I use UA2 connected to iphone.
Can UA5 be used on iphone like UA2?
Is a lightning cable included? Or can I use the lighning cable for UA2?

How many volume steps?

Output impedance (3.5 mm)?

Noise floor rating (3.5 mm)?

 

[jmwant]

No.



Current testing shows around 6-7 hours.



You can just set volume to maximum and you get V2.1

Sounds great then!

 

[ddmareo]

nope, $200 is too much for me. I will probably buy something like shanling ua2 or fiio ka3 instead

Coaxial digital is different from optical digital transport, they are not compatible systems.

Here is for example one article about it: https://www.whathifi.com/us/advice/...dmi-which-is-the-best-audio-connection-to-use

This is not quite true, they do use same same signal but different transport method.

I believe that the XDUOO XD05 BAL has a 3.5mm socket that can act as both a coaxial or optical digital input. But those are uncommon.

Yeah, there are probably some technical difficulties in creating the socket that would do both, but what I meant it cant be said it is different system and not compatible.
It is very comaptible, but one is using light other electronic signal over copper wire. But if you tap coax socket to toslink socket in any receiver / transmitter it will work. Signal is the same standard.

UA5 has same support of iOS as UA2. It will work with the same cable.

We do not offer iOS cable.

99 volume steps

Output specification Single-ended // Balanced

Output impedance 0.8Ω // 1.6Ω

Power 2.1V@32Ω // 2.6V@32Ω

Dynamic range 122 dB // 120 dB

Signal-to-noise 121dB // 116 dB

Channel separation 77dB // 110 dB

Slightly curious that SE measured better than Bal on dynamic range / SNR. If these numbers hold true - not the greatest I have seen on USB dongle but not too shabby either.

i don't like to add more device to maintain battery. i will skip this model. currently use ua2 and love it.

This devices battery is more a buffer they are saying, not something you need to keep topped-off and charged.

You can run it in USB power at all times if you wish.

i will wait for early users reports then.
maybe i only need to charge it once a week. i have too many gadget. hp, tablet, tws, watch..
if i have to add another one, i think i need a secretary LOL (j/k)

i was thinking to do this, but unsure if its a good idea to let battery at 0%. usually it will have a shorter lifespan.

 

[revand]

I suppose I will be unable to resist this to compare with my RU6 and M12!

Which on of the two sounds better?
