@Shanling, When will UA2 go on sale?

Not sure yet, we needed to adjust its design following fire at AKM factory.

We will see what DAC will end up in UA2.

UA1 can't handle headphone (on-wire, volume etc) buttons? What a shame these a waay too useful

Correct, UA1 has no support for microphone or in-line controls. It lacks hardware for this.

 

[Ufasas]

how does ua1/ua2 compare to ibasso dc03 and hidizs s3 ? (I enjoy using hidizs s3 on laptop and sometimes PC)

Firmware update for Shanling UA1 released.

This update enables hardware volume setting in the Shanling Music app, allowing for more precise volume setting on your device.

You can go to our website or download it directly from Google Drive

Note: Update needs to be done on Windows PC.

Huh? I assume these products only came into existence because phones lost their HP jacks, right? And that most people buying type c audio adapters use it on their phones, if not exclusively? Mind blown!

No hardware volume buttons on UA1, what about on UA2? I would prefer UA2 anyway for the replaceable cable in case of cable failure. Looking forward to UA2, anyone know how AKM 4493 compared to Cirrus CS43131 in the TempoTec?

UA2 will not be using AK4493, we were forced to adjust its design due to fire at AKM factory. Which caused this delay on its release.

Hello,

Know if the UA1 is fully compatible with a Samsung S20 Fe 5G?
I had a problem with an IBasso (not powered by the phone)
Thank you in advance

It's running newest Android, that in theory should work fine. But this depends on the phone manufacturer and how they have it set up in their software.

We don't have this phone to test and not sure if you will find here anybody with it. You would have better chance asking on some Samsung discussion forum/reddit or maybe you can try to ask Samsung tech support.

Okay.
Thank you for your response.
I'll look again.

Is changing internal hardware volume on UA1 permanent when using Shanling Music on Android or would it need to be adjusted every time the UA1 is plugged in?
