Yes, this signals AKM...............a Phenix rising from the flames. They are back! This is part of their return to form. I should have one in a few days, will report back in this thread!

Do you have any impressions yet? Very curious to hear!

Ha, I know..........me too, I would like to know about the impressions.

So I guess there is a slight delay, though I’m actually getting two separate things in the mail. I emailed, but was not told the specifics on which item is causing the hold-up. So that’s the lowdown..........don’t mean to leave anyone hanging. I will post first impressions right here in this thread before writing a full review. I normally don’t review such devices, but this one intrigues me! My instincts (for whatever reason) say it will be special! Let’s hope so!

@Shanling - any plans of releasing BT amp based on AKM chips?

Dose this run on an internal battery, or draining current from the source?
Thx

There is no battery in UA3.

If you want small DAC/AMP running on battery and separate from the source, you would have to look at our UA5 or UP5.

Ok, thank you

How good is the 3.5 compared to 4.4?

Differences in sound quality?

Can the UA-3 be used in this configuration: Mac Mini > UA-3 > speaker amplifier?

4.4mm is better in driving power, measurements and also in our sound impressions.

Yes, it can be used. Just get simple 3.5 to RCA cable and should be good to go. If your speaker amp also works as pre-amp, it would be best to set UA3 to maximum volume, both software and hardware and control it on the amplifier.

I'm excited, I should have a UA3 in 4 days! Will post first impressions here! Sorry for the delay, don’t know why?

Thanks for the tip.
