Shanling UP4 & UP2 - Bluetooth 5.0 DAC/AMP with ES9218P, balanced output, supporting LDAC, HWA LHDC, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX and AAC.

If they made an app, one would be able to disable all codecs that aren't used on the UP2 / UP4. so it doesn't matter what phone you use. This is exactly how the FiiO app works. Open App > Disable Codecs > connect to device and the device will use the available codecs on the Shanling. On my fiio I have disabled AAC, Aptx, and LDHC

but I much prefer the sound of my UP2 and it has better battery life too!

Hope they made the app available soon.

UP2 does sound very good. I think this is the best device I had been invested in so far & will not upgrade probably for a few years until it really gets old.

I've not seen anything select AptX over AptX-LL, it would be very odd.

Thanks. Getting a transmitter that cannot stream aptX HD seems to be the answer to my troubles then. Unless Shanling provides an app, that is.

For watching movies, most software has settings to adjust audio delay.

Good idea, thanks. However, my TV only allows me to delay audio.

New firmware update for Shanling UP2

Notes:

1. Fixed problem causing voice calls to be directed only to left channel.

2. Adjusted LED indicator’s colour for AAC codec. Shifting its tone more to turquoise, making it easier distinguishable from rich blue colour of SBC.

Shanling, is an app coming or not? I appreciate if you can give us a candid response.

I've just pre-ordered the Shanling UP4 together with the Fiio BTR5, so I'll try a comparison against the Earstudio ES100 and the Fiio BTR3.

I hope UP2 had some sort of screen protector to protect the glass screen since mine is now full of scratch

And what's the ETA? Been waiting for months......

I had two Radsone ES100 crap out in within 7 months. The second replacement I gifted away to a friend, because I had UP2.
Today, 3 months after receiving it, I picked it up off the table, and the front panel just came off:

As you can see, no signs of physical damage - looks like a bad glue job.

This is really annoying - my Sony SBH52 has been working for 4 or 5 years now, yet recent TOTL adapters can't survive more than a few months.
Kinda raises the question if we should keep chasing the latest and greatest adapters, if manufacturers can't get their act straight...

So sorry to see this. On UP2, screen is connected same way as it's on our players and they proved to be very durable in long term.

Definitely contact your original seller for repair/replacement.

There are some on Taobao.

I scratch mine on the first day, so now it is well protected by screen protector.

Might not be your case, but high ambient temperature (such as inside a hot car) can weaken the double-sided tape used in many of these kind glass and cause it to fall off.

Well, I see no reason for me to wait for a month or so just for a small screen protector tho :/

Hi, I'm sorry it happened to you. I have mine 4 months ago and it is perfect.
It may be that leaving it against the sun for a long time or sitting on top of it, has caused that or simply a bad assembly, which can happen in any product at all times. Even on iPhones it happens. No batch of manufacturing is 100% perfect on any product.
Ask for a new one, this product is simply fantastic.
