RX mode:SBC, LDAC,AAC,aptX,aptX-HD(or aptX-LL)
TX mode:SBC, LDAC, aptX,aptX-LL

RX mode: I’m happy with what you have. If you can do BOTH aptX-HD and AptX-LL, that would be best - but I think AptX-LL is more important for TX mode, so would prefer AptX-HD on RX mode, if I had to choose. (More likely to use AptX-LL for TX to headphones for movies/gaming use.)

TX mode: If you can squeeze AptX-HD in as well, that would be great! But otherwise, I think you have a good mix: SBC & AptX for compatibility, LDAC for high quality, and AptX-LL for low latency.

So I would keep it as is (with AptX-HD instead of LL on RX mode) but add these if possible (in this order):
1. Dual-Link AptX-LL (TX) - see below!
2. AptX-HD (TX)
3. AptX-LL (RX)
4. AAC (TX)

That is my opinion. :)

Even better: if it can support dual-link TX (especially AptX-LL) for connecting two headphones for movie watching! That would make it perfect for me! :):)

The idea is great.
However, we have only completed the aptX-HD transmit when USB audio connect. It is not entirely certain whether the LDAC can be achieved. We will continue to try that.
If anything goes well, we will sell it in July, and the price is about $100, maybe lower

Hmm price point wise it would be ideal - time wise, July is a bit late but manageable - Lack of LDAC in TX mode would be very disappointing...

Can you suggest another FIIO product for now that can do PC >usb>BT TX LDAC?
I was looking into M5 some time ago but was only told that it "might" offer BT over USB with a future FW update - did that happened or will it soon?

Agree with your point of view.
In fact, we also want to add more Bluetooth format support in RX, TX mode. Just because of the limited program space, we have to make some choices.

In TX mode,it can support dual-link aptX-LL when the connecting two headphones support aptX-LL both.

M5 can not support Bluetooth TX over USB,but M6/7/9 support this function. You can try it. Thank you.

Yes, exactly, for non-BT TV can be sent to True Wireless IEMs.

Is the antenna mount SMA or TNC?
You can use BTA30's SPDIF input for Bluetooth transmit to your wireless IEMs, when connecting with TV.
BTW, the antenna interface is SMA for batter signal quality and long distance.
Thank you

You mean 3.5mm audio input and then Bluetooth transmitt it?

Yeah, analog input (3.5mm or RCA) would make it a pretty neat all-in-one hub for pretty much any audio.

As above, dunno how much trouble it would be to add - but would be a nice addition! :)

Depends on the TV. :)

Would be nice just to have the option, just for any analog sources, like a record player, etc. (More of a ”nice to have”, I guess)

I think I did know your idea :smile_phones:
We will consider the analog input for Bluetooth TX,That will bring more convenience to customers

Yes, 3.5mm analog input, BT TX,

Hurry Please! :relaxed:
Got it, we will evaluate, I will release the possibility of adding 3.5mm interface next week.
However, it is certain that the sound quality of the 3.5mm input will not be good as SPDIF.

I would be happy with that! SPDIF for quality, 3.5mm just as a fallback, so not expecting premium performance over 3.5mm - acceptable quality is fine, as it’s more for the convenience! :)
