Aww snap. I read all about the filters here:I really like this DAC a lot. Like ClieOS said, it brings the guitars and instruments out over the vocals. To me, it has a softer, more analog sound than the UA2.
Only thing I don't understand is the filters.
Apparently I have to pick one. So far, I audibly like Linear Fast the best but I'm trying to find an explanation on Google for each one.

Please check power settings, Samsung has this Power saving mode that can cause issues with our USB DAC/AMPs.New UA5 owner here. Trying to use it with my Samsung S22 Ultra. Music player both the Tidal App and UAPP. I plug it in and get no sound at all out of my IEMs - both SE and balanced. As a double check, with the same USBc cable and same IEM, I try my L&P W2 and have no issues, so not the phone or the cable.
The phone does recognize that the UA5 is plugged in and the display on the UA5 does light up, so it isn’t that the UA5 is dead. It acts as though the output is muted.
Any suggestions?

Thank you for the suggestion. Which power setting?Please check power settings, Samsung has this Power saving mode that can cause issues with our USB DAC/AMPs.
Thank you for the suggestion. Which power setting?
Also please note that this problem does not appear with my L&P W2, and also that the UA5 display lights up, so power is definitely getting to the UA5.

Starting the playback first and then plugging in the UA5 into my phone works… but that really is a very inconvenient solution. Is there a different solution?There should be something like "battery optimization" in battery settings, try to turn it off.
One more thing to try, firstly start music playback and then connect UA5.
Not at this time. It was reported to our software team and we are awaiting firmware update.Starting the playback first and then plugging in the UA5 into my phone works… but that really is a very inconvenient solution. Is there a different solution?

Thank you. I look forward to Shanling deploying a fix for this.Not at this time. It was reported to our software team and we are awaiting firmware update.
@Shanling - Is there any news on a UA5 firmware update that fixes the issues of starting playback on Android phones?Not at this time. It was reported to our software team and we are awaiting firmware update.
Last update from software team, they are trying to find some S22 to test it directly to find the cause.@Shanling - Is there any news on a UA5 firmware update that fixes the issues of starting playback on Android phones?

Ehhh, I'm afraid we have zero knowledge about Chrome books, they are not really a thing in China.@Shanling Any chance you guys can add Chromebook support?
