That's just a silly myth people keep circulate around. No even Shanling, or any manufacturer, will dare to say their first release of product will be completely bug-free in firmware, otherwise there won't be a need to update UP2's firmware at all. If that logic makes any sense, isn't every manufacturers that ever release a bug-fixing firmware be labeled as beta testing their customers?

The reason I dumped my BTR3 in favour of UP2 is because a firmware update actually broke functionality for my BTR3/Phone. So even when they try and improve things with an update they can sometimes get worse. (This applies to all manufacturers).

The truth is I don't know, but I see a lot of people with complaints about the fiio and for that reason I discard it, I also liked the design of the up2

 

[MarkF786]

Yeah, I've got a bit of a love/hate relationship with FiiO; they have great products but with some major annoyances (often software related).

I haven't had any experience with Shanling yet. Maybe this would be a good product of theirs to try.

How can I find out what firmware I have on my device. Sound great but having a little trouble turning on device. I have to plug the up2 to my charger and then it turns on. Battery is also fully charged.

At current time, there is no way how to figure out which firmware is your unit.

We recommend new owners to simple update to latest firmware available on our web.

And can you tell me in PM little bit more about problem you are facing?

There is no problem. I was using my usb c to usb c cable to charge and it didn’t take. I used the supplied cable and it charges with no problem.

I see, you are not first one mentioning problems with USB-C - USC-C charging cable. Can you please tell me which charger you were using?

I was trying to use the one USB -c cable that came with my ipad pro.

Hi @Shanling @all
Having my UP2 since today, I'm facing one issue, when i turn the knob to change volume, either both directions will lift the volume, or it doesn't work at all till I reboot the device.
Is somebody else facing this issue?
except this, awesome Device! best BT Audio receiver I used so far (coming from a Bluewave GET).
Glued it to the side of my Oppo PM3 and created a super short cable, working just perfect overall
Thanks!

Hi @Shanling , hi all
I am about to purchase the up2, and one of the purpose will be to watch TV at night while the family sleeps, using headphones from 32 to 80ohms. I want to make sure it will be detected by my Sony TV, wich only connect with A2DP Bluetooth profiles. Will the UP2 be detected by my TV?
I can't find the information anywhere, thank you in advance.

All Bluetooth devices support A2DP: https://www.howtogeek.com/338750/whats-the-difference-between-bluetooth-a2dp-and-aptx/
However, you will get a much better audio with a transmitter like the one I use: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32844963478.html
Not only it supports APTX, but it supports APTX Low Latency (as does UP2) - perfect for TV viewing.

Shanling is on fiyah!
Will these double DACs work as dual mono for 3.5 output? Can you tell us the size of the device?

I really need an app for UP2 and upcoming UP4!
