Can't find anything. What about price?

Only on JD.com for now and won't make it to Taobao till later this month. Pre-order price is about US$60 and it probably will go up slightly when it is released internationally. Judging from the price, ShanLing is targeting the same market as BTR3.

Fiio BTR5 is not the M5? So they're releasing 2 new bt receivers simultaneously?

FiiO "M" designation is for their digital audio player, even if it can support BT receiving. On the other hand, "BTR" designation is for pure BT adapter - so no, they are not releasing two BT receiver at the same time, but a DAP with BT capability and a pure BT receiver.

hello @Shanling we are despeartely awaiting and update ... any update .... can you give some indication as to release date, a few specs and approx price I for one have been holding off on making a purchase of anything as I wait for more on The UP2 .... if there are further or lengthy delays I'm just going have to go head and purchase something else and suspect I'm not the only one in the "We're waiting for you" Camp. Please give us some idea as to when we can expect the possibility to order. thanks

Hello everybody, just returned from European shows, all information on UP2 will be posted this week.

It's correct, UP2 was released in China in small run. We are now collecting all the feedback, not sure on international release date yet.

International price will be 79 USD/Euro.

Also, please keep discussion about new Fiio units in Fiio thread, thank you.

Yes, it is single ended only. Using same ES9218p DAC/AMP as M0.

24/96 is current limit of BT codecs used.

Thanks for the update. Can you share the weight of the unit in grams? Integrated clip?

Dang that is a real bummer, i guess i will be waiting for the Fiio BTR5 that they announced in china. Should be a upgrade to my EarStudio ES100.

@Shanling I hope you'll consider making a short mmcx cable to go with the UP2. I keep thinking about so I thought I should post. I've been thinking about getting the Shure RMCE-BT2 cable to use with my SE846 and ER4 but the logical question is why, when the UP2 will give me the same Codecs plus a DAC; the only challenge is that iem cables are too long when going to mobile BT and the few short ones available are hard to find...... You should produce one..... I wouldn't be the only one to buy it, I'm sure.

You can already get short MMCX cable from quite a few places.

Wonder how it will compare with the Amplify on IGG that uses the AK4376 DAC. Think Fiio uses it in their similar amp.

The Auris is not 2 way BT; where the UP2 can transmit, receive and usb DAC, The Auris is Receiver Only, uses a lesser chip, is micro USB and has no USB DAC functionality.

Transmit? Don't recall that from any of the official spec. If you are referring to making / receiving call, both should be able to do that.
