Although the TV box is getting bigger and bigger by virtue of Android, it has not been able to stand in the mass market by simply piling up hardware so far. In order to be recognized by users, in addition to strong hardware configuration, it also needs innovative characteristic services, rich resources, etc.

Dingfan Technology launched the "first" Mango Love TV box supporting 4K UHD video and Hi Res Audio high resolution audio in China during the Double Twelfth Festival. The words "first" really attract people's attention, but a word "harmony" reveals some problems. Let's have a look at its effect.

Unpacking and products

Pure black packaging, traditional square design, hard cardboard material, full of environmental protection.

There is a product picture on the front, and the "bronzing" logo on the lower right corner highlights the product advantages of Mango Love.

There is a mango TV inside label on the upper left. In this age of mixed good and bad, it is more like an authorization nameplate. Genuine film and television resources will bring a more secure use experience.

The entire front has the highest gold content, and the biggest gimmick should be the Hi Res AUDIO logo on the upper right corner.

The back is clean to simple, with three barcodes.

The side of the package is the product characteristics of Mango Love.

It is gratifying to note that on both sides of the box are Mango Love's APP remote control QR code and music application QR code.

Open the upper cover, and the black panel of the fuselage should be the most prominent three protruding analog/coaxial signal output interfaces.

In order to integrate the product with the sponge support, the surface of the support is coated with a silver white coating. Although the color difference between the support and the frame is large, it is enough to see Dingfan's intentions.

The contrast between the remote control and the machine body is large, the white shell, the keys are concentrated in the middle and upper parts, the layout is reasonable, and there is no pressure for single hand operation.

There is a button battery compartment on the back. The nail can be opened easily, whether the battery is installed or the compartment is empty. The groove width is large, and the one yuan coin can be easily handled.

In terms of video output, there are common HDMI and analog signal output. In addition, there is a traditional 3.5mm audio/AV interface. Unfortunately, the three analog/coaxial signal interfaces are obviously protruding, which is another design that drives Virgo crazy.

The frame is closely fitted with the body, and no gap can be seen with the naked eye. Only the four corners have slight diaphragmatic response when touched.

Hands on experience

In terms of the system, Mango Love is very strict, with only three functions: Mango TV, dFiM music and local media.

Mango Love has a guide operation in the startup process, including the guide on remote control and network settings.

Sadly, even though the user has completed the wireless connection in the boot operation, the system turns off the wireless connection by default, and the user needs to manually turn on the wireless network.

In terms of film source, it has a legitimate mango TV video library, and massive resources can meet the needs of users.

In some hot films and TV programs, Mango TV maintains its consistent style of charging.

Mango Love is not so much a TV box as an online box with music content. It may be easier to understand this sentence if you remember the Hi Res AUDIO label on the packaging box.

Open "dFiM Music" to enter the music library interface, and the user can quickly find the desired music according to the menu on the left.

"Boutique Focus" brings together digital records selected and recommended by editors. Zone 24 provides 24bit/48kHz, 24bit/88.2kHz, 24bit/96kHz, 24bit/192kHz, DSD and other digital records for trial download, which is undoubtedly a great blessing for music enthusiasts. However, if you like to listen to some popular songs, you may be disappointed.

This is the end of today's first game. Although Mango Love has a strong hardware configuration For a TV box, it is not very playable, but for the existing TV boxes on the market, Mango Love's bigger selling point is that it has a large number of hi fi authentic music library, so for those who pay attention to the sound quality and like hot music, the classic music library of this product may be a new choice.
