I own the Shanling UA1S, for me it exhibits the typical ess sabre sharpness in the treble and makes it sooo energetic which compliments some songs but i am getting frustrated by many other songs too. It is definitely on the bright side for sure, I don't think so it's on the warmer side as mentioned in the video. I suggest going for 7hz 71 (if you don't want extra 0.6Vrms that you get with shanling), it has an amazing smooth treble and balanced sound signature. BE CAREFUL THE 7HZ 71 HAS BRIGHT BLUE LIGHT which will be frustrating in the night, not a big issue u can cover it up with something.
is it for the bass head, I'm using Sennheiser ie 200. I'm using Headphone Zone X DDHiF. But sometimes it is heating at the plug point. The bass is also low with this adapter if compared to directly connected without this X DDHiF Dac. I'm getting good bass without this DAC. Which DAC is good for me.
@@ELECTRONICSALLINFO it has both boosted bass and boosted highs but ua1s is discountinued right. Shanling knew this issue and fixed it with a new model UA1 plus, but this Headphonezone wont criticize at all. Loot at their review in this video, he says as if it's perfect.
I am using Truthhear Hola and Tangzu waner SG with my mobile Realme 9 pro plus. Poweramp full version i am using. To upgrade i just purchased Shanling UA 1 Plus, but it disappointed me for narrow soundstage and missing musicality. I dont like bass. I like detatiled and wide sound stage and more musical, clear instuments sound. Please suggest best DAC for my preference. Thank you.
In another review from Headphone Zone itself, I heard that the port is a balanced one on the UA1S but in this review, he said that the port is unbalanced. Kindly provide more clarity on that. Thanks!
Sir, I am an keen audio enthusiast. But, this lil dongle DAC(Ifi Go Link) didn't make any difference to my music quality listening from my phone(Asus Rog 5s + Apple Music + Truthear Hola). The inbuilt DAC in the phone I think it is of the same grade / class if not better. I was expecting greatly from it after hearing praises from prominent reviewers about it. What could be the issue here?
Hello ! Does the Shanling - UA1s work with ipad pro 12.9 M1 chip usb type C ! As normal usb c to headphone jack dont work ! Please reply! Need your expertise.
It should but don’t buy first go to any accessory physical shop and try any usb c dac product because you know apple they are too much shady i had ipad pro m1 but i sold it because they didn’t brought desktop level applications to it years ago so never assume or trust on Apple just experience first
Do you have any comparisons with the UA1 plus? I have a budget of around 10k for an iem and dac combo and the best detachable(must have feature) one I could find was this one(any alternative that you could suggest? Like the moondrop dawn pro, ua1s is not available in your store atm) Also what iem should I pair this with? This pairing is specifically for vocals, say for example: Seafret Atlantis(all time favourite) Songs from adele, Lana Del Ray, Zayn, Kina etc For bass heavy I have realmes and xiaomis lol. Any good iems for bass heavy, edms and watching shows with that boomy effect that you could suggest would be nice too(for later).
Sure, for enhancing your Audio-Technica M40X headphones, you might want to consider the FiiO - KA13 DAC. It's a great option for improving the audio quality and listening experience.
Yes, you can use the Sennheiser Momentum 3 headphones with the iFi Audio GO Link, but it would be through the 3.5mm connection, which is an unbalanced connection. The iFi Audio GO Link primarily offers an unbalanced 3.5mm Single Ended output for your audio needs.
While the iFi Audio - GO Link is a versatile DAC that works well with many headphones, it's important to note that the HD58X can benefit from a fair bit more power to perform at its best. For optimum performance with the HD58X, you might want to consider a more powerful DAC or amplifier, especially if you're aiming for a higher volume or want to unlock the full potential of these headphones. If you have more questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask. Happy listening! 🎧🔊
I have tin hifi t3plus and i want a mini dac for hires lossless audio for iphone , searched alot but not get any satisfactory review . I want to listen the song in enjoyable mode like i want to listen every instrument with nice separation should i go for portable dac. Or shanling m0pro which would also act as dac for my iphone please suggest me , searching from last 15 days
Yes, both the iFi Audio GO Link and the Shanling UA1s can effectively drive the Truthear - Zero: RED. They are capable of delivering the power and clarity needed to enjoy the full potential of these IEMs. You can choose either of them based on your personal preferences and budget. Happy listening! 🎧🎶
Hey there! It seems like you might be encountering a known issue with the Roon app. One of the best ways to resolve this is to double-check the DSD output settings within the app. Make sure you've selected DSD256 as the output option, as your Go Link supports this resolution. If the issue persists, consider checking for any app updates or reaching out to Roon's support for further assistance. Good luck, and we hope you can enjoy your DSD256 music soon!
Hey there, the Go Link can drive the AKG K701 and HD600, but it may not be able to deliver ample power for them to shine to their full potential. The BTR7 is more powerful and can drive even the most demanding headphones. If you want the best sound quality, we would recommend the BTR7.
@@headphone_zone Thank you for your response! Iwas thinking the go bar too, do you believe is better option? As Mojo 2 is quite expensive. Can I hear difference between Go Bar and Mojo 2 or BTR7? Thank you!

@@headphone_zone hmm ,, i thought of using it separately jic ,, so if i connect sal notes 3.5mm with oneplus 3.5mm to type c to dac will there be any difference in audio quality ???
Hey there! Both dongle DACs mentioned are decent options, but considering the DT770 Pro 80 Ohms, which requires more power, you might want to consider something powerful like the Topping DX1. While dongle DACs work well with IEMs and lower-impedance headphones, the DT770 80 Ohms benefits from a powerful amp to reach its full potential. The Topping DX1 should provide the extra power needed for a better listening experience with the DT770 Pro 80 Ohms. Enjoy your music! 🎧🎵
Proud owner of iFi Audio GO Link. Works like charm! 🙌

You should go for the iFi Audio- Go Link.

Same phone but 7hz salnotes zero which dac is better option? because normal connector just would not work
which one will be better paired with my cca pla 13...does it have any distinct advantage over my abigail pro ?
The iFi Audio - GO Link would be better suited as the CCA - PLA13 requires more amplification and the GO Link would be able to provide that.
Shanling ua1s vs ifi audio go link which one has better soundstaging and imaging?
There are subtle differences between the two, but i dont think theres anyway to differentiate between the two using soundstage and imaging.

Can be used for 2.0 speakers with rca cable, 3.5m?
Hey there, yes, you can use the GO Link and use a 3.5mm to RCA cable to use it with your speakers.
Does iF Go link works with Sennheiser Momentum 3 headphones.
Also iF Go link output is balanced or unbalanced?
Yes, you can use the Sennheiser Momentum 3 headphones with the iFi Audio GO Link, but it would be through the 3.5mm connection, which is an unbalanced connection. The iFi Audio GO Link primarily offers an unbalanced 3.5mm Single Ended output for your audio needs.
