    FiiO BTA30,Hi-Fi desktop bluetooth receiver&transmitter,RCA/Optical/Coaxial interface

    Hi, I finally got this to work. Make sure that the Headphones app is set up so that you are not allowing two devices to connect to the headphones at the same time. The BTA30 light should go a very slight shade of purple. Let us know if it works!

    Thanks a lot Derek10!! Your image is perfect and the light looks exactly like what I’m seeing. I see the discussion on MBP to LDAC, and for me, that’s also a need. I would likely be in the camp that could not tell the difference between LDAC and AptX-HD, but my Sony headphones cannot receive...

    A follow-up: putting the Sony XM-4 headphones into single device only mode opens up another mode which I assume is LDAC. Double pressing the pair button on the BTA now flips between blue and a purplish white. The Sony headphone don’t accept Apt-x so I’m assuming this is white. Is the white light...

    Hi all, I am running the headphone jack from my Marantz AV receiver to a Oehlbach analog to digital converter. This is capable of 96khz sampling. This then goes over coaxial to the BTA30, transmitting to my Sony 1000-XM4. Unfortunately, this is over SMB codec, but I want LDAC. I can’t see why...

    Yeah, I think my only hope would be some crazy ali-wide coupon, but doubt that happens... I’ll probably get impatient anyhow.

    I’m waiting, probably in vain, for a Black Friday deal, but either way pulling the trigger this month. Definitely jinxed it for being sold out now 😅

    Help with Sony MX4 BT Solution

    Thanks both for your input. I’m thinking then whether I should route my phono out to my AV Amp via cable, then have the BTA30 input hooked up to the AV digital out? This effectively gives my vinyl an LDAC out. Right? Then, I can use AirPlay to transmit from the Apple devices to that same AV...

    Thanks @Tano I think I will try and get hold of one for the TV Box I have too come to think of it. Look forward to reading your impressions!

    Help with Sony MX4 BT Solution

    Hi all, I have spent hours trying to find a solution, but am currently without success, and was hoping that someone with more wisdom than me could offer some advice. I would be so grateful. I would like to get the most out of my new Sony WH-1000XM4 Bluetooth headphones by leveraging LDAC. I...

    I’ve been searching for a way to transmit my record player output via ldac, and thought I had found the grail here, but I think not, sadly. Is there another FiiO product that does the job, that is not a DAP? Thanks!

    USB DAC for PC (Win 10) + Bluetooth w/ LDAC transmitter

    I haven’t found any others as yet. Can anyone confirm whether the Fiio M5 can transmit incoming signal to LDAC like the M6 and Shanling M0 can please?

    There’s Chrono24, certainly a safe option. Good luck!

    FiiO M5 Review

    Thanks for the great review. I was wondering if you knew whether the M5 can act as a pass through: taking external input and transmitting LDAC Bluetooth please? Thanks in advance for any info! Niko
