a weak point many owners work around by installing the third-party Rockbox firmware.
- ESS ES9018K2M DAC with 107dB SNR
- Bluetooth 5.2 transmit and receive with aptX
- 64GB card included, expandable to 512GB
- Zinc alloy body with scroll wheel controls
Who it's for
Suits an audiophile who wants a distraction-free player for FLAC, DSD or other lossless files and is comfortable installing Rockbox if the stock menus feel limiting. Less suited to anyone who wants polished default software or reliable long-range Bluetooth streaming out of the box.
Pros and cons
- ESS DAC sound praised by longtime audiophiles
- Solid zinc alloy body survives drops well
- Physical buttons make blind navigation easier
- Stock menu only sorts by artist or album
- Bluetooth range is short and drops out
Performance notes
The 64GB included card plus support up to 512GB covers large lossless libraries, rated for roughly 14,999 songs.
