GET IN TOUCHUltra-Portable Hi-Res USB DAC & Amp
Shanling is proud to introduce its all-new UA1S USB DAC & Amp. The UA1s is a Hi-Res DAC & Amp capable of decoding up to PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) 384kHz/32bit and DSD256 (Direct Stream Digital) Natively. It provides up to 80mW @32 Ohm output power sufficient for powering most IEMs and highly efficient headphones. It has a 3.5mm output compatible with most headphones and IEMs.
Shanling has incorporated a single DAC chip from ESS Sabre ESS ES9219C. It supports sampling rates up to 32bit/384kHz & DSD256 Hi-Res. It is a spectacular-sounding single-chip solution from ESS, a staple of many classic Shanling designs.
Shanling has introduced their in-house developed FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) USB input. UA1s hosts a brand-new FPGA technique to accomplish a reliable, high-speed, low-latency operation. It uses a decreased 1.2V low-voltage core and embedded flash with a 55nm process for minimal power consumption.
Shanling optimised the UA1s to draw significantly less power from the connected smartphone. This design offers better compatibility and improved battery life for the smartphone. The UA1s utilise 60% in standby mode and 40% during playback mode, making the UA1s highly power efficient. Shanling UA1s has an LED light indicator that serves as a playback indicator, providing clear information on the currently playing sampling rate.
The Shanling UA1s' type-C connection makes it simple to connect to most smartphones. It also comes with a USB-A adapter for additional compatibility. You may modify gain, select your preferred digital filter, and fine-tune volume levels with the UA1s' support for the Eddict Player companion app. Thanks to the immediate USB connection, you may enjoy your movies and games without any delay.
A high-quality copper USB-C to USB-C cable is included with the UA1s. Lossless signal transmission is made possible by the high-purity copper cable. The USB-C connector, however, may be switched out for most "cables" with various lengths or designs to precisely match your Android phone, PC, or even iOS device because it is the industry standard.

Have a question? Get in touch!
Check out the most common questions our customers ask. Still have questions? Talk to our Headphone Gurus.
How does a DAC make a difference to the sound?
Our smartphones have become our default source of music. The only problem here is they are very convenient for music listening, but smartphones aren't made to sound great.
A digital-to-analogue converter or DAC chip converts digital music files to an analogue signal output from your phone. All phones, laptops, and really any device with a 3.5mm output would have an inbuilt DAC. Unfortunately, most smartphone DACs are woefully inadequate in giving you a good-quality sound output.
A dedicated portable DAC is a powerful device that connects to your smartphone through Bluetooth, USB-C, or Lightning cable and bypasses the phone's built-in DAC. The DAC can decode high-resolution audio up to the highest formats and can have a profound effect on the sound, making your listening experience on your headphones more engaging.
Do I really need a DAC for my Headphones or IEMs?
Most smartphones and laptops with a 3.5mm output would have an inbuilt DAC. But they usually sound basic and can make listening to music on nice pair of headphones boring. They are also, simply put, not capable of playing high-resolution audio formats.
A dedicated DAC will decode the audio format you are listening to, reproducing minute details accurately to be played back on your headphones or speakers. Good DACs can make music sound more detailed, lifelike and accurate, even if you may be streaming music over Spotify or other streaming services. If you pair your headphones with a decent DAC, you'll get the finest results from a high-resolution streaming service like Apple Music or Tidal.
Using a dedicated DAC is a great way to start if you have high-quality headphones and want them to sound their best.
How do I connect a DAC to my smartphone or laptop?
If you're using an Android phone,
Android phones usually offer a Type-C port for charging and data transmission. DACs in general come with USB Type-C male connectors, which can be paired easily to your smartphone.
If you're using an iOS device with a lightning port,
iOS devices like Apple smartphones have a Lightning port for charging and data transmission. DAC manufacturers in general provide a Lightning cable or a Lightning connector, which terminates to female Type-C. If not, it is simple to buy the connector or the Type-C to lightning cable separately.
If you're using a Laptop with Windows
Laptops have a USB-A port, and DACs feature Type-C to USB-A connectors that make it easy to connect the two devices. For some DACs to function flawlessly, drivers may need to be installed.
If you're using a Mac,
A Mac usually has a USB-A port, and DACs feature Type-C to USB-A connectors/cables that make it easy to connect the two devices. For some DACs to function flawlessly, drivers may need to be installed.
If your DAC supports Bluetooth,
Some DACs also support Bluetooth, so you may stream music wirelessly while listening to music by simply pairing your phone with the DAC and connecting your preferred earphones or IEMs.
Moreover, Bluetooth DACs offer app support, giving you access to a variety of filters, EQ settings, and much more.
Will this DAC & Amp be able to drive my Headphones or IEMs?
The Shanling - UA1s DAC & Amp is a portable DAC ideally meant to be used along with IEMs when listening to music on the go or with easy-to-drive headphones.
In general, these are not the best suited to use along with high-impedance headphones or full-sized open-back headphones, and we’d recommend getting something with a higher output power, like a dedicated desktop amplifier.
Does it require drivers?
Yep! For Shanling UA1S requires drivers if you are on Win 10, 7 or 8.1. Click here to download the specific drivers for your system.
