Hi, I just got my UA1. I'm liking the sound out of these but every track starts with a fade in even though I have no effects turned on, how can I disable this?

Are you using it with computer or Phone?

Using it with my phone at the moment.

I've tried using it with the shanling music app as well as other music players. I've updated the firmware for it as well BTW.

Hello @Shanling, I love using the M0 but I think I would like to go back to my phone from time to time.
ES9038 sounds also like a nice upgrade.

- Any update regarding the iOS cable (sold separatly) for UA2? For some of us it's a big question as the old Apple CCK could be really clunky.

- Also the Shanling companion app (for UA1) is not currently available for iOS. I think Dragonfly dongles are able to support hardware volume control with iOS without any additional app. Such behavior is feasible on UA2 product?

Hi @Shanling , I currently have a shanling m0. Planning to buy UA2, will it be a significant improvement over M0 while paired with my phone?

No idea who are these sellers.

I saw on a few websites, that the UA2 was released and available for order in China starting 5th March. In fact, a few reviews in Chinese were already posted. (Google 山灵 ua2). So I believe the aliexpress sellers should be able to send out asap.

While there is slight delay right when you start playback for the first time, when moving to the next track, it starts at the very beginning, without any gap or fade-in.
In your cases, it is probably caused by some software setting in apps or your system.

- We will not be selling the cable for iOS, you will need to purchase some third-party cable with MFI certification ( we are putting together list with some recommendations).

-We are actually moving these functions into new app, that will be covering more devices than just Shanling.
It's called Eddict Player and is available for both Android and iOS:

Yes, there is quite a big improvement in sound quality. And if you use it balanced, there is also boost in output power.

Mixed feelings about this.
It’s always good to have more competition and more Music apps to choose from. I’m sure Shanling could do a very good player. But it also means that if you want to extract sound quality down to the very last limit (hardware volume control) you’re stuck with Eddict app and it has to be pretty good.

I’m afraid people will ask you tons of features for this app
And still, some will never be satisfied...

Looking at it quickly on iOS, it looks promising... The Nas/Dlna features is working and gapless (but you can’t access or sync nas with the main music library). The EQ looks good but it’s not working currently. It manages to stream 192khz with the M0 but not sure DSD was working. Also It consumes the whole battery of you iPhone even if you don’t listen to any music, you have to manually kill it.

It will be a long journey...

If you could still consider native hardware volume control (iOS and computers) at this stage it would be a nice versatile device directly competing against Dragonfly cobalt...

Use our new Eddict Player app to access all additional setting on UA1 and UA2:

Note: Due to limitations of iOS system, UA2 can't be used with Eddict Player on iOS devices. You will need to use Android device to access these additional settings.

Selling under MSRP, not even mentioning Shanling name, with some roughly translated text from Chinese?

No, do not buy from this seller.

Hello Shanling. I know UA1 doenst have mic inside but the question I have is different. If you earphone already has mic inside, does it work when using UA1 with your phone? In other words, once we plug UA1 in, does the mic of earphones function?
Thanks
Mert
