Switch between four-DAC and eight-DAC modes on the device itself. It delivers up to 365mW into 32Ω from its 4.4mm balanced output, with a 133dB signal-to-noise ratio, and plays PCM up to 768kHz\/32-bit and native DSD512.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/p00.jpg?v=1791343269\" alt=\"Shanling UA6 II premium USB DAC with 8× DAC architecture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/p01.jpg?v=1791347845\" alt=\"Shanling UA6 II features\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn eight-core DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the popular UA6 platform, the UA6 II adds four more CS43131 DACs, for a neutral, detailed sound with staggering measurements. Shanling says the synergy of the extra DACs brings more stability and resolution, taking a portable dongle further than before. The balanced output reaches 133dB signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range, and the 3.5mm output 128dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/p02.jpg?v=1791343274\" alt=\"The eight CS43131 DACs of the Shanling UA6 II\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTop-end design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aluminium chassis and tempered glass, compact size and low weight (about 30.8g), together with Shanling’s latest design ideas adopted from the flagship UA7, make it easy to carry.
