If it is purely for portable, balanced output without any EQ, I would think they are about equal.

Now the BTR5 is back available in the UK (not sure if this is the new revised version or not), I'm choosing between two options.

Fiio BTR5 vs Qudelix 5K? I'll be using either via balanced, and I'm not bothered about EQ abilities.
Besides the PEQ, heres what else 5K has extra over the BTR5:
Smaller size and almost half the weight
Actually suited to be used as a wired DAC as it can be powered directly from USB bypassing the battery so it doesnt shorten the battery longevity.
Supported sample rate selection for codecs
A2DP Latency selection
USB mic function
Transparency mode for enabling the mic to hear surrounding.
Crosfeed DSP
Actual codec bitrate display
Bluetooth audio source priority
Much longer maximum Battery life(up to 20 hours)
Better antenna/range

iFi Audio GO Blue added to the list.

This thing looks gorgeous, but also with a steep price to match - US$199.

Just placed an pre-order for the GO Blu, hopefully it won't take too long to arrive.
