SHANLING UA7
Portable DAC and Tube Headphone Amplifier
The Shanling UA7 is a high-performance portable DAC/AMP that combines cutting-edge digital audio fidelity with the warmth of analog sound. Its central component is the ESS ES9069 DAC, capable of decoding 768 kHz/32 bit PCM and native DSD512, ensuring crystal-clear audio resolution. What makes the UA7 special is the two prominently visible JAN6418 vacuum tubes, which provide a rich, tube-like sound, and offer the option to switch to solid-state output for a cleaner, more neutral profile. Combined with the OP+BUF amplifier architecture, the UA7 delivers up to 577 mW output power at 32 Ω, which is sufficient to confidently drive high-impedance or high-power-demand headphones.
Housed in a compact aluminum body, the UA7 is sleek and robust, weighing only 48.5 g. The 0.87-inch OLED screen provides real-time playback information, while the multifunction wheel offers intuitive control. It features 3.5 mm single-ended and 4.4 mm balanced outputs, making it compatible with various devices. The USB-C connection offers plug-and-play use with Android, Windows, and macOS devices, and the Shanling Eddict Player app allows for deeper customization (available on Android/Windows devices only).
The UA7 is designed for audiophiles, musicians, and discerning music listeners seeking a portable, high-fidelity device. It's a compact and truly versatile unit that delivers an immersive listening experience. The box includes a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A adapter.
