Main Interface Introduction
Wired Network Connection
Intelligent Control APP Download
Note: The display screen of this device is used to display album artwork, audio
information, lyrics, artist name, album name, track title and other playback-related
information during playback.
The Silent Angel H1 is fully operated via connection with the mobile APP. Please
download the VitOS Orbiter intelligent control APP prior to use.
The QR code below serves as the download entry for Android devices, which can be
scanned directly for downloading.
For iOS devices, search for VitOS Orbiter directly in the App Store to complete
download and installation.
Before using the Silent Angel H1, please complete network connection first. For wired
networking, connect an Ethernet cable routed from the LAN port of your router or switch to
the network port on the device; the unit will obtain network access automatically.
Afterwards, launch the installed VitOS Orbiter control APP on a mobile device within the
same local area network. The APP will automatically detect the Silent Angel H1. Select the
corresponding device and tap to enter the control page, then you can fully operate the
player for audio playback and all other functions.
Wi-Fi Connection
When the device is already connected via wired Ethernet and paired normally with your
mobile device, navigate to More Settings > Network Settings > Wireless Network Settings in
the left sidebar menu to configure Wi-Fi connection. Once connected successfully, you may
disconnect the Ethernet cable. The player will automatically reconnect to the saved Wi-Fi
upon subsequent power-on for convenient control.
Alternatively, you may set up Wi-Fi via AP Mode without a pre-existing wired network
connection. Refer to the section AP Mode Configuration in this manual for detailed
operating steps.
Note:
Silent Angel H1 must be connected to the network first, and it can only be discovered
by your mobile device when both are on the same local network.

during the NAS scanning process.)
USB Storage
Silent Angel H1 supports external USB storage devices. After plugging the USB drive into the
unit’s USB port, tap USB Storage in the left sidebar menu. The player will recognize the
external storage, allowing you to play music tracks, add songs to favorites, create playlists
and perform other related operations.

balanced input or RCA input of your power amplifier or active speakers.
Set the audio output to Analog Audio Output within the control APP and tap Apply to
confirm the setting. Switch the input source of the power amplifier to XLR or RCA according-
ly; you may then play local music and music from built-in streaming applications directly.

USB Input Mode
When using the USB-B port for input, analog audio output (XLR/RCA) is available. The
connection and operation steps are as follows:
1. Connect a high-quality well-shielded DAC cable to the USB-B female port on the rear
panel of the Silent Angel H1, then plug the other USB-A or USB-C connector into a comput-
er, mobile phone or other devices.
2. Use a pair of XLR balanced audio cables or high-quality RCA audio cables to connect the
left and right channels of the unit’s XLR balanced interface or RCA interface to the
corresponding XLR balanced input or RCA input of your power amplifier or active speakers.
3. In the menu bar of the control APP, go to More Settings > Device Settings > General >
Audio Input Device, switch to PC-USB Input and tap Apply. Set the input source of the
power amplifier or active speakers to XLR or RCA accordingly. Meanwhile, set the audio
output to Analog Audio Output in the control APP and tap Apply to confirm.
4. After properly installing the driver and playback software on a Windows PC following the
tutorial, the device can normally play audio files up to DSD512 and PCM 32bit/768kHz.
5. When connected to the Type-C port of a mobile phone, the phone can stream audio
directly for decoding and playback via the Silent Angel H1.
2. Digital Audio Output Mode
Connect the optical port of this unit to the input port of a decoder or AV amplifier with a
square-ended optical audio cable. Set the audio output mode to Digital Audio Output in the
control APP and tap Apply. You can then play local music and music from built-in streaming
applications directly.
3. External USB DAC Output Mode
Connect this unit’s USB AUDIO or Type-C port to the USB input port of an external DAC via a
USB audio cable.

display language for the interface menus.
Notes
*For Windows PCs, download and install the driver from the official Kaiboer website. Scan
the QR code on the right to access relevant video tutorials and driver downloads.
*Mac computers install the driver automatically. Simply select this USB device as the system
audio output in system settings.

to MIDI prior to connecting the cable. If no audio is heard, reconnect the cable and turn up
the device volume.
*For OPPO, VIVO and similar mobile phones, enable the OTG switch under Additional
Settings before making the connection. Playback anomalies may stem from APP compati-
bility issues and are not attributable to this unit itself.
*To play DSD audio on mobile phones, use a compatible playback APP and activate the
exclusive USB audio mode within the APP.
(Remark: The driver is incompatible with Windows XP; Windows 7 or newer operating
systems are required.)
