Model overview based on user reviews  
Shanling UA1 is a compact USB headphone amplifier that noticeably improves sound quality and offers a dedicated settings app. However, both users report periodic sound interruptions, including on Sony Xperia, Samsung devices, and Windows, which can significantly affect everyday use. The device also does not support answering calls through connected headphones.

It's a normal device, but the sound interruption negates all the advantages.

Buy if you are not annoyed by the interruption of sound and the inability to answer calls using headphones with this device.
Really improves the sound. There is a proprietary application for settings.
The sound stops. Moreover, I contacted the manufacturer and they confirm that the sound is interrupted with Windows. Moreover, they don't even know how to fix it. My sound is also interrupted with Samsung devices (I haven’t tried listening with others).
