In addition, this almost USB dongle supports UAC2.0 and UAC1.0 modes for connecting Nintendo Switch, which is useful for game lovers.\u00a0But they tried to make the control independent – in any case, the volume is controlled by a massive encoder, and the buttons on the case along with a 1.4-inch monochrome display will provide access to the main functions.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer tried to provide the Shanling UA5 with completely stationary functions with minimal dimensions. For example, Shanling UA5 has a digital SPDIF output – you can connect an external DAC to it.\u00a0The traditional 3.5mm unbalanced headphone output is complemented by a balanced 4.4mm headphone output, replacing the fragile 2.5mm of previous models.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shanling UA5 is able to receive power via the same USB cable, but to extend the battery life of a smartphone with an additional load, a special Hybrid Battery Power saving mode is provided.\u00a0In this case, the UA5 will be partially powered by the smartphone (USB controller and FPGA).<\/p>\n But the most important parts of the DAC – analog amplifiers – will work from their own battery.\u00a0When it is discharged, the saving mode will turn off automatically.<\/p>\n The Shanling UA5 received a durable case made of anodized aluminum in black or red, which can be supplemented with a protective leather case in three colors to choose from (purchased separately).<\/p>\n In the US\/Europe, the recommended price for the Shanling UA5 Portable USB DAC\/Amplifier is $235\/EUR.\u00a0A leather case will cost an additional 15 USD\/EUR.<\/p>\n [ratemypost]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At first glance, the Shanling UA5 Portable USB DAC Amplifier looks\u00a0like\u00a0a lighter.\u00a0And the sizes are appropriate.\u00a0However, two ESS ES9038Q2M DACs and two Ricore RE6863 amplifiers work inside in a fully balanced circuit.
