Shanling UA4 Silver
Shanling UA4 Silver
The Shanling UA4 is a miniature device built entirely around an ESS generation DAC chip, the ES9069Q. The result is a brilliantly balanced device that offers playback at up to 768kHz/32bit and DSD512. It also boasts surprisingly good specs, such as a high signal-to-noise ratio. Shanling has paired the aforementioned DAC chip with dual Ricore RT6863 amplifier chips, delivering a fully balanced output with up to 227mW of power at 32 ohms. The UA4 brings several improvements over previous portable DAC amplifier models. One of these changes is reduced power consumption from the source device. The result is up to 40% less power consumption during music playback and up to 65% less in standby mode.
