Best reviews of 😀 Portable Amps &DACs Shanling - UA2 🤩 -Headphone Zone Shop Headphone Zone Customer Testimonials 03 01

My favorite DAC, for use on the go. Especially because it comes with a 2.5mm balanced output which is an absolute game-changer when using it with Headphones and IEMs. The soundstage widens, the bass tightens and the details become crisper.

DESCRIPTION

An advanced USB DAC/AMP from Shanling’s UA line, the UA2 features a powerful ESS ES9038Q2M DAC along with an Ricore RT6863 amplifier to deliver a high-grade sonic experience. Sporting a compact and portable design, the UA2 is a powerhouse DAC/AMP designed to help you enjoy Hi-Res Audio of up to PCM 32Bit/786kHz and DSD512, on the go.

Connectivity is easy with a USB-C connector which allows you to connect UA2 to almost every modern-day smartphone for high-grade sound. The cables are interchangeable for flexibility and upgradability. The portable UA2 is compatible with Android, Personal Computers, and iOS (lightning cable sold separately). There is a dedicated mode in the UA2 for Nintendo Switch compatibility.

With a power output of up to 95mW at 32 ohms, the Shanling UA2 can drive regular headphones with absolute ease. Additionally, you get two output connections with the UA2 – a standard single-ended 3.5 mm output for regular headphones and a 2.5 mm balanced output for balanced sound output.

With a low-dropout regulator, the UA2 is able to keep the levels of background noise in check ensuring that the sound stays clear and free of noise and hiss. This makes the UA2 a perfect match for sensitive earphones. Keep an eye on the current sampling rate through the LED indicator. This lets you know if you are playing the high-quality DSD format. It also allows you to check if you are connected to your gaming console.

Open a whole new world of settings with the Companion App which allows you to personalize your sound. Get better control over the Shanling UA2 with this App. It lets you tweak different gain modes and digital filters to ensure the sound is fine-tuned to match your music taste.
