Uh-oh, I just bought the BTR3. Might switch if the DAC would be better here.

 

[Chessblitzer2017]

Keeping a close eye on this .... Just got an ES100 so eager to see more BT options on the market

I was also looking at the BTR3. Brand loyalty dictates that I wait for further details from Shanling

What's the DAC in this, and will it support balanced?

Loving that knob on the right-hand side. It looks like the digital crown on the apple watch. Hoping it's a volume knob, as the two-button approach the es100 takes can get a little annoying

In these devices you are limited by size and power(and also budget), so of course you can go balanced with two mediocre chips. Instead we went with superior DAC/AMP for single ended

UP2 has same concept of wheel as M0/M5s. So it works both as volume control, on/off button and as playback control with single/double/triple click.
