Will the Shanling UP4 be able to receive a BT signal and output it to USB C so as to connect to a more powerful amp?

I meant more powerful DAC/AMP

No, such function is available only on our players, so M0, M2x, M5s.

Using UP2 for two months and last week the front panel broke off , and got a cold shoulder from the seller. Any ideas to make this work.

So I'm not the only one with problem!
Took me whole 3 months though

Will discuss with software team, if it's possible to implement the USB-DAC mode as more standalone setting.

Maybe You could do it like this: when UP2 is connected via USB, it right away works as external standalone DAC, like in many other DACs. There is no need to press „turn on” button. In this mode it behaves like pure USB DAC: stable, it don’t serch for bluetooth connection and don’t send any sound signals (like „headphone is disconnected”, beeping etc.)

In fact even now my Macbook sees UP2 as sound device, even if it’s turn off, but there is no sound until I will turn it on.

And if you press „turn on” button, it starts to behave like bluetooth device.

Oof, I sure hope this QC doesn't happen on the Shanling UP4

Is the sound quality of UP2 better with USB DAC as compared to bluetooth? I listen to Apple Music w Macbook Pro so it uses AAC. I'm asking because my Mac has only got USB-C ports, so I tried the adaptor provided by Apple however my Mac does not recognise the UP2 and I cannot use it as a USB DAC. So before I start my search for a USB-C to USB-C cable, I wanted to know if there is any difference in the sound quality between USB DAC vs. BT w AAC.

Also, any suggestions on a working USB C - C cable for Mac? I am not sure why Shanling used USB-A in 2019.

I am not sure why Shanling used USB-A in 2019.

Probably because most other PC and USB charger outside of Apple still has USB-A.

Looking forward for the UP4 aswell, planned to use them most of the time on the desktop at home and events. Do we need to install anything to run it as USB DAC/AMP or its plug n play? Would be nice if its plug n play. Also want to try out balanced output as im still new to this. Hello @ClieOS from Malaysia as well

Always nice to see another fellow countryman. It is plug-n-play btw.

Im planning to run them with my tin T4, do you think its a good choice for a dac/amp desktop use? I will time to time use the BT functionality. Or es100/btr5 does it better? To me its good that it has 2.5/3.5m output so i am keen to try balanced.

does UP4 use dual dac with single ended?

Yes, you can switch it to boost mode and then it uses both chips in single ended.

Any news on the application for UP2?

A suggestion: it would be nice if UP2 was able to automatically switch between codecs depending on the situation. For instance, for making phone calls you don't really need LDAC, but LDAC is selected by default on (newer) Android phones. LDAC consumes significantly (in my experience) more battery. So, it would be nice if UP2 would automatically switch to SBC or aptX for calls, then switch back to LDAC when listening to music.

I don't if other BT amps have this functionality.
