I just cant believed I pulled the trigger on the S2 today…(Coming from S1- for my iPhone) (kinda impulsive purchase tbh) Right off the bat I think it worth the investment! Currently listening on it and most of the things improvements have been positive! 1 thing I can confirm is the EMI/RFI...

Great impression! Just curious, are both of your S1 & S2 already updated to their latest FW version 1.0.0.11? My S1 sounded like having that additional “oomph” with a little bit improvement on its dynamics presentation as well, right after updating to latest FW. Plus, for S2 vs S1 - (apart...

Hey Guys, This might be out of topic. While I am just recently switched back from Lotoo PAW S1, I was using my old 1st gen BTR5 on iPhone (wired) with OEAudio lightning to usb-c cable. Then I recently noticed that it can be bypassed to use as DAC on iOS 15.1 (beta). I no longer needed to...

Same goes for mine with my SE846. The real problem for me are the paint chipped off pretty ugly at the bottom due to my commuting almost everyday with it (since the day I got it around Dec 2019). *attached image is my chipped DFC* A little wiggle on the jack was quite worrisome but it stays...

This is an eye opening! Thanks for the info! Guess l’ll steer clear for a while now.

Thanks for the reply and yes, the generic design is pretty obvious. Have you tried them though? especially since the DAC uses a slightly different ES9281cPro (with a “pro”) . I guess it’s mainly targeting the IEM users demographic.

What’s up fellas! This is my first posting. Sorry for my english as it is not my first language. *wink* As a mobile phone user, I am curious in trying out this little headphone/IEM dongle from ALO Audio. However, it is not yet available for testing in my country where I currently residing. On...

Dear friend, Appreciate much for the brief explanation with thanks. You made me feel contented for now to simply enjoy my listening session after reading those. Although some of the technicalities and terminology were fairly beyond my knowledge, (or maybe just for me), for now I doubt that my...

Same here, I don’t have Windows PC around me so I cannot upgrade to FW v2.0 yet. However will this upgrade brings any substantial different in any way? I noticed my BTR5 sometimes having the playback issue where the track plays faster/slower and elevated key. I’m using it as USB DAC on my iPhone...

I have both DFR and DFC, to me the DFC for sure sounded much relaxed and less harsh on the highs. Also there were no hiss with my SE846 + ALO Ref 8 cable. ONLY... ...after 5 month of use (NOT EVERYDAY)... the DFC starts developing wiggle. I am always babying it since the day it is unboxed and...

Anyone, help! :( @FiiO sorry I haven’t reply your comments but now my USB function is doing good only until... ...today my FiiO BTR5’s LED screen goes off permanently! Is anybody experiencing the same? Luckily it didn’t happen while it turned off (otherwise I thought it doesn’t turn on). I...

Thanks, for the reply & suggestion. It’s the cable from the original iPhone box (with fast charging adapter) so I doubt that it is due to MFi certificate thingy. I suspect (hope not) it’s an energy related issue or something... @FiiO are you guys maybe able to advise? Thanks

I just got this last 2 days. For me they sounds incredible and almost surpassing my DFC Cobalt when using them in USB DAC mode + balanced output. Also, they sounds very mature and big!. Now am thinking of switching to Android from iOS - just for the LDAC (not sure if it worth the sacrifice)...

Happy New Year, Everybody! I’m waiting for my unit but I have tested the BTR5 pretty frequently in store, & I have planned to be using it with my iPhone. Same idea with @al2813 ... Then for the cases’ case, if it’s gonna hooked with direct short USB-C to Lightning cable, the BTR leather case...

Thanks! For the brief reply. Yeah, anyway, I will only 100% mainly using them for IEM. DFC probably for the uses of more than IEM I guess. Maybe BTR5 is efficiently perfect for IEM. Now am just curious if the sounds are significantly better when in USB-dac mode (on iPhone) vs. Bluetooth (LDAC...
