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

    The "pop" issue on my btr-5 was not heat releated nor did it go away when I drove somewhere where there wasnt any other BT devices within 500m, also happens with all codecs and both output ports, also tried with 2 different transmitters. Unfortonately its from china ebay so prob no warranty.

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

    I just tested with both outputs, happens on both but havent tested other codecs as I only use those. I wonder if its somekinda overheat issue even though Im always running from battery only, it can work fine for like an hour in the morning before it starts acting out. Definitely broken unit. I...

    The Hi-Fi + Hi-Res Audiophiles' Bluetooth Headphone Adapter Thread - [17.Oct.21] iFi GO Blu impression added

    I know it is supposed to be lower quality but I have a switch on my transmitter to change between HD and LL, with quick switching in between I dont really notice the difference in quality with Sundaras and 58X, I mainly leave it for LL for daily use, sometimes HD for music, for my ears the...

    Headphones for female vocals?

    HD600 and HD650 are pretty universally known as some of the best headphones for vocals.

    I made a balanced cable from the original Sundara cable, man soldering those balanced 2.5mm is no fun at all lol. Sounds very very good with btr5 and aptx hd, theres now ton of power to drive these.

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

    Got mine, Im running Hifiman Sundaras from this on H-gain single ended aptx-HD, sounds pretty good and gets way louder than I ever need to but I'm getting the balanced cable anyway.

    Bluetooth aptX conversion for headsets like Sennheiser HD 6XX

    Haha thats a LOT cleaner than whatever I have going on right now, ordered parts for custom cables though... Im using Avantree Oasis Plus BT transmitter, it just connects with optical cable to PC so works with any OS without any drivers and settings and it does aptx LL and HD(switch on the side...

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

    Got Oasis Plus, connected optical to my pc and wow what a difference it makes. Automatically connects to both my headphones depending on whats powered up without having to do anything on PC as it just blindly outputs through optical. Played some CSGO, putting the switch on LL mode it made the...

    Anybody know what kinda pinout/wiring does the 2.5mm balanced port use on this unit? Im making my own cable for this but there seems to be a bunch of different styles to wire it..

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

    I definitely get around 200-300ms latency on aptx with my fiio btr-3s, not a huge deal but lip sync is slightly off for me. I havent tried this device yet but manual says just put both devices to pairing mode and put them close together and it should pair.

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

    I tried that on linux but it doesnt support LL and tbh to me it didnt sound that good on any codec compared to windows but I didnt give it too much time. With that transmitter I linked you dont need to hassle with any drivers, just plug and play with linux or win.

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

    Yes, check out Avantree Oasis plus. Has digital and analog inputs and you can switch codecs and see whats being used. Also Sennheiser BT T100 should be able to do this.

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

    I realised I'w been using only base aptx codec with my computer the whole time, seems like my PC doesnt support other codecs, just ordered this BT transmitter that connects with optical and supports LL and HD codecs, posting here if someone else is having issues with their computer...

    The Hi-Fi + Hi-Res Audiophiles' Bluetooth Headphone Adapter Thread - [17.Oct.21] iFi GO Blu impression added

    Only 9h battery life, even with a bigger battery? Damn, I was hoping to upgrade from btr3 to 5 for more battery life as I get that 9h from btr3 already.

    Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)

    Yokes are made from all metal so you can slightly bend them if you want lighter grip on big head, thats what I did.

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    I chased that for years and years but I dont think it works like that, if you add more bass to 600s it takes away from mids that are the reason I love my 600s. Just accept that and use other headphones when you want deeper bass.

    Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)

    From what I understand they are fairly similar, Ananda might have slightly more sub bass, I think Arya is the real upgrade over Sundara from what Iw read so far.

    Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)

    Im pretty settled with sundara and hd600 as my daily drivers, 600s for more laid back vocal stuff and sundaras kill it with all electronic music.
