Shanling UA7

The Shanling UA7 combines audiophile engineering with a portable high-end design, presenting itself as an uncompromising USB DAC and headphone amplifier for music lovers with the highest demands. Equipped with the high-resolution ESS-ES9069 DAC chip, the UA7 delivers outstanding signal processing up to PCM 768 kHz/32 Bit and native DSD512. Its hybrid amplifier architecture combines transistor technology with two JAN6418 vacuum tubes, which add a characteristic warmth and fullness to the sound. Thanks to the intelligent circuit design, seamless switching between transistor and tube mode is possible, uniting two sonically distinct profiles in one device. A finely tuned amplifier layout with OPA1612, OPA1662, and BUF634 components supports signal quality and offers dynamics and control at reference level. Operation is comfortable via an integrated 0.87-inch OLED display and a multifunctional rotary knob with a push function. Two gain levels, digital filters, adjustable channel balance, and display options can be controlled directly on the device or through the Eddict Player app for Android and Windows. A specially designed shock absorption system effectively protects the sensitive tubes from mechanical stress, ensuring long-lasting operation. Weighing only 48.5 g and featuring a robust, elegantly designed case, the UA7 impresses with its high quality even on the go. The craftsmanship is as high-quality as the technical interior, drawing on over 37 years of experience in audio engineering. The UAC1.0 compatibility mode also makes it an ideal solution for gamers—especially in combination with consoles like the Nintendo Switch. The HiRes certification guarantees lossless playback at the highest level, regardless of genre or source.
