@ST33L, on the photo you posted, I notice the "OVR" at front display. Did you overhide automatic power out mode ? No clipping ?

started in 1989 with this kind of ADI FS2 ancestor https://audio-database.com/MARANTZ/amp/pm-95-e.html, actually one of the first non pro DAC/Amp, 6 times more expensive at time with less functionalities and easily beaten by the ADI FS2 nowdays :) Anyway, I could live with the ADI as my Thekk...

I agree, loudness is handy but with experience I changed the way I use ADI’s parameters. now I really prefer some sort of Harman’s curve stored in EQ and play with B/T for finals adjustments (How I feel, type of production) It’s true that ADI by itself could be an end game amp/DAC. Strange...

Glad to know it. What was the fix ?

definitely abnormal, sorry for u. I never had any strange vibrations even at high volume.

Thanks ! This video convince me to try again, and it finally works. The pairing button must be pressed at the same times on BTA1 & 2 for 3 seconds. Tried many times before but it has never work before, maybe a question of synchronicity. @FiiO : No computer, just TV > headphone Amp over BT...

It’s a different use case but it works. simply plug opt out PC -> BTA in DAC mode, then BTA -> rca Amp for example. My use case is BTA1 in TX mode -> BTA2 in RX mode The issue is about pairing them together. @FiiO : is it possible ?

Yes, the point is to link, over BT, two devices (ex TV -> amp)

Can someone at Fiio explain how to pair 2 BTA30 together to make a BT bridge plz ?

As long as you avoid clipping by raising volume over 100%, which is not possible with the BTA30, I don’t see much room for optimisation. No amp/wire/dac rolling, it’s a as use as is package. Appart from equalising the source to match your headphone/tastes.

In TX mode, the digital input signal is not converted to analogic, then reconverted to digital over BT. At least, as far as I know. The conversion to LDAC only implies a digital process. I previously owned the Deva and the Ananda-BT. What’s the point of wireless if u have to move to the BTA to...

You are right, in TX mode, LDAC is not supported with usb input due to some chipset limitation. I only use optical (capable of 24/96 whiis more than I need 😎) The fact is that, whatever the codec is, the 2 BTA don’t pair together. In RX mode, I’m not sure that you can bypass the DAC stage of...

Ok so your TV casts natively LDAC over BT, which is really nice and pretty rare. To overcome SBC limitations, I bought a 2nd BTA30, hoping to make a LDAC bridge. Unsuccessful as I didn’t find a way to pair the 2 BTA together. Help would be much appreciated, specially from FiiO please...

Interresting, but I’m not sure of what you intended to do. Is it something like : TV > Bluetooth over LDAC > PC > DAC > Amp ? How do you plan to use BTR5 and BTA30 ? Something like : TV > BTR5 > BTA30 > digital out or line out ?

In this use case, the BTA30 has to be in RX mode. It sounds ok for me, even if the DAC is not absolutely crazy, you have to deal with the codec of the TV … which is probably SBC. So don’t except an audiophile quality, but it’s convenient. I have tried to pair 2 BTA30 to get LDAC, one for TV...

Considering fundamentals functions, are there many others options for an LDAC transmitter under 1000 € ? Ok the BTA30 has room for improvements, but let’s be fair ...

Technicals arguments can be true separately ... and lead to a false conclusions when u consider the whole system (in good faith). Ex: wasapi is bit perfect, so the usb output of your PC must bring better signal than BT which is destructive. In reality, if you add interruptions, and all the...

i can not compare the ananda BT version with the wired one, since I only got the BT, but one thing I know for sure : the BT version strongly depends on the source and transport. Since a week, I am using a Linn DS as streamer connected to a BT30 as transmiter in ldac. I’m still surprised how the...

Maybe you should ask Fiio support. If this is some kind of bug, a return won’t help. Let us know please.

Maybe you could try to clear pairing in rx mode (as tx hangs up) by holding the 2 press button at the same times for 5s.

Got also strange behaviour in tx mode * solved by unplugging replugging usb cable. *like BT paired in tx without any sound in fw1.1

If you can connect with Fiio BT control’s app in rx mode, you can reset to default system’s settings. worth a try.

I've been looking for a bt ldac transmitter for a long time to expand my system. Connectioned to digital coaxial in fixed output 24/192 of an akurate ds, the BTA30 joins an Ananda BT (playing Qobuz) The result is excellent, superior to what I pulled from this USB-linked helmet from a pc...

I agree 1. broken may be not if BT is ok, but at least questionable about usb issues you mention (batch issue ?) more than marginal difference btw usb and BT should'n't be significant 2. i guess not, what good for is a 1K headphone in this case ? 3. i would like ! but just average...
