From the simple fight of price and configuration, it focuses on design and focuses on the development of user experience.

ã€Unpacking】
As a box lover, every time I experience new box products, I am very much looking forward to products that will bring new surprises to myself. This little surprise, I personally feel that is the driving force behind the continuous improvement of the box product.
The mango music love network box uses black hard packaging, and the entire packaging design is relatively simple. The black packaging gives a thick and mysterious feeling.
The front of the box is a screenshot of the product in the middle.

There is a Hi-Res AUDIO in the upper right corner, which is the logo of high-resolution audio, and this is one of the biggest features of this product.
What is high resolution audio? In fact, on the CD we usually listen to, the recorded sound is only a necessary part, not all of the original sound. High-resolution audio contains many sound information. The amount of information, including "thickness, exquisiteness, depth, and sound pressure level" of sound, is quite different from that of the past. High-resolution audio contains about 6.5 times the volume of audio CD (*). Therefore, the high-definition audio sound quality is closer to the original sound, and you can feel the singer's breath and live music, and other details and atmosphere that you could not hear in the CD.

ã€Experience】
startup screen
The UI system of the mango music network box is quite concise. This conciseness brings great convenience to users.
The only one interface
In addition to the highlights of the main screen, there are four software icons for Mango TV, dFiM music, applications, and U disk player.
Let's take a look at the settings interface, click the icon in the upper right corner of the main interface to enter the settings interface.
Settings interface There are several options for network settings, images, sounds, Bluetooth speakers, cell phone remote control, and this machine. They are relatively simple and do not introduce one by one.
First set up the network, my home wifi, set up a wireless connection, this product supports 2.4G and 5G dual wifi, you can see my home after the wifi name more than a 5G words, enter the password, the connection is successful.
Mobile phone remote control, this is different from the software we used to encounter such as Minmin's network box's Minlian, Millet box's Milian, and this phone's remote control software is used with music software.
Specifically, this dFiM music software can push the music inside the mobile phone software to the network box to play. This is similar to the principle of several WiFi speakers that I experienced before, and the operation is very simple.
Now let's take a look at the main interface of the UI system Mango TV, dFiM, U disk player, application four software icons.
Mango TV, everyone is more familiar, genuine video resources are rich, there are a lot of mango Taiwan's content.
dFiM, click to enter music software interface
Music software has five options: HD library, local music, search, play, and cell phone remote control.
HD library, resources are still quite rich.
U disk player can play videos and other resources in external devices such as USB flash drives inserted on the product. The focus is on video and audio resources. Other things such as APP software will not be displayed.
application. Click to open to see the application interface, in addition to the product comes with the application market, the user can also install the downloaded application in the "toolkit" by U disk.
The top priority is to install a high-quality application market software, recommended application market, rich resources, what software you need can be found in the installation and download.
Downloaded some commonly used video, such as: Aggregation software, such as Tai Jie, HDP, TV cat, vst all polymerization.
After introducing the UI system, I found that an interesting phenomenon is that the background color of the main interface of the system changes with the color of the main interface icon. The remote controller moves to that icon. The background of the main interface uses that icon. Similar background. Absolutely a bright spot.
This product's UI design gives me the biggest impression is simple, there is only a main interface, simple UI design can effectively reduce the number of users press the remote control, the operation is more intuitive and more convenient.
Below I focus on the experience of this product from video, games, music playback and other aspects.
Prior to the experience, use the security bunny software to run down the points. Although the score does not represent everything, at least one aspect can reflect the performance of a product.
Ann Bunny gave a score of 32173, which is still good. There was no box score high for the same 3288 chip that I experienced before. But the next experience will be able to show that scores do not represent everything and experience is king.
The main parameter information of this product
Video test
Performed local video testing and network video testing
Local video test
I tested 1080P, 2K, 4K, format mp4, ts, mov, flv, tp, ape, flac and other formats of video, in addition to the left and right and up and down tp format video can not be displayed, other formats video can play perfectly, and fast In and out almost zero buffer.
Network video test
The network video test is divided into two parts: network on demand and live broadcast. The software I selected is familiar with everyone's software. The live broadcast is the live broadcast function of HDP, as well as the Thaistar and the TV cat. On demand is the Taijie, TV cat and VST all-aggregation software.
Before testing, test the speed of the test
The average download speed is 1.336M/S, suitable for watching ultra-clear resources.
Let's watch live
HDP and TV cat live tests are all good, and the speed of the exchange is still good. Taijie's live broadcast is a little bit worse, and the time of the exchange buffer is a bit longer.
In fact, users who know about the network box all know that the fluency of playing is related to hardware speed, program source, and so on.
On demand
Focused on the test of ultra-clear resources, gave me a good feeling, play smooth, fast forward buffer.
Especially in the latest movies in VST All-In-One, when I used the box to play, it was always a card and I could hardly make it. This box can be played smoothly. These are thanks to the top hardware configuration of this product.
Game testing
With the cool Rubik's Cube gamepad for testing, I selected two games that I personally like to play, the Torrent Speedboat 2 and the Wild Racing II.
Test results: The picture is beautiful and the operation is smooth.
Music test
As a music lover, I have also experienced several earphones and speaker products before. The mango music network box has a built-in WM8740 digital decoder chip. This is the only one I have ever seen using this professional digital decoder chip. Network box. The wm8740 chip has the highest signal-to-noise ratio and ultra-low distortion to achieve the richest, most realistic sound quality performance. As a music box, Mango Le Love also has a coaxial source code output interface and an analog audio output interface in addition to the conventional audio interface. These are the rare interfaces of previous box products.
The box's built-in dFiM music software has a massive lossless hi-fi music library. I simply listened to several songs, and the audiovisual effects really reached a professional level.
Test Track: Tsai Chin "Ferry"
This is a very good audition song, and it is a must-have track for my earphone products. Unlike previous tests with headphones, the test was completely open and the effect was equally shocking. The drums at the beginning of the song are crisp and powerful, and the drums are grand and heavy. Strong dive and full flexibility. The vocal part is transparent and well-interpreted, which explains Tsai Chin's unique voice.
Test Track: "Crying Sand"
At the beginning of the cappella section, you can listen to the singer's breath and saliva, and the details are still good. The vocal aspect is full and natural.
Test Track: "Girl from Osaka Castle"
This track can be used to test the device's sense of hierarchy. In the actual experience, if you carefully listen carefully, if you sing a part of a man's voice, the layering is still very obvious.
ã€to sum up】
As a TV box, Mango L&A, with its flagship version and easy-to-use UI, brings me an excellent visual experience. Local playback and video on demand are very smooth. The viewing experience is good. As a music box product, mango music love has a rich music library and enthusiast-level configuration, which is the biggest selling point of this box product. The same top-level configuration, the same top-level enjoyment, and aggregating together constitute the current mango music network box.
