Anyone know where to get a Version 2 in the US?

On Amazon US, they said they are still selling Version 1. Though I'm not sure if I trust them, there is one reviewer from May 20th that says it had AAC. Anyone buy from them recently?

It's June already, any update on the BTR3 release date yet?

I spot this: the μBTR (which I don't remember seeing on the website before).

Nice!

"Independent volume control" - is this really a feature that people want? IMO it's much more convenient, if the volume on the BT receiver is fixed and the volume buttons adjust the volume via Bluetooth. Yes, some devices out there have very large volume steps, so you could end up with the lower selection too low and the next higher level is too high for you. But okay...

No aptX HD or LDAC or whatever, but for the price of $32.99 per unit, this really could be a nice accessory.

There are no specs on the site yet, but does it say something about the headphone jack output impedance somewhere?

If FiiO can produce a nice little BT DAC/Amp like the uBTR and sell it at that cost, I'm really hopeful about the higher end of devices, which will be released at some stage, surely.

No surprise it's more expensive than the $15 quoted earlier (that would've been insane). Volume Control + built in microphone is actually pretty nice.

Would also like to know output impedance as well as output power @ 16+32 Ohms and SNR. Might have to pick some up for family.

Hmm, I’ve not experienced anything like the connection issues you mention. I’m able to walk around my apartment without losing connection at all.

Good review in general. Frankly, I think it’s pretty unbelievable what you can get for $50 nowadays.

I sold my BTR1 as it did not have AAC support and needed funds for another purchase, but I could leave my phone and walk about 20 meters way without loss of signal, this only occurred when I turned a corner to go into the toilet!!!

I miss my BTR1, but am waiting on the release details / price of the BTR3 before deciding what to do.

Version 2 has AAC support. Though I'm still trying to find out who sells them in the US. Amazon EU sells them apparently

Specs are on the FiiO website (http://www.fiio.net/en/products/94/parameters), and the TPA6132A2 datasheet (http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tpa6132a2.pdf). Output impedance @ 32Ω ＜0.3 Ω, output power @ 32Ω/1 KHz/1% THD = 22 mW (TI datasheet), SNR ≥95dB (A-weighted).

What is the difference between btr1 & ubtr?

EDIT: Nevermind!

Okay, now I DO have a question: when using the BTR1 at lower volume, there is a very clear and present distortion / hissing sound. Music and speech turn into artifacts. This is gone when you turn up the volume, but for example quietly listening to podcasts seems impossible. Other BT devices work flawlessly. Checked with multiple headphones.

Is this normal?

 

[Sgt. Ear Ache]

How low is “low volume?” I’m listening to a podcast now and I have no issues with distortion or anything right down to volumes so low that I can’t really hear anything at all...

Actually, if I turn the volume down to one all I hear is dead silence.

This is on my iPhone 7 btw.
