Almost four years ago, Shanling launched the UP5, a flagship model in our UP line of portable Bluetooth DAC/AMPS. This device was celebrated for its impressive performance and compact design, making it a favorite among audiophiles on the go. However, after the UP5, the lineup saw a pause, with no new models released in subsequent years. The focus shifted toward larger, more powerful DACs within our H line, leaving the compact Bluetooth segment somewhat dormant.

The Revival in 2025

Exciting news for audio enthusiasts: in 2025, Shanling is bringing the UP line back to life with a fully upgraded flagship model the Shanling UP6. This new device marks a significant upgrade, blending powerful audio performance with modern features all packed into a sleek, portable form factor.

Exceptional Audio Performance

The Shanling UP6 is equipped with cutting-edge components to deliver superior sound quality. Its upgraded audio section features two ESS ES9069Q DACs paired with dual SGM8262 amplifiers, enabling a fully balanced headphone output. This setup provides an impressive up to 626mW @ 32Ω output power enough to drive high-impedance headphones effortlessly, all powered directly from its internal battery without the need for external power sources or bulky cables.

Thanks to this robust output, the UP6 stands among the most powerful compact Bluetooth DACs available today, easily rivaling top-tier USB dongle DACs.

Modern Wireless Connectivity

The UP6 takes a leap forward in wireless streaming technology with the integration of the Qualcomm QCC5125 module. This upgrade supports high-quality codecs such as LDAC, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and AAC, ensuring smooth, lossless, and high-resolution wireless audio playback.

Versatile Connectivity Options

Beyond Bluetooth, the UP6 can double as a USB DAC for computers and smartphones, unlocking full potential for lossless Hi-Res audio. It features an XMOS XU316 USB input, allowing seamless connection to a variety of devices and supporting high-fidelity digital audio transmission.

Thoughtful Design and User Experience

While maintaining the durability and premium feel of its predecessor, the UP6 has been slightly larger to accommodate a bigger 1.54-inch color screen. This display provides direct access to all key settings, making operation straightforward and intuitive.

In addition, the device’s lightweight design around 50 grams ensures portability without sacrificing performance.

Enhanced Control with Eddict Player App

To further enhance user experience, Shanling offers the Eddict Player app, which adds functionalities such as customizable EQ settings and over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates. This allows users to tailor their listening experience and keep the device up-to-date with the latest features.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
