by Lauren Young on Feb 18, 2022

SHANLING has introduced their latest USB DAC/AMP, the UA5, which is a bit different from their UA series line-up products like UA1 and UA2 USB Audio dongles. UA5 adds volume wheel for an independent volume control, 1.44-inch OLED display for an easy access to multiple settings directly on the device, full-size 4.4mm balanced connector, and special Hybrid battery Power mode, to reduce battery drain from your smartphone. This high-performance pocket device is priced at 235$.

 

 

UA5 is equipped with a Dual DAC chipset featuring two top-quality ES9038Q2M DAC chips. ES9038Q2M is a 32-bit stereo DAC that provides unprecedented performance while decoding Hi-Res audio signals. There are two DAC chips in the UA5, one for each channel creating a fully balanced architecture.They are arranged together in a fully balanced design with two dedicated Ricore RE6863 amplifier chips. It houses two headphone output ports, one 3.5mm single-ended and another 4.4mm balanced headphone output.

 

 

 

It also features two Ricore RE6863 amplifier chips. They are arranged in a balanced design with the DAC chips. The Ricore amplifiers produce a powerful output thrust that enables the UA5 to output a clean and powerful driving force. It powers your IEMs and low-demanding headphones well without any trouble. The output power rating with the UA5 is up to 211mW@32Ω(balanced port).

 

 

It is possible to switch between full USB Power and Hybrid Battery Power mode.
