hey, any idea on how to activate any other bluetooth codecs than LDAC, like LHDC, aptx LL, aptx HD? i've tried only enabling one codec at a time but my redmi note 9 pro just shows me it connected as SBC or aptx

Looks like a Xiaomi issue, not a Shanling issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/komz56/redmi_note_9_pro_joyeuse_ldac_support/

uhh,, but my ldac, standard aptx, aac works fine, on the up5 it also shows connected to ldac, aptx, aac, the one i cant use is LHDC, aptx HD, aptx LL. when i select this 3 options, it shows SBC on the up5 screen, i guess xiaomi fixed the ldac on the newer miui but still have problem with lhdc

hey, my BTR5 died and because this UP5 thing looks so damn good on paper, I don't mind getting one but are there too many newly born issues with it to get it now, thus I rather wait until those issues are fixed?

Will, there be a fix to ---> won't switch to USB automatically when plugging in the USB cord.

4.4 out and better battery life is great but are those the only reason it is much more expensive, bigger, and heavier than BTR5?

It's software issue, it was reported to our software team and we are awaiting fix.

I also have a similar issue playing music with my iPhone 12 Pro Max with Apple Music. If I jump tracks or go to another playlist, the sound stops coming thru the UP5. I have to swipe close Apple Music and re-start it. Will the next update fix this?

Can anyone comment on the SQ of UP4 vs UP5? I tried to search but not much discussion. I'm going to use it mostly in Bluetooth mode. Thanks.

I'm not sure what do you mean? When connected to computer, it will automatically connect to it as USB DAC.

UP5 is bigger and heavier because it's adding the 4.4mm connector

You are also using it as USB DAC with your iPhone?

Connecting it via USB : In my case automatic switch to DAC mode works perfectly?

Size: Me personally, I don`t find the slightly bigger size compared to the BTR5, for example, a big deal. Because it still is small enough to easily fit into any pocket (other than many DAPs) or attach it to ones belt. And it feels way better in the hand than something like the Qudelix! Also, having all three ports is really a joy to use if you have many IEMs!

No this is via bluetooth. With regards to using it via USB DAC it doesn't work using the cable that you provide either. Do I need to change any setting in the Shanling app to make that work?

Make sure you are on the latest firmware. Early firmware were much less stable, but the current firmware mostly solves those issues.

Thanks, I am on 1.6 out of the box. I believe this is the latest?

IMO the sound quality alone justified the extra price for UP5, the UP5 sounds almost like a desktop unit (without the power of the desktop ofcourse) it has proper "weight" on the sound it produces without sounding muddy like some product of a certain brand i know , meanwhile the BTR5 9028p version sounds a lot more "leaner" well, again it just my opinion tho.

about the "issues" i guess only @Shanling can comment on this.

Quick question.. firmware update via OTA got that .. I saw somewhere u need windows to update usb.. is there a utility for mac. Deciding between this or ifi go blu.. thankfully

 

[Paramekshu]

I have both. Up5 sounds better, more detail, more clarity, cleaner sounding. Most likely due to using dual dac setting. Go Blu only has a single dac. The only advantage of the Blue is the X bass. Blue doesn't have manual gain switch, only auto gain. Blu has no option to turn off charging if plugged into phone for USB dac mode.
