I can only confirm that Tidal asks about allowing to use usb device, and plays music, shows signs "hifi" of "master", but I don’t know how to check bitrate of actually played music. And I stll have problems with recognition of Shanling UA2 by Huawei, it does not happen every time.

From what I understand Tidal has recently started to support bit perfect. Unfortunately, my subscription already expired, but you can check if the colors are changing (other than blue).

I cannot tell you for certain. Because to connect I must try many times and it is to difficult to compare it one to one.

No issues.

No issues. It seems to play better with usb device enabled.

Fantastic, thank you. Just one more query if you can help, does it support in-line microphone from headsets and earphones?

I have read a comment from Shanling that it doesn't. I does not in my case neither.

There is no support for in-line mics or controls. From our devices only UP5 has such support.

Got it, thanks.
Just one more query though. Lack of a volume control is really scaring me since I have a moondrop aria, and I fear its drivers might get damaged due to high power output. If I use the android eddict player app to reduce the total volume of the UA2 (or maybe enable low gain mode), will the same settings carry over to my windows 10 laptop?

Why don't you just unplug the headphones, plug in the UA, adjust volume and plug the headphones?

Because my primary device is not android, and not something i carry to office.

That sounds like a good idea, you can adjust loudness down to f ex 0 or 1 without your headphones attached on windows as well.

I have read somewhere that UA2 is not changing the color of the LED from blue despite correct number showed in the UAPP. Unfortunatelly I can confirm that.
EDIT: After further check it works - the LED is changing color both in UAPP and Tidal.

According to Shanling's rep, the setting is saved on the UA2, but I take it as a grain of sand. Just to be safe, you can change the volume to 0 on whatever device you plug the UA2, then attach the headphones afterward.

After adjusting setting for maximum volume on Eddict app on your phone, it will stay saved on the UA2 when you connect it to computer.

Of course, just to be safe, it's always better to lower volume before starting playback.

I would recommend to check your UAPP settings. On my phone running UAPP, UA2 changes colors exactly accordingly to the songs sampling rate.

Hi,
It's magic, it actualy started to function properly And yes it changes the light of LED with only Tidal - for example Camila Cabello "Million To One". But not on Windows, probably because of the use of Windows generic driver.
