Our take on the HIFI WALKER H20 Ultra Hi-Res Audio Player

The HIFI WALKER H20 Ultra is a flagship portable Hi-Res music player built around an ESS ES9038Q2M DAC with an FPGA handling native DSD256 decoding. It offers both a 4.4mm balanced and a 3.5mm single-ended headphone output, two-way LDAC Bluetooth, and a 4-inch touchscreen, and it doubles as a USB DAC for a computer. That combination of a balanced output, desktop-class DAC chip and LDAC puts it in the same territory as mid-range Android players from FiiO, Shanling and iBasso, though it runs a simpler non-Android system rather than an app store. It suits listeners with wired balanced headphones or IEMs who want clean local playback and Bluetooth flexibility without carrying a phone-based stack.

Questions and answers

Does the H20 Ultra support streaming apps like Spotify or Tidal?
It runs a dedicated non-Android system, so it is built around local files rather than an app store. Bluetooth LDAC lets you stream from a phone instead.
Can it drive high-impedance headphones?
The 4.4mm balanced output gives the most headroom and suits harder-to-drive headphones better than the 3.5mm jack. Very demanding planar models may still want a desktop amp.
What file formats does it decode?
It handles Hi-Res PCM and native DSD256 through the FPGA, along with common lossy and lossless formats. Check the spec sheet for the exact list before buying.
Can I use it as a USB DAC with my laptop?
Yes. It works as a USB DAC, so you can route computer audio through its DAC and headphone outputs.
Does it support Bluetooth headphones?
Yes. Two-way LDAC means it can send high-bitrate audio to LDAC headphones and also receive from a phone.
Is it worth it over a cheaper player?
The balanced output, ES9038Q2M DAC and DSD256 support are the reasons to pay more. If you only use 3.5mm IEMs and standard files, a cheaper player covers most of it.
