    Need COAX digital --> analog balanced XLR or TRS converter

    Looking for a media and signal convertor, ideally with level adjustment. Needs to do DAC duties, plus output signals should have the correct impedance and level. I'd prefer XLR out, but TRS could work. I'm looking for something older, which can (ideally) be found for cheap on the used market...

    Shanling UA-2 DAC with iBasso IT01s and iPhone X - interference issues!?!

    After further investigation, I have found that the interference appears to be coming from RF emissions from the iPhone which are picked up by the DAC. I listen almost exclusively during my commute, especially while on the subway. I have found that if I bring the DAC up against the back of my...

    Upcoming Shanling Audio Products - Fall 2020

    I've found that the interference I'm hearing in the headphones is coming from the DAC. I listen almost exclusively during my commute, especially while on the subway. I have found that if I bring the DAC up against the back of my iPhone I can hear noise over the top of the music - like an...

    Reply to review by 'jw2k_fr' on item 'Shanling UA2 Portable USB DAC/AMP'

    It looks like you did some testing with iOS devices, can you recommend a USB-C to lightning cable? I have one from AliExpress which seems to get interference, and two from Amazon (UGreen and Anker) which don't supply power to the DAC. Really appreciate any recommendations!

    Upcoming Shanling Audio Products - Fall 2020

    Thanks for the update regarding gain. Frustrated that I can't adjust that on iOS. Did you read my other post regarding interference issues? I've purchased two other MFi certified USB-C to lightning cables to try and cure this issue - one from Anker and one from UGreen. Neither of them will...

    Shanling UA-2 DAC with iBasso IT01s and iPhone X - interference issues!?!

    Recently picked up a Shanling UA-2 DAC. It's pretty good, however, I'm having issues. I'm listening with an iPhone X, iBasso IT01s IEMs and a replacement KB Ear MMC-X cable (no microphone) (side note - the stock cable for the IT01s is JUNK. Music is lifeless, there's no snap and sparkle to...

    Upcoming Shanling Audio Products - Fall 2020

    So, I picked up a UA-2 portable DAC a few weeks ago, and have been using it with my iBasso IT01s on an iPhone X. I've been having some issues with interference, which I believe to be down to the USB-C to Lightning adapter - I posted about it here. One final question - is there any way to...

    HELP! Recommendations for UE TF10 cable retermination please!

    I bought a custom replacement cable for my TF10s about 18months ago here on the forums.  The seller has since disappeared for whatever reason.  The cables weren't quite terminated properly at the IEM end with the outside sleeving not quite coming down over the collar on the IEM.  As such, the...
