hmmm...I have the original BTR1 (well the version that has aac) and it's been essentially flawless for me. I love the thing. I'm very tempted by this new version simply based on the 50% increase in power output. That should be enough to drive my AKGs nicely...

...and apparently retailing at US $49.99?? Wow...that's cheaper than the BTR1 isn't it?

Unique Bluetooth audio codec indicator light

The BTR1K continues the BTR1's design with sleek aluminum alloy body with an added multi-function button for a quick operation of pair/play/pause. The blue and red lights on the original BTR1 also changed to the unique RGB indicator light so that you can instantly know the input Bluetooth audio codecs and working status.

SBC: Blue light flashing
AAC: Cyan light flashing
aptX/aptX low latency: Purple light flashing
USB DAC: White light flashing

The retail price for the BTR1K will remain the same as the original BTR1, so that's $49.99 in the USA and will be slightly different in other countries and regions.

@FiiO

Having had the original version (no AAC support) this looks interesting.

Do you have any tech specs available?

I understand that the BTR3 was recommended for earphones / headphones with 16 ohms and up (can't remember what to), is this similar? My main / favorite iems are Shure SE846 which are 9 ohms.

Is the DAC 24/192 capable, what codecs etc?

It can be understood that the output power of BTR1K and BTR3 is the same,
and the difference is only the support of Bluetooth format.
If you only use iPhone, BTR3 is wasteful for you, because it can't use other formats like LDAC.
And BTR1K is just right for you, BTR1K also with a RGB indicator light. indicating AAC code when the indicator color is cyan.
BTR1K supports USB DAC function, similar to BTR3, supports to 48kHz/16bit, and supports mobile phones with OTG function.

Looking at the specs, the BTR1K and the BTR3 use the same DAC/AMP. So they are going to sound identical when using the same codec, right?

Is the BTR1k Available anywhere in Canada yet?

Dear friend,

The Bluetooth chip of the BTR1K and the BTR3 is different. Due to individual preferences, you could read some professional reviews and comparisons, as well as try both out first.

Best regards

Hi!
Does BTR1K support MQA when connected as USB DAC? That would be awesome. Tidal in AAC (iPhone) on-the-go and MQA while connected to my MBP.
