Does this product has the "Charge OFF" by the LCD display? Assuming intended use of 'MQA' for Tidal using Phone > UP5 with quick USB charge Off feature.

Shanling UP5 - Our new flagship portable Bluetooth DAC/AMP

With Xmos on USB, it can do 32/384 and DS256.I agree with the others - although the leather case is great for putting in your pocket, it's worse than useless if you plan to use the microphone or to look at the display. If I had to choose just one, I'd rather the plastic - though for $179, it seems reasonable to ask for both.
Also, though I agree the power output isn't enough to make me jump from the up4 to up5, I'm hoping the new chipset removes the 44.1 kHz restriction on the USB input!
Charging can be turned off directly on the UP5, thanks to the screen you will now have access to few more settings.Does this product has the "Charge OFF" by the LCD display? Assuming intended use of 'MQA' for Tidal using Phone > UP5 with quick USB charge Off feature.

Just got the UP5. Still testing them out.
Immediate noticeable flaw: The play/pause button on the left is so flush that the feedback is non-existent. Is this by design, or my unit has a broken button?

Noooooooo! The only reason I gave up my btr5 for the up4 was because of the crappy ergonomics of the btr5 (mainly the crap volume controls). Tell me that the UP5 isn't harder to use than the UP4!!Just got the UP5. Still testing them out.

The volume knob is as crisp as usual (like the UP4) but the button on the left which is meant for play/pause is so flush and feedback doesn't exist. I think this is by design because the leather case also has a flat button. (see photo attached)Noooooooo!

Right, 'cause who needs to operate their unit one-handed without looking at it - especially if it means that you can have a nifty "leather" case that fits on your belt. Where you can only use the unit one-handed without looking at it. Oh. Wait. Hmmm.The volume knob is as crisp as usual (like the UP4) but the button on the left which is meant for play/pause is so flush and feedback doesn't exist.

Seriously, someone needs to buy these people a book about "design thinking,"

Lots of impressive specifications but no way to securely attach it to clothing. Sounds petty but it really does make a difference, seems a shame to make a great device and and someone choose something else because of a clip.
Just noticed it comes with a case, will see how that turns out though a good clip would be better.

This is the only flaw I've observed so far. Audio is a direct upgrade from the UP4 it now sounds like a desktop DAC.Right, 'cause who needs to operate their unit one-handed without looking at it - especially if it means that you can have a nifty "leather" case that fits on your belt.

Thats annoying, I tend to skip tracks. I hope its just one unit issue because that'd be a deal-breaker for me at least.

In UP5 settings, what's DAC "S" or "D"?

If you are getting no feedback/click from play/pause button, it's most likely some hardware issue on your unit. Please reach out to your seller for warranty.Just got the UP5. Still testing them out.

I returned my unit. Will wait for feedback on other units so I can re-order if it's just an isolated issue.If you are getting no feedback/click from play/pause button, it's most likely some hardware issue on your unit. Please reach out to your seller for warranty.

No, there is no such function on UP5. You can get one of our MTouch players for this function, like M0 or Q1.@Shanling Hello does this support audio out via usb?
