All those codecs supported in BT mode.. But what codecs are supported when you connect UP5 in USB mode via PC ?

 

[Shanling]

I have the same issue after upgrading to 1.6.3. It takes way longer to charge like twice the time and somewhat shorter play time. May revert back to 1.6.2.

@Shanling please help to share the link to your V1.6.2 firmware as it is no longer in your original link. Thanks

Here is link to V1.6: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rbFqtraWKI8IPeHc3z-9IB9KOSsft2n0/view?usp=sharing

When playing over USB, UP5 supports PCM up to 32/384 and DSD256.

Thank you @Shanling but this link is for V1.6.0. Can you provide V1.6.2 link ?

Ok, i got my answer, but one more question, would this 4.4mm male balanced pole to 3.5mm balanced female pole adapter enable headphones with 3.5mm jack cables to play with UP5 ?

Hi @Shanling

I have recently upgraded my phone (OnePlus 9 Pro) and it is supposed to have LHDC codec support after the most recent update. I have confirmed that the LHDC is available in the developer options, but whenever I tried to activate LHDC, the UP5 keeps going back to LDAC. I tried turning off all other codecs except LHDC with the Shanling Controller app, but it still won't connect with LHDC. Is there any settings I need to change to allow LHDC?

My UP5 is on version 1.6.3. I don't have other phones or devices with LHDC support, so I can't test them in other pairings.

This adapter is only for balanced 3.5mm (for example older Hifiman earphones). It's NOT for standard 3.5mm cable. Using such cable can lead to damage to amplifier or earphones.

Hmm, does your phone show which version of LHDC it supports?

In my opinion, stick to LDAC, it's just better.

In short, it will short-circuit the UP5.

See the link in my signature for a more lengthy explanation.

Yet, Tempotec realized in their E44 a possibility of using 4.4 balanced to 3.5 unbalanced. Amazing, and may cause more confusion and some burns

The phone doesn't specify the version. It is added with the latest OS updates to the phone (Oxygen OS 12). The previous Oxygen OS 11 does not support it. There are reports where LHDC works with OnePlus's own Buds Pro, but I can't confirm since I don't have them. I guess it makes sense if the one in the Oxygen OS is the older one. May I know what is the UP5's LHDC version so I can make a bug report to OnePlus?

In my opinion, stick to LDAC, it's just better.

Well, I'd like to make that judgment after I try it myself.

I may have a good deal on a ATH R70X ... do you think the UP5 can drive it ?

For future reference finally got an Hifiman HE400SE... it can be driven by the UP5 at 80% volume unbalanced.

Can you use the microphone while using it as a USB DAC on PC? or is that only reserved for Bluetooth?

And also is it worth updating from 1.6.0 to 1.6.3?

I'm wondering this also. Mine should arrive later this week and the various firmwares seem to have pros and cons.

Downgraded back to firmware v1.6.2 and the battery can now charge in full unlike v1.6.3 which takes forever to charge and can never get full bars. @Shanling please take note.

@Shanling
I think I got a bug on 1.6.3;
When using BlueTooth AAC with my iPad, scrolling volume down works by reducing the volume on iPad itself,
while scrolling volume up it does not have any effect, and I need to increase it on the iPad itself.

Noticed this on my still 1.6.0. Eventually just got used to fixed volume on UP5 and adjusting volume on phone. Weirdly for mine, if you keep scrolling down the volume, it eventually shoots from 0 - 100, as if its cycling, but only downward. had the shock of my life when my phone call got blasted into my ears
