Shanling Magnetic Dongle Holster – Apple MagSafe compatible transport case for USB-DAC
Anyone who wants to use a small USB DAC dongle with an integrated headphone amplifier in conjunction with a smartphone could find the new Shanling Magnetic Dongle Holster an extremely practical solution that makes handling the small converter much easier in everyday life.
- The new Shanling Magnetic Dongle Holster is a practical Apple MagSafe-compatible solution for the convenient use of a USB DAC dongle on an Apple iPhone or any smartphone.
Of course, Bluetooth headphones clearly dominate the market in the personal audio segment; they are used by many users as a daily companion for music playback directly from their smartphone. However, there are still users who swear by wired headphones and are even prepared to invest in an additional D/A converter and headphone amplifier, which are required for high-quality signal conversion in conjunction with any modern smartphone.
For these users, the Chinese company Shanling now offers a simple but extremely practical solution to make the handling of a UDB-DAC dongle considerably easier in everyday life, namely the new Shanling Magnetic Dongle Holster.
Leather case for USB DAC
As a mobile playing partner for smartphones, solutions that present themselves as particularly compact, if possible even particularly tiny, as is the case with so-called USB DAC dongles, which usually also have an integrated headphone amplifier, are of course recommended first and foremost.
Shanling itself has quite a few products in its programme, such as the Shanling UA Series and thus solutions like the Shanling UA1 up to the Shanling UA5, but also more exclusive products like the ONIX XI1.
All of these solutions have to be attached to the smartphone somehow, and this is exactly what the new Shanling Magnetic Dongle Holster is designed to do in a particularly simple way.
As the name suggests, it is a so-called holster that is piggybacked onto the smartphone. In the case of a current Apple iPhone, this is particularly easy, as the new Shanling Magnetic Dongle Holster is designed as an Apple Corporation-certified solution with Apple MagSafe. The case is attached to the Apple iPhone using a magnet.
However, if you use any other smartphone, the Shanling Magnetic Dongle Holster comes with a metal clip with double-sided adhesive tape, which can also be used to securely attach the case to the smartphone.
Made of leather and microfibre
The base of the Shanling Magnetic Dongle Holster is made of leather, on which a loop of solid microfibre is sewn, which is so flexible that USB DACs of different sizes can be fixed in it.
A second loop is used to secure the headphone cable so that it is also easier to handle.
Prices and availability
The Shanling Magnetic Dongle Holster is available in two colours, black and orange. This solution is available immediately at a price of US$ 20,-.
Getting to the point
The new Shanling Magnetic Dongle Holster from Shanling could be an extremely practical solution for attaching this device to the smartphone for all those who do not rely on a wireless solution and thus Bluetooth headphones for music playback directly from the smartphone, but prefer particularly high-quality headphones with a cable and a corresponding USB DAC dongle.
