Shanling - UA3
Thank you for your valuable review!
I had been using Abigail with my Tforce Yuan Li Dark Soul for a few months. I learned that Yuan Li needs much more power to shine. So I kept looking for a perfect dac that has enough power and also has a 'velvety' sound signature.
After listening through UA3, it significantly improved the sound quality in all the aspects. Bass got accentuated and I am loving how tight and deep it is now. Vocals are impressively forward and the soundstage has widened. I am absolutely loving it. I am getting all this from the single end 3.5mm jack. I'm getting a 4.4 mm cable soon to have even better immersive experience.
The build quality is just awesome. Go for it!
Thanks a lot!!! We appreciate the genuine feedback and we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well.
This little powerhouse of a DAC has certainly exceeded my expectations from a Dongle DAC. Wanted to try an AKM based chip and Lotoo PAW S1 is costing almost 50% more than this DAC, where as this DAC also has a better AKM chip. So the sale made it easier for me to buy this DAC over Lotoo one.
My main DAC is Ifi Zen DAC V2 and it's cetreianly my best DAC but UA3 comes a close second. It's certainly better than my JDS labs ODAC or Fiio E17.
Like advertised, this one has velvet smooth sound signature and which is tad bit smoother than the Burr Brown based Zen DAC V2 which has slightly crisp treble and tighter Bass.
I don't have a frame of reference for similarly priced DACs but i am perfectly happy with this purchase and at 8k this is certainly worth buying for non criticale listening which most people won't do with IEMs or portable headphones anyways.
I didn't face any connectivity issue however I read some other website reviews for UA3 and couple of them mention the compatibility issue. For me though, this DAC worked out of the box without a single issue.
The type C Cable provided seems but too tight for my liking and also could have been longer especially considering this DAC has Type A adapter in the box.
Hi there, we are so happy you took out time and elaborately reviewed the product. We are sure this will help our customers to make an even better and informed decision.
Returning this product, malfunctioning after purchase, worked only for 3 days
Sounds clean, is powerful enough for IEM's, not so good for headphones and with good reason as it is just a Portable DAC/AMP. Not very resolving or detailed but good for casual listening. The 4.4mm balanced output is obviously more powerful and if your IEM has a 4.4mm termination then it can make the music sound louder, clearer and better and will probably handle the quietest files. A reasonable option at the price. I believe for something more sophisticated you may have to shell out more bucks. So, all in all a reasonable price to performance ratio.
Hey there, thank you for the great review and ratings! So delighted that you are loving your purchase. Hope you had a comfortable shopping experience. Cheers!
The build quality is top-notch, with a solid aluminum casing that feels durable and premium. The controls are easy to use, with intuitive buttons
When it comes to sound quality, the UA3 does not disappoint. AKM DAC Provides its Signature Velvet Sound with excellent detail and clarity. The amp provides ample power to drive my Sundara. The USB-C input also allows for fast and stable connection to a variety of devices.
Overall, the Shanling UA3 is a fantastic choice for a high-quality portable DAC . Its exceptional sound quality, premium build, and convenient features make it the most VFM Dac Below 10K IMO
Hey Vinayak, thanks a lot for this lovely review and we are glad you are enjoying it! Keep the music playing.
