In the Dragonfly thread, some say the CCK2 also does not work any longer, only the newer recently firmware-updated CCK3.

Just received my shanling up today, along with a pair of flc 8s iems. The up is working fine with my stock rom Nexus 6p, plug and play, worked immediately with no fiddling.

There are occasional millisecond drop outs... Dunno what's up with that. Seems to happen when the phone is in my pocket, maybe the USB c to USB c cable is getting jostled?


I'll try to rig something to keep the up secured to the back of the phone, it is a bit annoying to have it dangling there but that's part of the deal with these tiny inline DAC/amps.

Curious to see others' solutions to the logistics of having an inline thingy like this. Recall seeing a photo of somebody hot gluing their dragonfly or something to the back case of the phone. This does not appeal to me, but maybe using something like a 3m command strip would work...

Anywho, pretty nifty device.

I can test it with a LG G4 later if that is useful to anybody...

Yeah, a bit of 3M strip or blutac works well.

It seems like iOS 10.3 does not work with the Shanling UP.
Couple of minutes into playtime, audio will stop and an error saying "This accessory is not supported by this iPhone." will appear.

Perhaps it's not a true MFi certified product after all?
Probably going to return it, it's basically a brick to me now.

Anyone know if the iOS compatibility thing is still an issue?

Thinking about picking one up from Massdrop.

When I used it with a iphone 6 plus with IOS 10.3 it worked fine. But I am the first to point out that the dreaded not supported message is a general issue with iphone output to DACs.

I use the second iteration of the CCK and I power the CCK. That helps a bit for items that don't have MFi. I realize that does not really apply to the UP but I generally share info on CCK use with DAPs when I can as I fiddle with that and its not a common variant of our hobby.

I'm curious where you guys get the shanling up aside from massdrop.

Amazon has a seller but he doesn't ship to hong kong.

Penon audio has online store that sells one, but the checkout procedures (payment method, shipping method) are weird, and i have no idea if it's legit.

Aliexpress and ebay both have sellers, but again, doubts about reliability and legitimacy.

Can anyone help and share their experiences? Thanks a lot

@TSFHfan - MusicTeck.com has Shanling UP in the US

 

[originalsnuffy]

I have had good experiences with Penon. I purchased the M2S from them. It came amazingly fast, though I did pay $10 extra for expedited shipping.

Also; Shenzen Audio has a good reputation and I think they are a key retailer on Aliexpress.

MusicTek has a good reputation in the U.S. They have been quite responsive to email inquiries.

If you are looking for retailers in Aisa, we can really recommend Penon and Shenzhen Audio.
