Having settled on the Shanling UP4, I'm now in the market for a BT receiver/transmitter to pair with. I'll be connecting to a Sony TV and a couple of consoles, so watching shows and gaming (APTX LL is a must) then the BT receiver will connect to the Shanling UP4. The device needs to be able to transmit a BT signal.
I did find the Shanling BA1 and seems like a good pairing.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't have sufficient privileges to post my own thread but can anyone recommend a transmitter that'll get the job done. I know DeJaVu suggested the Fiio BTA30 but unfortunately it's unavailable in my country. I don't know if the transmitter has to be of a high caliber if I'll only be using it mostly for TV shows and gaming!

You can order BTA30 of aliexpress.
Though if you only need a transmitter just because of aptx LL and have no need for the added features of BTA30, you can go for basically any transmitter that is available in your country and has support for it.
If youre going cheap, make sure the transmitter has optical/coax input, so it doesnt do the analog to digital conversion on the input, but sends it untouched to the BT device. Not that big of a deal since you will be using low bitrate codec for tv/games and even one with analog input would do the job, still, avoid if you can.
Also would be good to look for something with external antenna, so you minimize chances of having poor range.

Some great pointers to follow that I wouldn't have thought of. Again, thank you for the info!

I just posted this on the M6 Pro 21 thread and thought I'd share it here with you as well

For those of you who like streaming radio stations as I do, I found a a great app called Custom Radio Player to replace Tune-In Radio. I've used tune in for years but I've been getting buffering and the ads have started irritating me. With Custom Radio Player, there are no ads, streaming starts almost immediately and you get the benefit of the full bit rate the station is streaming in. You need to know what the stream URL is but many stations will give it to you if you contact them an ask.

Anyway Here's the link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.battlestr1k3.radionerd

Typing in the URLs can be a little fiddly on the small screen but you can import and export stations. So I'put the app on my phone and exported it to the SD Card and on my tablet so I can stream over to my BT DAC as well. If you're interested here's an import file that you can use to get you started with a few of my favorite stations complete with station cover art:
WSHE - She's Only Rock & Roll - Ft. Lauderdale
Classic Rock Florida
Radio Paradise
Atlantic Sound Factory
Swiss Groove
I AM Radio
Aardvark Blues Radio

Have Fun

Firmware Update for UP4, UP2 and MW200.

Adding in-vehicle mode to UP2 & UP4.

While youre still in firmware update mode, maybe check and fix the UP2. Namely when used with LDAC at 44/48KHz there can be some static/scratchiness heard at low frequencies. 96KHz doesnt have the problem. Starts around 40Hz and can be heard more clearly at 25Hz and below.
Or maybe its just mine that has the problem?

Anyone interested to check for the issue can test here https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/

Edit:
BTW, still cant see the download link for 1.7.8 on the page you linked to. Both on google drive and your website latest for Up2 is 1.7.5

Anyway, happy to have Car Mode. Now I can get rid of my BTR3 in the Car and get and UP5 for the Gym, when Cycling and to walk around with. Thanks
