Have stumbled onto a 1.5.6 firmware bug. Upon plugging in a usb-c cable turning off Bluetooth on my phone, the screen image inversed and turned upside-down?! Turning the unit off and on didn't resolve this bug. That said after I let the unit sit for 5 minutes (while powered off) when powered back on, the screen returned to normal. This bug hasn't occurred since. Also, the inversed and upside-down screen didn't affect the device functionality or sound.

I think that's the most unique bug I saw so far. Will report to software team.

And we have firmware update coming this week

Is MQA integrate in this new firmware ?

How does car mode work?

How does car mode work?

It's designed with idea that the device is semi-permanently installed in your car and at all times connected to USB charger.
When you start your car, UP5 will start charging and turn on by itself. Then when you turn off the engine, charging stops and UP5 turns off automatically after short time.

My device was already showing MQA on its screen before I send it back to the seller 2 weeks ago. Does that mean it was already MQA ready ?

My Samsung TV is made in 2016. Will this device connect to it and allow me to listen via Bluetooth?
Wasn't possible with AP80 Pro.

Please clarify two items:

• Firmware can be updated via OTA (XMOS update has to be done via USB)
• Equalizer works with LDAC bluetooth

Thanks.

OTA = over-the-air. That means UP5 firmware can be updated via Shanling app wirelessly over Bluetooth connection. XMOS however required USB connection to update as it is the USB controller chip. These are two separate things.

EQ over LDAC is exactly what it means - you can use adjust EQ (via app) even when connecting your Android smartphone to UP5 via LDAC Bluetooth codec (*iPhone need not apply, as Apple doesn't support LDAC)

@Shanling Are there any updates on General Availability of the UP5 for your U.S. based distributors?
