Congratulations to you for being the owner of Questyle Audio Super Hub SHB2.

Super Hub SHB2 together with Questyle Audio Digital Audio Player OP2R or update 
Digital Audio Players will build a Super Source System, resulting in Questyle taking a 
huge leap towards defining the future. You will enjoy high-quality music in a simple 
and easy way by virtue of Questyle’s state-of -the-art technologies.

The more complicated the world is, the more concise we are. Simply plug in the 
Super Source System and press the play button, then beautiful music will flow 
around you.

Super Hub SHB2 has a full range of input and output interfaces, supporting USB, 
Optical, S/PDIF and AES digital signals, as well as RCA analog input, balanced and 
unbalanced analog outputs. In addition, it supports professional interfaces of AES 
and XLR that are used in recording studios. It is user switchable between Studio and 
Standard mode. In the Studio mode, the power level will change from 14dBu up to 
20dBu instantly, matching it with studio-level professional equipment.

Super Hub SHB2 is easy to use. It can match with various audio equipment and bring 
you an exceptional listening experience. With connecting the SHB2 to your PC via a 
USB cable, switch the player to Memory mode and it will download the recording files 
automatically and sync to the player, which makes it convenient for you to take the 
recordings along and listen to them at any time. When streaming Tidal, QuBuzz or 
Spotify, your only need is to connect the SHB2 to your PC or a server via USB, 
Optical or S/PDIF, switch it to the DAC mode and it will work as a DAC, then you will 
get much better sound quality from your PC or the server

The design style of Super Hub SHB2 originates from Questyle’s iF Design Award 
winner, which is impressive for its firm structure, smooth faces and unbroken lines 
flowing around the perimeter. Along with Foxconn’s high precision machining 
technique (0.02mm), the whole system exudes its charm of Quest and Style.

Mechanical vibration will affect audio signal processing and sound listening. But 
Super Hub SHB2 will avoid resonance by its special structure and material. The 
player docking of the SHB2 is made of special silicone and pure aluminum, plus the 
stable feet, helping to reduce resonance to a lowest level.

Super Hub SHB2 adopts Questyle’s core patented technologies of Current Mode 
Amplification and True DSD. As the “engine” of an audio system, the Current Mode 
Amplifier is designed with an all discrete circuit and pure Class A operation that 
allows the SHB2 to have outstanding performance and provide users with an experi-
ence of being there listening to the original sound. With the True DSD technology and 
the DAC chip AK4490, the SHB2 processes DSD signals without any PCM convert-
ing, providing the original DSD signal processing. 

The pre-amplifier of Super Hub SHB2 has excellent performance because of the 
customized Current Mode Amplification modules CC630 and CA630. The SHB2’s 
analog output can be set to Fixed or Adjustable. It’s very easy for you to build a 
lossless audio system since the SHB2 has a full range of input and output interfaces, 
plus a remote control. It is user-friendly to match with Hi-Fi amplifiers or active speakers.

There are two versions of Super Hub SHB2, the first is SHB2 (standard version), the 
other being SHB2 Master. The SHB2 Master has a “MASTER” laser marking, and it 
features the ROGERS Ceramic PCB and selected components to ensure the 
ultimate performance on sound quality and specifications.
