Can I connect UP4 with iPhone 6s Plus by using Lighting cable to USB C in order to get better quality out from iPhone 6s+?

I try to do it but I have no sound coming out from the headphone. Is it the problem from the cable or it's just not supposed to be connected by cable?

Is it any possible way to get a better quality of sound than AAC from iPhone 6s+ and UP4?

Thanks.

In short, it is both because the cable doesn't work and because UP4 is picky on how it can work as a USB DAC with smartphone.

Now I changed my phone to Huawei P30 in order to get HWA support from UP4. Another question is with this setup, Is it support MQA when listening to Tidal at Master Quality?

My set : Huawei P30 + Up4 + Tri I3

MQA doesn't work over Bluetooth, also UP4 doesn't support MQA anyway. What you will get is probably Tidal internal software first unfold, but no more than that.

I've just bought an UP2 to have in my car as it has an aux input but no bluetooth. I've used one before and it is a superb little receiver/dac/amp, it's perfect for my uses and my Pixel 3a does LDAC so it sounds awesome. Overall I'm really happy with it for my uses, I used 3M Dual lock to secure it to the dash.

I am getting crackling noises with my up2 connected to my mate 20 over HWA. I don't notice it when I change to a lower quality sound setting. Anyone else have this issue?

have you tried to turn off wifi & mobile data? because sometime the connection is pretty sensitive

Hi, I try to pair my UP2 with my Samsung S10+ via LDAC. When I try to use the best setting, the 990kbps, it keep delaying & interrupted. Last time when I did the same thing to my s9+, i have no problem. Do you know why it happen?

I have try to reset the connection but it just won't work.

Okay. I think i kind of lessen the choppiness by turning off the wifi thought it's still get interrupted sometimes. Sigh.

LDAC in highest resolution is the most sensitive to quality of connection. SO in some spaces that are unfriendly to Bluetooth connections(places with too many networks, places with some strong transmitters, open fields), it can show some problems.
If you are experiencing problem withS10+, while it worked fine with S9+, there might be something changed in the phone that is affecting this.

MQA by its nature is not compatible with current Bluetooth codecs. Your Tidal app will unfold MQA as Hi-Res files, which then can be send over HWA LHDC/LDAC.

We have similar experience with HWA on certain phones, apparently here issues is more on side of the phone and its software

I connect them in my bedroom which doesn't have a lot of network at all. But my guess it was because of the phone. When I turn off the location & wifi, the connection work very well without any disruption/distortion. So with my s10 now if I was gonna use the 990kbps, I can only turn on the mobile data...

As for me i turn on wifi and turn off mobile data and location and had no issue
I mean i AM at home so why would i use my mobile data right? RIGHT?

Is your phone samsung s10 series? If it wasn't, it doesn't apply to you, okay. And what you are saying here is totally not relevant or helping at all, it just straight up annoying.

It's not like I didn't try other option like leaving the wifi on while turning off the location and mobile data. I test them all and the only way to get them to stream 990kbps perfectly is just having mobile data on while the location & wifi is off.

Any News on the Shanling App?
It's getting a bit late .....

Also the UP4 firmware page seems to have disappeared from Shanling (Chinese) website. That's weird.

We have beta working now, unfortunately CNY holidays and current situation are delaying it further.

Apparently there was some possible glitch with Qualcomm update software on systems running in Chinese, so it was taken down before it's fixed.
