Is this dac an upgrade over my ibasso dc03? In terms of sound quality.

If you mean UA1, maybe not ..

Can you compare with the iBasso DC03 ?

I thinks ibasso dc03 is slightly better compared to ua1

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

No, there is no support for in-line microphones on UA1 or UA2.

Hi @Shanling does my autoeq / wavelet ( android ) works when i use external dac like ua2? Thanks

Please consult developer of this app regarding working with external DACs.

@Shanling how many times good is the new ua2 model compared to the old ua1 model?

@Shanling how many times good is the new ua2 model compared to the old ua1 model?

I would say 17.52X or 268% better.

Now to be serious, in Hi-Fi it's hard to make such claims. UA2 has more power, cleaner output, better DAC. So it's better sounding device than UA1. But I can't tell you How many times better.

Hello.

Does anyone know if the Shanling UA1 is 100% compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S20?
*I would like a 100% pure android solution, without any extra app, like Audio Player PRO for example.

So I can take it that UA2 has similar colouring to UA1? I'm getting it anyways because switch but being 17.52X better is certainly a plus point.

Compatibility with external DACs, without use of any third party apps, depends on set up and settings of your phone. So it's question more up for Samsung.
If your S20 can work with other USB DACs, it should work just as fine with UA1.

They are both running Sabre DACs, but their tuning is bit different.

We sent our samples to multiple reviewers, so soon you will be able to read comparisons from different sources.

Will the usb-c to lightning cable, that comes with our iphone, work to connect the UA2 and will apps from streaming services work without problem ?
Windows 10 will need a driver, right ?

Most users gets shorter cables that were designed for use with USB DACs, something like this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002246584187.html?spm=2114.12010615.8148356.2.3b6968596HS8iM

We recommend to install USB drivers for full compatibility with windows, it's this driver: https://en.shanling.com/download/73

Sorry, our download section wasn't yet updated. UA2 uses same USB driver as UA1, so please download it form here: https://en.shanling.com/download/73

What's the difference between the 'Shanling Music' and 'Eddict Player' apps?

 

[Infoseeker]

For those wondering which to get, it seems the UA1 is the best sounding one as long as all you got is an iem.

The seperation and depth is amazing. There is like no compression to the presentation of this dongle.

What's the difference between the 'Shanling Music' and 'Eddict Player' apps?

Shanling Music is mainly music player that's serving as default player on our Android devices.

Eddict player is multi brand companion app, so it allows remote controls over other devices, settings for USB DACs, etc.

 

[Nolbert0]

I'm asking because both apps have 'SyncLink' and 'USB control' feature along with the music player. So if I'm using a Shanling device, it doesn't matter which app I use? I will have identical features regardless of the app?

I guess what I'm trying to ask is:
For a Shanling device, would there be any benefit to installing both apps on my phone?
