DAC Chip
You may not even realise it, but most of us use a digital-to-analogue converter (commonly known as a DAC) daily. Built into your computers, tablets and smartphones, a DAC is fundamental to unlocking the convenience of digital music. Any device that acts as a digital sound source will need a DAC to convert digital audio to analog. A DAC converts the digital information stored in “0s and 1s” into an analog signal that's passed to speakers or headphones and ultimately our ear. In short, DACs play a large part in making digital music hearable.While this technical process is undoubtedly impressive, the DAC embedded into your smartphones or laptops is nowhere good enough to listen to your favourite music recordings in high quality. So, if you want to listen to music in high quality, an external DAC is essential to allow headphones or speakers to perform at their potential. An external DAC, first and foremost, will improve audio quality dramatically.
Pair with Laptop via USB
A majority of people use a laptop as the primary source device to listen to music or watch movies. Since the laptop is an essential part of the audio chain there are headphones and devices designed to work a laptop or computer system flawlessly. With the availability of USB connectivity, it becomes easier to pair various devices like an Amp, DAC or even headphones without worrying about drivers or any additional piece of software.

DESCRIPTION
SHANLING INTRODUCES UA2 PLUS SUCCESSOR TO THE WIDELY POPULAR UA2
Shanling has been at the forefront of designing and developing portable DAC & Amps, UA2 being the prime example. The UA2 was a game-changer when it came to delivering a power-packed performance. Shanling decided to improve upon the architecture and takes; great pleasure in introducing their all-new UA2 Plus portable DAC & Amp successor to the widely popular UA2. With the introduction of the brand-new UA2 Plus, Shanling has improved the much-praised UA2 Portable USB DAC/AMP. Shanling created it using a powerful ES9038Q2M DAC chip and two independent RT6863 amplification chips for crisp and powerful output. The UA2 Plus delivers an output power of 195mW @32Ω (balanced) and 125mW @32Ω (single-ended). Shanling's exclusive low-power consumption, ultra-conversion black technology is featured in the UA2 Plus. It offers flawless performance with an ultra-clean background!



FEATURES ESS SABRE DAC CHIP AND DUAL RT6863 INDEPENDENT AMPLIFICATION CHIPS FOR UNRIVALLED SONIC PERFORMANCE
The Shanling UA2 Plus has phenomenal specifications with a high-performance ES9038Q2M DAC chip incorporated in its circuitry. The DAC chips help determine how successfully the DAC can convert digital to analogue signals. This design consideration might lead to some interference if the DAC chips are not of the highest calibre. Shanling has worked on the premium ES9038Q2M based circuit with a new amp circuit consisting of dual RT6863 amplification chips. The DAC chip and the RT6863 amplification chip deliver unmatched performance with ultra-low distortion and high SNR ratings while decoding high-resolution audio signals. The team of engineers at Shanling considered this design aspect and has included a high-performance ES9038Q2M DAC chip that delivers flawless performance. The ES9038Q2M SABRE Reference DAC is a very high-performance, 32-bit, Stereo audio D/A converter designed for; audiophile-grade portable power-sensitive applications. Using the critically acclaimed ESS patented 32-bit HyperStream™ DAC architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the ES9038Q2M SABRE32 Reference DAC delivers exceptional sonic performance. These DAC chips allow decoding support up to 32-Bit/768kHz and DSD512 (Direct Stream Digital).




ULTRA-CONVERSION BLACK TECHNOLOGY FUSED WITH A HIGH-PRECISION CLOCK DELIVERS JITTER-FREE AUDIO
The devices having an integrated amplifier and DAC chip tend to generate noise. This noise leads to unwanted distortions and jitters, which impacts the overall performance of the headphones/IEMs. The team of engineers at Shanling considered this and has included ultra-frequency conversion black technology that reduces unwanted noise and delivers clean and precise audio output. The UA2 Plus uses Shanling’s self-developed ultra-frequency conversion black technology to adjust the power adaptability according to the working conditions, such as active sample rate, connected IEM impedance, etc. This design effectively reduces the overall power consumption of the device to which the UA2 Plus is connected. Shanling has featured a built-in low-jitter high-precision clock to ensure signal stability during the transmission. It brings a smooth experience with almost zero delays while using the UA2 Plus.


COMPATIBLE WITH NINTENDO SWITCH FOR GAMING AND THE EDDICT PLAYER APP FOR MUSIC
The UA2 Plus has a special mode for Nintendo Switch compatibility for gaming. Shanling UA2 Plus, with its USB-C connection, can work with any smartphone and all its apps without delay. Enjoy movies without audio sync issues and keep your game at the top level with immediate reactions. Shanling UA2 Plus is fully compatible with the official Eddict Player media application. It allows you to fine-tune the volume and also allows you to adjust different settings such as high/low gain switch, digital filter switching, etc.
NOTE: Press down on the Mode switch While connecting UA2 Plus to the gaming console.



EASY CONNECTIVITY WITH HIGH-PURITY SHIELDED CABLE AND DUAL HEADPHONE OUTPUT PORTS
Shnaling UA2 Plus comes with a high-quality cable to ensure lossless signal transmission. A USB-C port makes connectivity simple, and you can connect the UA2 Plus to practically any current smartphone to enjoy pristine audio. It is possible to use the portable UA2 Plus with Android smartphones (USB Type-C) and personal computers. The integrated cable has high-purity copper conductors ensuring excellent conductivity for your audio streams. It has a robust sheath and has cotton/silver insulation specially designed to limit the capture of high-frequency waves, such as those specifically present near a smartphone. The UA2 Plus offers 1x Single-ended stereo Jack of 3.5mm and a 1x Balanced stereo Jack of 4.4mm for easy connectivity with a range of IEMs/headphones.
NOTE: Using their latest advancements in USB DAC power management, engineers at Shanling optimised the UA2 Plus to draw significantly less power from the connected smartphone. Providing for better compatibility and an improved battery life of the smartphone.

4. Low-Jitter High-Precision Jitter Clock
What are the various output ports like on Shanling UA2 Plus?
Need a description for each of these upgrades in brief?
New Amplification Chipset:
In order to bring a cleaner output with low noise in the background, Shanling has upgraded the amplification chipset with dual RT6863 amp chips. Earlier on the UA2, there was only a single RT6863. Two chips here bring better amplification with ultra-low noise floor in the background. It also affects the output impedance of the UA2 Plus. It now has lower Output Impedance Ratings than the predecessor model making it a better companion for highly-sensitive IEMs and Headphones.
New Ultra-Frequency Black Conversion Technology:
Shanling has developed a new Ultra-Frequency Black Conversion Technology for the UA2 Plus. This allows the UA2 Plus to adjust its power requirements according to the working conditions such as active playback sampling rate, connected transducer impedance, etc. According to the Lab tests conducted by Shanling, the UA2 Plus brings drastic improvements in power consumption over the predecessor model making it up to 60% more efficient than the UA2.
New Balanced Headphone Output Port:
Shanling has also replaced the 2.5mm balanced headphone output on the UA2 with the new 4.4mm headphone jack on the UA2 Plus. Most of the current IEMs and headphones use 4.4mm connections with their balanced cables making the UA2 Plus compatible with all the latest IEMs and Headphones. Don’t worry you can always use a 2.5mm to 4.4mm adapter as well if you are still stuck with 2.5mm terminated cables.
Low-Jitter High-Precision Jitter Clock:
Shanling UA2 Plus features a low-jitter high-precision clock for the audio circuitry. It promises a smoother experience with almost zero delays. So enjoy the high-quality audio performance for movies, music, and games.
