Time:2021-01-12

Speaking of Shengya, it should be the representative of China's gallstone integrated power amplifier. Although it is not the earliest audio brand in China, it can be said to be the most representative brand of Chinese audio. Since its establishment in 1991, Shengya Audio has won the trust and support of a batch of customers with its creative design concept, sincere and enthusiastic service attitude, aggressive entrepreneurial spirit, and honest and trustworthy corporate reputation. Shengya is also working hard to convey the beauty of music to every music lover!

Shengya, the most impressive thing for many people is his gallstone amplifier. Whether it is a combined design or a split design, it always gives people a kind of enjoyment, until his Black Armor power amplifier--A203 combined power amplifier Only when it appeared, many people discovered that the original sound-ya transistor amplifier can also be so good. Up to now, the combined power amplifier of Shengya is still based on the combined design of gallstones, and the black armor is based on the split design. CD player We can see that there are mainly five CD players on the market, and most of them use tube output or gallstone mixed output. The CD-1CD player recommended for you today is the latest flagship version of Shengya. Record player.


In fact, about this CD player, the first impression I saw was the end of 2017. At that time, the player was still an engineering prototype, and it was only shown at the exhibition. I remember that the CD player was paired with his CS-6 gallstone hybrid preamplifier, PSM-500 mono postamplifier, and the speakers were Dynaudio C4.

The Shengya CD-1, although most of the appearance is still mainly black, it is quite different from the previous Shengya CD player. This CD player looks more atmospheric, if it is placed on the rack. Not to mention the brand, it is hard to believe that this is a domestic product, with a domineering vibe under the exquisite appearance. The feet of the CD player adopts four-point pointed feet to have a positive effect on the balance of the chassis and the attenuation of external force vibration. The chassis structure is all aluminum alloy design, which can effectively reduce the resonance frequency and improve the sound quality. . In terms of output design, Shengya still chooses two output modes for this CD-1, which are FET audio output and tube audio output; it is convenient for users to choose one of the output modes according to different equipment or software. . The FET's Class A current output makes the low frequency more deep and powerful, the sound field is broad, and the dynamics are powerful. The electronic tube audio output adopts the imported Czech JJ bile duct ECC82, the sound is beautiful and pleasant, especially the human voice is natural and friendly.

This CD player uses Philips' professional high-performance VAM1250 movement, and is equipped with a highly integrated CD7-II digital servo IC, which makes the machine more accurate in reading discs, stronger in error correction, and better in shock resistance. The digital and analog conversion chips are the latest decoding chip PCM1792 of Burr-Brown Company in the United States. The chip has 24bit conversion accuracy and 192KHz sampling frequency, which can accurately restore every detail of music. In addition, to ensure conversion accuracy, an independent active clock is especially used. The analog signal amplification adopts the high-precision, high-speed operational amplifier OPA627, OPA2134 and OPA2604 of Burr-Brown Company. At the same time, it is equipped with a well-known third-order GIC low-pass filter, which can effectively filter out the interference noise of the digital signal and make the audio signal more pure. The other four high-flux, low-leakage R-shaped transformers are used for core power supply, high voltage power supply, filament power supply, and analog power supply to ensure that each working circuit does not interfere with each other. As the flagship model of Shengya, it is naturally very sophisticated in the terminal blocks. XLR uses Swiss imported terminals and RCA terminals use German WBT imported high-end products to ensure beautiful sound quality and durable performance. The power cord is American XLO ( Supreme) High-quality wires are very helpful for sound field positioning, depth, width, airiness, and control.



Today I paired this CD-1 flagship CD player with a famous hard-to-push master in the industry-the British ATC SCM2S (signature version) bookshelf speakers. The power amplifier part is Shengya PSM-500 mono rear stage, and the front stage uses Shengya's own CS-6 flagship gallstone hybrid front stage. The wire is the British shark blue ocean luxury RCA signal cable, the connection between the amplifier and the speaker is a two-wire split, the bass part is Tianxian with Super (super series) speaker cable, and the middle and high frequency part is British Shark Blue Ocean Luxury speaker cable, the front and rear stages are connected with AH AR1 signal cables from Japan. The power cord of the CD player is the bull shark power cord of the British Shark's reference series. The front stage is the SINE flagship power cord "Zeus", and the mono rear stage is a specially customized Casio 2.5m length power supply. line. The SINE (sine) MEGA X flagship power sub-socket is used for the power supply of the mono rear stage, and the bus is the power bus of the newly developed PHASE Shennong series in China.

The first one to play is my favorite Guqin. Guqin, as a classical Chinese musical instrument, its performance is awesome, but its sound effects are not comprehensive. But I don’t think so. When we savour it carefully, you will find that there are actually many things in the guqin that we have not discovered.


Shengya CD-1 plays the 1:1 direct engraving version of "Qin·Qi" produced by Hongyintang Records. It is obvious that many details are very prominent. Many people think that women playing guqin are much less powerful than men. But here you can hardly feel that every time she plays is so full of momentum. Especially "Guangling San", because of her performance, I like it. That kind of shocking, weeping gigantic performance is definitely not something that ordinary guqin players can bring to us. Also when experiencing this piece of music, many people also think that the British ATC speakers have not been very prominent in the treble, and they seem to be very dark. In fact, it is not. A good pair of speakers has a balanced requirement for the three frequency bands instead of highlighting a certain One point, so when you listen to "Guangling San" through it, you will not hear the harsh high frequencies, and you will not be confused by the beautiful and charming high notes. At the same time, we also used the Shanling T3.2 CD turntable with M3.2D/A decoder to experience "Guangling San". The feeling here is completely different from that of the Shengya CD-1. Shanling T3.2 is equipped with M3.2. It looks delicate, has a better sense of hierarchy, and has a kind of sophistication. After listening to "Qin·Qi" for a long time, I feel that the best way for Guqin to us is to meditate and feel its beauty quietly. The replay of CD-1 is more of a kind of softness, euphemism, but There is a larger aura in it, so you won't feel the boring of Guqin.


Terak’s "Ein Straussfest", many people may not know the English name of this album, but when it comes to "Sequoia", many people know it too well. This album is for audiophiles and friends who like classical music. So that's one hand. This "Sequoia" has been well received since it came out in 1985, not only because it is the music of the Strauss family, but also because it is easy to understand. It can be said that the music in this CD record is not only easy to hear and undiscussed, but also has a lot of super special sound effects that you have never enjoyed. The music is brisk and gorgeous, beautiful and smooth, and the rotation is exciting, and the bursting effect that appears from time to time in the cheerful melody is even more unexpected, illusory and true, enough to make all the listeners of men, women and children stunned and full of joy. Of course, there are not many people who have been led into the door of fever by the sound of explosions and pistol fires, and the speakers have been burned out because of these. You must know that it is a horn killer! However, we are not afraid of this audition. We must know that there are not many amplifiers that can push ATC 20S bookshelf speakers. Although Shengya Audio currently cooperates with ATC, many audiophiles still do not believe that Shengya can put these speakers The push was decent, so I could only get in a little bit. Of course, the opening is still the fourth "Banditen Galop" of "Sequoia". The opening sound of this track is a powerful dynamic force. If you can play this track clearly, you can say that there are many music behind it. under. For the ATC 20S, this speaker uses a bullet-proof cloth cone, and the wiring method is changed from the single-line crossover of the ATC 20 to the two-line crossover. The sensitivity is still very low, only 83dB, which can be said to be based on many current amplifiers. It is difficult to drive it. ATC is also an 83dB SCM 7 (commonly known as Xiao 7). In order to promote this pair of small and exquisite bookshelf speakers, it took a lot of effort to carefully adjust the tripod to the rack and even the power amplifier, signal source, and wire. The tripod uses the S500 tripod S500, which is an agent of Changye Audio. The power amplifier is Shengyun, a famous domestic digital player and class D amplifier brand. The wire is made of TAD two-wire split speaker wire and other brand wires. The match makes this pair of SCM 7 (commonly known as Xiao 7 Zai) has a pretty good voice. As for the replay of my system, I tried my best to do it well, but even so, I found that the replay of "Sequoia" is generally good at high and mid frequencies, with good layering, clarity and suppleness. And aesthetics is also very pleasant. The low-frequency performance is clearer than the single-line crossover, the dynamic feeling is better, the natural strength is also better, and the control should be said to be relatively good. I think the only thing missing is the 12th "Sequoia", as a small speaker Said that it is indeed a little bit worse, and it is impossible to replay the last shot of the cannon in place, which should be said to be the shortcoming of all small bookshelf speakers.


Next, listen to the "Out of the Window" album produced by a domestic record company. "Outside the Window" is a new album by the famous Chinese pianist Gao Ping. It includes four sketches. The title of each song is: I. On the road II. The chorus of fireflies III. Cloud IV. Rubber band jumping. At the press conference of this album, composer Gao Ping talked about in childhood memories, interesting things always seem to happen outside the window. Especially in those moments of helplessness when I have to do homework and practice piano, my mind is easy to fly out of the window. This feeling doesn't seem to have changed when I grow up. Outside the window always means fantasy, liberation and freedom. And this work is dedicated to all the innocent people by the composer. From the recording, if you listen to this album carefully, you may think that its recording is not the best, but in the overall performance level through this system, you can clearly feel that it belongs to the absolute first-class performance. The sound is sonorous and powerful. As the flagship CD player of Shengya, the performance of the Shengya CD-1 should be said to be remarkable. When the transistor output mode is adopted, the sound is clearly clear and transparent, gorgeous and elegant; the tube method is more soft and smooth Ze, elegant and charming. The keys of the piano are also slightly different. When the transistor is output, the keys are thrown to the ground; the keys of the tube output seem to be a little softer when the keys are dropped. Of course, no matter what, it should be said that "Outside the Window" is so nice here, every detail must be clear, and the exquisiteness is also very impressive. Many people say that the high and intermediate frequencies of ATC are not very good, but in my opinion, it should be more about matching and overall adjustment.


After listening to the guqin and experiencing Western music, let us enjoy the performance of human voice again. Regarding the evaluation of vocals, it can be said that everyone has their favorite singer, and I, naturally, the same is true. "Autumn Night" is not the top domestic recording in terms of recording, but in terms of singing technique, this album The singing can be said to be very good. The taste of jazz is very strong, it can be said to be an album of jazz singing. ATC's steamed bun midrange is a favorite taste of many people, so this time it was broadcasted to raise people's interest. The beauty and gentleness are self-evident. Fei Xing's slightly magnetic voice is indeed It was charming, but the sound did not really like the two friends present at the time. Perhaps it was because I used a neutral wire, and the sound lacked the delicate and thick female voice they liked. Here is more of a real, natural, and a little relaxed feeling. Listening to Yuki Koji’s "Burgundy Heart" , the second and fifth songs were played respectively. To be fair, this system did not really replay this CD record perfectly, but it can only be said to be relatively good. We often say that the mid-frequency of the human voice is delicate and euphemistic, but don't get greasy, it is more of a fresh and elegant feeling. The tooth tone is more accurate and the overtone is better. Through this system, Tamaki Koji’s "Burgundy Heart" should be said to be more of the rich mid-range, good overtones, light and softness, giving people a unique magnetism for a male voice. Although the high frequency extension is not very high, it does not have the harsh and overly beautiful feeling caused by straight up and down.

Many of the friends I have come into contact with are more of only listening to audio, rather than really listening to music, so I always feel that doing so is sacrilegious to audio. I have also talked with some friends who like music. In fact, they still have certain requirements for audio. It is not that you can listen to music casually. It still needs some good audio to perfectly replay the music itself. But in the face of audio, when they chatted with some so-called audiophiles, they found that they didn’t know much about music. They didn’t know much about folk music or classical music, so they were often unwilling to put more effort on audio. .

On-site match: British ATC SCM2S (signature version) bookshelf speakers, Shengya's own CS-6 flagship gallstone hybrid preamp and Shengya PSM-500 mono post stage


For this audition, I specially invited a few friends who mostly like music. They are also the first time to experience such a nice sound system. Before, they always thought that the domestic audio system was just so ordinary, but after listening to them, they realized that the domestic products can be so exciting. It is also quite comfortable to promote this pair of ATC 20S (signature version) speakers from the UK. Readers, if you have the opportunity, may wish to listen to and experience the harmony of the sound and ATC 20S (signature version). Of course, the matching of surrounding auxiliary facilities is also very important! !
