I'm in the same boat as
@fleasbaby. I've used one on both my iPhone 6+ and MacBook Pro. Seamless interaction with the iPhone, and only minor glitches with the MBP.
If I go between YouTube and Sling TV, on my MBP, I would have to either disconnect the UP, or toggle off the "Sound Source" setting in Preferences, then back onto the UP. If I did not do this, the volume would be muted. After toggling off and on, or disconnecting, the UP worked flawlessly on the MBP. I never had that issue on my iPhone, though.
Another oddity, is the stair-stepped volume control. Instead of being a smooth escalator of volume up and down, it was a definite stair step. On some songs, the "right volume" was either one step too loud, or one too soft. This only occurred on 2-3 songs, though. This was less prevalent on the MBP, and not a deal breaker to me.
As for the positives (more coming, as well as an unboxing video), right out of the box, I was impressed with the sound. There is a definite bump in the mids, as well as a deeper reach of bass, while a
slight push in treble (to me) could be heard. Support guitar on a twentonepilot's song would be pushed more to the front, as a result. Not overly pushed, but enough to notice. It was almost like the UP, was stating, "HEY! I'm over here! Let's dance!" The sound improvement (not verified with measurements, just my ears) in my iPhone was quite nice. A deeper bass made the music seem to come alive. I thoroughly enjoyed the addition. The same could be said on the MBP. I do enjoy the UP on both sources.
As for the talk regarding there not being power, I can state that every headphone/IEM I threw at the UP was handled well enough (ranged from my Nighthawks, to FLC8S and P1). Even the hard to drive P1 did well. The UP is not all that powerful, but enough to notice and give that extra "oomph" to your music.
Using Tidal vs Amazon Music, I preferred Tidal. That said, it is too soon to determine why other than the music sounds a bit more crisp. A bit brighter, and more clear. Again, I have not done enough A/B between the two on my iPhone to state definitively a difference.
Overall, this is a fine little unit, which comes with four connectivity cables for various sources. The two I am using worked well, and only the issues mentioned slowed me down.
More coming.
Cheers!
