    [FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Yes, I have, when 2 devices are actively paired, 3rd cannot be connected, but once one of them is disconnected any device is free to connect, sometimes I have to press any button on BTR5 before it allows getting connected to, but that's all the connectivity control it has. Do You own a BTR5 as...

    [FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    @FiiO Please advise on BTR5 discovery issue. I've asked Aliexpress official store (where I purchased it), they answered with "we will test first and contact you again", 2 weeks later no answer, and support e-mail, doesn't answer as well. When FiiO BTR5 is on, connected to my main device, ANY...

    [FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    First of all, thanks for the heads up, second of all, what volume level and for how long, and if 2.5mm (with dual AMP) or 3.5mm (with single AMP) output was used, and finally, third of all, what have You've been smoking, "... BTR5 without the clip too - the sound stage seems wider in addition to...

    Reply to review by 'Yukicore' on item 'FiiO BTR5'

    Maybe I'm wrong, but balanced cables sounded better separated on BTR5. Most likely due to the technical design of the device, not the cable itself. Sounds great either way, with either jacks, but obviously better with 2.5. I even purchased a new 2.5 cable just for this device, and oh so good...

    My Fiio BTR5 is always discoverable, anyone can connect and play their music on my BTR5. I cant find a way to disable it being discoverable? This is bad.

    USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best

    I have the non-Pro version of Meizu DAC, and through Windows using usb-c > usb-a adapter there is no popping issue at all. (In fact it seems there's significantly less popping than with my desktop mini DAC Fiio E10K, when there's sudden starts/stops of audio) When I connect it to my Google Pixel...

    Hidizs Sonata HD DAC cable - new tiny and mighty DAC&AMP

    Do You have an issue when if I pause playback, then some time later when you try to resume with the in-line controls, they do not respond to play/pause? Volume keys work fine though, for me. Then, when I use the software notification for resuming the playback, volume runs back to 0, after that I...

    Hidizs Sonata HD DAC cable - new tiny and mighty DAC&AMP

    Well, using the phone's mic is the smallest of the issues. The most infuriating issue is that the in-line controls often don't work. And when I unlock the phone, it slides volume all the way down, and sometimes the volume button on the phone don't work until I re-plug the DAC. It's 2019, and we...

    Hidizs Sonata HD DAC cable - new tiny and mighty DAC&AMP

    With that I meant that the dongle doesn't redirect the microphone function to phone. So I have to unplug the headphones for the person to be able to hear me through the phone's microphone. Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough. Sure, compaining is in my veins, but I also mentioned that I...

    Hidizs Sonata HD DAC cable - new tiny and mighty DAC&AMP

    My biggest problem using the Sonata DAC II on Pixel 2XL is that the in-line controls/microphone are inconsistent, it wasn't an issue with the included Pixel dongle, only the sound quality was. I tried all the firmwares, on A,B,v2 the inline microphone on Fiio F9 works, but on headphones without...

    FiiO BTR3-The World' First Bluetooth Headphone Amplifier, SBC/AAC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX HD/LDAC/HWA (LHDC)

    Yeah, I was thinking about this too, when I wrote the comment. I wonder if it's the same case with Fiio too. But to be fair, as much as it could be codec related more than range, I saw a video of a guy testing this, both of the Fiios were there, and BTR1K really had ~30m signal, while BTR3 had...

    FiiO BTR3-The World' First Bluetooth Headphone Amplifier, SBC/AAC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX HD/LDAC/HWA (LHDC)

    But what about the statements that Bluetooth 5 has presumably 2X the performance/throughput, 4X the distance, and more stable signal. I mean, it's probably not that much of a difference in real life, but still. I've read some controversial posts about LDAC, and if it also has bluetooth...

    FiiO BTR3-The World' First Bluetooth Headphone Amplifier, SBC/AAC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX HD/LDAC/HWA (LHDC)

    I guess I ought to wait for a *not confirmed* BTR3K aka updated BTR3. Micro USB just doesn't work for me, I need USB-C so I can use the same cable for everything, and Bluetooth 5.0 for more stable connection, as I've heard 4.2 is struggling. It's sad that the BTR1K didn't work out for me, I...

    FiiO BTR3-The World' First Bluetooth Headphone Amplifier, SBC/AAC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX HD/LDAC/HWA (LHDC)

    Hello, Head-Fi 'ers I come disappointed after purchasing Fiio BTR1K, it's a good product, for the most part, it does it's job, I guess. Signal is great, no hiccups at all on steady streaming. Sadly, that's not it.. At first I thought that was just being paranoid, because it sounded great, I did...
