Considering that Android has a limit of 48kHz (if you do not use UAPP), is there any advantage in running wired from the phone in comparison to LDAC or APTX HD? My (not opened yet) UP4 is limited 16/48 wired

I´m on Deezer that run 16-Bit/44.1 kHz FLAC and using Beyerdynamic DT177X with 2.5mm balanced cable.

Do I benefit with the UP5 with better specs wired, or will I not notice any difference VS LDAC (considering Deezer 16-Bit/44.1)..

Long question short, is it worth upgrade to UP5?

UP5 sounds better than UP4, no matter what connection you use.

USB connection is theoretically better, we can of course argue how much is it actually audible, but I would say us and most of our customers would say USB input sounds better than current capabilities of Bluetooth.

Guys, I need one question answered, preferably @Shanling can chime in:

How is the auto-off behaviour on this device?

I have a BTR5 and as long as it's connected through Bluetooth to my phone, it will NEVER turn off and I hate it.

Is there an option for the UP5 to turn off after 5 minutes, even if Bluetooth is connected?

If you leave it inactive and do not do anything on your phone, it turns off after 10 minutes

Hello, greetings!
I have Shanling UP5 and just successfully updated it to the latest 1.6.3 firmware with UAC 1.0 be connected to my laptop (windows).

then I tried to update XMOS by connecting UP5 via UAC 2.0, but my laptop did not consider it as DAC and an error window appeared said "USB device not recognized". is it a firmware issue?

it's all working well with UAC 1.0 but not with UAC 2.0.

I've installed USB Driver provided (Shanling USB Audio Device Control Panel), but UP5 didn't show up.

and when I checked the Device Manager in windows, the device (UP5) is recognized as:

Looking forward to your response. Thanks in advance!

Hi, sorry for up this one..
maybe @Shanling have some responses?

Thank you

Sorry for asking a possibly dumb question here since this is my first experience using a Bluetooth DAC.

Does Bluetooth DAC work the same way as it does with wired DAC (i.e., I need to set my phone digital volume to max and adjust the playback volume through the DAC)?

As this UP5 is my first ever Bluetooth DAC in years, I want to do it right, even though it might not matter much.

Thanks.

Yes, that is the best way to operate for quality as digital volume reduces bit depth.

edit:

It may not matter as much with bluetooth due to absolute volume control settings (Android), but I still think it is the best approach.

UP4 is not detecting headphones or headsets with microphone, i tried all, removeable mics, inbuilt mics, does up5 detect?

@Shanling or Anyone else

Question : Does the UP5 Charge Fast Enough to be use While Charging in Dual Balance DAC 4.4mm mode?

Yes it does. It'll be able to charge to full while listening to dual balanced

Yes, it will charge just fine.

Our software team is looking into these reports of slow charging.

Any news about slow charging because my unit does the same...

I just bought one to replace my UP2, which I love and works fine - but is going to car as my Aux input. But I have a question @Shanling
On the controller App, there is no option to turn car mode on or off, yet on the Eddict Player, the toggle is there and working. So why is there both a controller app and and Eddict player app. The Eddict app seems to have more function that works, and yet very few people talk about it? Shouldn't you just retire the controller App and push everyone over to Eddict?

Nothing so far.

Shanling controller apps is no longer being developed, all is now focused into the central Eddict Player app for all our products and brands.

So you confirm we need to download this eddict player app for our UP5 ?

If you wish to use it for the extra settings, then yes, the Eddict player the one that should be used.

HI, I need to enable high gain and max out the volume to properly drive an IEM when using bluetooth, while it's pretty loud on 40 using low gain when on wired mode. Is that normal? The IEM is Moondrop Kato and I use the 3.5mm connection.

I can't speak for the Kato in particular but I also find a significant difference in power/volume between Bluetooth and wired..
