Shanling UP6 blue
Shanling UP6 is a premium portable DAC and headphone amplifier with both balanced and unbalanced outputs, designed for discerning listeners on the go. At its core, the device features a pair of top-of-the-line ESS ES9069Q chips, which ensure maximum precision digital-to-analogue conversion with support for PCM 32bit/768kHz and DSD512. The output power reaches up to 626mW at 32Ω (balanced), so it can handle even the most demanding headphones. Bluetooth 5.2 with a Qualcomm QCC5125 chip provides wireless streaming with support for all high-quality codecs – including LDAC, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive. For wired connections, there is an XMOS XU316 USB interface with precise timing using a pair of KDS crystals, ensuring a clean and stable music transfer.
