After the global chip shortage, the BTA30 released last October has faced an upgrade. Besides, many audiophiles have more needs for audio setups, such as higher sampling rate under USB DAC and Bluetooth support for LDAC. This time, the upgraded BTA30 Pro will be in place.
In terms of hardware improvements, the USB uses the third-gen XMOS chip with better compatibility and stronger decoding capacity. Responsible for digital-to-analog conversion is the excellent ES9038Q2M DAC, supporting up to 32bit/768k and DSD256 decoding. The independent high-performance DSP takes charge of both the input/output and sampling rate enhancement, greatly improving audio accuracy as well as efficiency. In addition, the Qualcomm CSR8675 chip allows LDAC transmission via Bluetooth.
The newly upgraded #High Fidelity Bluetooth Transceiver BTA30 Pro# has made big improvements in functions and features. It supports 4 functions, including Bluetooth transmitting, Bluetooth receiving, Digital decoding (DAC), Bluetooth+USB digital transport. You can conveniently connect it to computers, speakers, etc.
Do we have the official price for the M17?
In terms of user experience, the BTA30 Pro can be simultaneously connected to 2 Bluetooth devices no matter under Bluetooth transmitting or Bluetooth receiving modes. When in Bluetooth Transmitting mode, the newly added Bypass mode allows for optical input to optical/Bluetooth output at the same time. In addition, there are new functions like one-button switching between input sources and one-button switching to conveniently choose between 6 formats.
In the end, let's take a look at the appearance and parameter differences between the BTA30 and BTA30 Pro.
With stronger performances and an optimized listening experience, the #High Fidelity Bluetooth Transceiver BTA30 Pro# only sells 119.99 USD (US market). For more introductions and information, please follow us to check.
Since 2021, we have had four launch events held where several adorable products were released. The second half of the year also means a lot to FiiO. Among the product line of music players, users have more expectations for us after the M11/M11Pro/M15. Today, we are going to introduce a brand new music player for you- the #FiiO Portable Desktop-Class Player M17#.
How could a device be called a portable desktop-class device? The M17 uses two top-tier ES9038PRO DAC chips. This means that each audio channel has 8 parallel outputs summed together for superior resolution and minimal distortion for extremely pure audio reproduction. The THX 788+ amplifier exclusively designed for desktop devices can easily drive most headphones on the market. It contains two power supplies – a battery power supply and a power supply powered by external DC power. In addition, there is desktop-level connectivity, desktop-tier heat dissipation, etc.
The M17 contains overall 5 gains being high, medium, low, and enhanced over-ear headphone mode, each of which supports 120 levels of volume adjustment. The accurate volume adjustment allows you to adjust the volume to a more appropriate level whenever driving high-impedance headphones or high-sensitivity earbuds. When under DC mode, the enhanced over-ear headphone mode gain will be unlocked. At this time, the maximum output power goes up to 3W under 32Ω.
Other than the desktop-class DAC, the M17 has outstanding configurations in other parts: the 470mF DMF supercapacitor equivalent to 10,000 47uF tantalum capacitors applied provides a solid foundation for a large power supply; the Ti LT3045 LDO provides clean power to the DAC chip.
The M17 also stands out in anti-interference. Within the M17 are 17 PCBs with immersion gold finish, with the analog and digital sections physically separated by being on two different boards to reduce interference between the two portions. The inner structure went through 6 major design iterations with 12 rounds of internal structural design optimization, so that it can stuff so many different setups and connectors with each connector standing perfectly in one line.
The M17 takes an all-new design language, FiiO's 7th-gen mech design, evoking a sense of technological wonder. 12 RGB indicator lights lie in the volume knob, left and right sides with extensive customization options, such as colors and brightness. A larger screen allows you to more easily enjoy stunning visuals. Let your eyes feast upon an upgraded 5.99-inch, FHD+ 18:9 high-definition incell display. Besides, you can quickly and easily go through 120 levels of volume through either the analog potentiometer volume knob or physical buttons.
