Shanling UP5 - Our new flagship portable Bluetooth DAC/AMP

I'm not asking you for this. And about how you can choose the firmware MANUALLY, but through the application. And remember your choice so that when you launch your application, it will select this codec again.

Doesn't work as it should. I turn off all codecs, leave only LDAC, but AptX still turns on.

No, we are not able to set manuals witch codec to the app, that's up to the phone system.

Please what exact app version are you using? This is not how it should behave.
Hello! 2 more thoughts:
1.If possible, I would like to see the firmware turn off the charge indication when the device is fully charged. The fact is that there is an OLED display, as far as I understand. And he's prone to burnout. Accordingly, if I put the device on charge all night, the display will display a static picture for several hours, which is very bad!
2.You are ignoring my question about the output of the firmware, which I asked 2 times. Please tell me when is the firmware release planned?
1. I can propose this to software team.

2. Do not have info on next firmware update.

Hey!
You can add an item to the menu: Change the start / pause button with the on / off button?
When you walk, it is not convenient to grope and pause (UP5 in a case), but a large button - the volume control is convenient (especially when it is in a trouser pocket).

Had exactly the same thought!!!!

@Shanling , are your going to update firmware to make Bluetooth connection more robust?

As far as Qudelix 5K has started to loose battery capacity, I have decided to try UP5 as replacement. Ok, very poor supporting app is pity (say, parametric EQ absence, not-customizable controls with crazy default operation assignment, and so on), but it isn't an absolute stopper (at last I have got few IEM pairs acceptable without EQing).

But poor BT reliability is the absolute stopper. I get interrupts through just two thin wall (without armature or any other metal). And just AAC is in use.

Another problem: for some reason LDAC was working just few hours. At some point UP5 has just reset to SBC (not any other BT devices has got any problems with BT transmitter in use).

Ha! And now (just have tried to reinstall) the app doesn't change any device settings. At all...

Will you, @Shanling , please improve BT and codecs handling?

I don't think there are any firmware updates currently planned for UP5.

Please what BT transmitter are you using?

Do these work well if I want to watch a movie on my Apple TV and listen to the audio on my headphones from the UP5’s?

I don’t think the Apple TV has any low latency bluetooth codec, but I am curious as to how the experience would be like - significant lag?

Any alternative solutions to the above situation?

Depends on how Apple TV works, if it's able to see it's using Bluetooth output and adjust the audio delay for it.

I just ordered a UP5 on the summer sale, and want to make sure I understand this. You guys have stopped work on new firmware? I previously read that there was a slow charging issue with the current firmware and that was being worked on for the next firmware, or did I miss something?

Also a slightly random question, but since the 2.5mm and 4.4mm balanced outs appear to use the same circuit, what's the behavior when both are connected? Is it safe? Does it work like a splitter where each output gets about half the usual power? Does one output switch off?
