If anyone looking for UP2 in Aliexpress but couldn't found it, search Shanling amplifier.
For example, UP2 is available in AK Audio Store and BrightAudio Store

I bought one on Ali and used search term Xiaomi Shanling UP2. That worked too

BTR3 story all over again. Shanling will probably release the app when they announce UP3.

@Shanling Without an App how can I tell what firmware version my UP2 is running (mine is due for delivery today)? From another thread I understand the latest is 1.3, right?

The post has arrived! Updated to 1.3, previous f/w was dated 2018-02-12 so I'm guessing that's pretty old! Connects HWA at 96/24 - 900KB/s without issue (unlike my BTR3), LDAC is fine at 96/24 - 660kbps (get some drop-out at 990kbps).
Overall I'm very happy and can consign the BTR3 to the back of a drawer!

UP2 is much better than BTR3? Can you tell me some impressions?

UP2 works as advertised, the BTR3 didn't for me. HWA broke when FiiO updated the f/w recently.
What about sound?

To be fair I've only had the UP2 for a matter of hours, and I haven't listened to music via BTR3 for nearly 2 weeks. But from memory the UP2 sounds cleaner and maybe more detailed. I had no real issue with the way BTR3 sounded, it just didn't work as it should have with my phone.
The clip on my BTR3 broke for no apparent reason and it hasn't seen that much use. The clip on my ES100 broke, although that had seen a lot more use.
I'm trying to say that I'm pleased with Shanling's decision to use a clip case instead of an attached one!

Check out my clipless mod.... it will work on the BTR3 with broken clip too Completely flat and super strong magnetic hold:: https://www.ebay.com/itm/46x13mm-St...206799?hash=item468f14a9cf:g:7LQAAOSwrCZbE6JY
Unfortunately no way how to test it. International versions should be all with latest 1.3, for units purchased on Aliexpress, we recommend to update to latest firmware once you receive it.
Cases shall be available separately little bit later. Most likely we will do it same way as our spare parts, in cooperation with one of our Chinese dealers.
Oh, that's cute idea, might do that for my UP2.
