I. Introduction Speaking of the OPPO, what is known to the general public is its mobile phone and Blu-ray video player. Then there are some fans who know about his PM series of flat-panel headphones. However, today's out of the box is oppo. HIFI is a wireless audio decoder. Speaking of decoding, Shaoyou knows that this is one of the essential big pieces of hifi, but oppo used the term “wireless audio decoder†this time, and the traditional decoder made wireless is still rare. Since oppo uses this word, it actually integrates the two concepts of digital broadcasting and decoding. At the same time, it also adds the former function. And oppo by virtue of the relationship with the ESS decoder chip manufacturers, the first to use the latest 9038PRO flagship dac decoder chip, powerful. . . This kind of decoding caught my attention before the Bank of China went public. After the listing of the Bank of China, I could not wait to get started with the starting country. Here are the protagonists of this article - OPPO Sonica DAC. PS: Do not know what marketing strategy oppo out, this decoding only offline store sales, there is no online sales, it can not provide a purchase connection, only that the current state bank's official price is 6599. Second, out of the box The packaging size is not small, YY machine material ING. . . Open the box, first saw a feature of the sonica dac introduction, roughly a few points: ess 9038pro decoding chip, support for DSD decoding, mobile phone APP remote control, Central cattle power supply, support wifi, airplay, Bluetooth, mobile hard disk, NAS audio output playback , pre-level volume adjustment, OLED screen display. Such a multi-function integration is simply a home audio collection center. It can be seen that the design idea of ​​oppo is different from that of a traditional hifi manufacturer. It is located in the sense of collective streaming audio decoding. It is similar to some current hifi headphone systems, but Instead of a headphone amplifier, it is a collection of audio + decoding + preamps. Accessories are very simple, a national standard power cord, manual, warranty card. The front panel can be seen on the switch, function adjustment knob, front volume control knob, OLED screen, external hard disk usb port. Dachang’s workmanship is indeed excellent. Brushed metal panels, knob workmanship and feel are all very comfortable. Compared to some hifi manufacturers, it’s not easy to say that small workshops work. The back panel can be seen inheriting a lot of interfaces, almost is a decoding and a broadcast interface integrated into a machine, you can see the traditional rca and xlr balanced interface, the official description also shows that a fully balanced decoding The network cable interface is convenient for connecting routers. In fact, it can also be wirelessly connected via WiFi. The other interfaces are not introduced one by one. All the screws are centered on the bottom of the machine and one screw is not visible when placed normally Compared to my own independent decoding, sonica is much thicker and bigger because it integrates the broadcasting function and is still understandable. Third, start the connection The following is connected to the power supply. After plugging in the power, you can see the red indicator light of the switch button is on. After the switch button is pressed, the indicator light turns blue after the switch is turned on. The oled screen shows the oppo logo. After that, you can select the connection method. You can output it through usb, optical fiber, coaxial, and aux. Here you choose to connect the PC via USB. This is the rear connection, the cable connects the router, the router connects the hard disk as a simple NAS, the usb cable connects the computer, the rca connects the amp, and the xlr connects the active speaker. You can also press the function selector knob to set the connection source via the network or Bluetooth. There is also a pass-through mode where the maximum volume is not attenuated and can be connected to an independent preamp or amplifier. As a wireless audio decoder, in addition to the traditional connection methods, of course, there are new features of their own. Oppo's own mobile app can turn this decoding into a digital webcast for connecting home NAS and web player streaming media. Download the app client by scanning the QR code on the manual, open the oppo sonica app after downloading and installing. Select to connect to sonica dac You can choose wireless or wired direct connection. Under test, wireless can search for 5G signals. However, in order to connect the audio file at a stable rate, I still chose a wired connection, and then the device will be added automatically. Adding and finishing entering the main interface, the current app interface is still relatively simple, you can see streaming media currently supports qq music, shrimp music and the Himalayas fm, the official is said to be updated later support Netease cloud. In addition to streaming media, support for music playback on local mobile phones, home sharing (NAS), external usb devices, aux, Bluetooth, is really enough. Under the test, the simple NAS system and the external hard disk are all connected smoothly. It is even more convenient and intuitive to use a mobile app than a traditional hifi digital broadcast. This picture shows playing the sound source with a computer. oled only shows the play file format. This picture is played with the app client, oled shows song information. However, the actual test still has a disadvantage that must be said, does not support cue unexpectedly! ! ! Unfortunately, the whole rail of my hard disk is not damaged, but it can only be changed slowly. . . The playback interface is relatively simple, and the demolished voice seems to not support the lyrics at present. I hope the follow-up update can be improved. As for the sense of hearing, this article does not want to say more in the open text, because the new decoding has just opened the sound is not the final stability, and hopes to write a special sense of hearing in the wing after 100 hours, but also compare the next hand I have an independent decoding. Generally speaking, oppo this sound quality, can hear the 9038dac chip hard quality can be heard, whether it is connected to the amp system or the speaker system, the resolution of the transparency of the knot are relatively clear and accurate, the sound goes and I heard before The x20pro using the 9028 decoding is roughly the same, compared to the current hand-decoded nulleepe dac9, the sonica's vocals are a little dry, but because it is only open, it is difficult to say the sound after 100 hours of downtime, decoding downtime changes It's still quite big, so please do not hesitate to look forward to hearing. Fourth, summary This is my first time in hifi products to eat crabs to buy new products just listed, or a cross-border production of audio and video brands, but after the use of out of the box, the overall is still very satisfied. Sonica dac as a big manufacturer of hifi products, the first work is the majority of the domestic hifi manufacturers can not compare, and inherited the audio and video manufacturers special design ideas, the streaming media wireless playback features integrated into the decoding, coupled with powerful 9038dac chip support, in the 6k price decoding in the cost is very prominent. As a fancier at the edge of fever, under the premise of ensuring that the hard quality can be eared, convenient operation is my biggest requirement. If the value-friends are similar to me, eat the oppo sonica dac crab. This is the time to go out of the box, wait for me to take the opportunity for 100 hours, and then listen to the evaluation again.
