Hopefully the next version will support aptx Adaptive.

Any news on the previously mentioned firmware update?
Unfortunately, Qualcomm's new chips are not yet perfect for TX mode code support, , so aptX Adaptive can not be supported in TX mode for the time being, LDAC is also not supported in the new QCC51xx series chips when work in TX mode.

Currently only CSR8675 can be supported, which is a very unfortunate thing~

You can wait for a new chips or, meanwhile, engineer two BT chips in one device, even use small additional PCB not to mess with current design. Still cost effective. Lots of examples in DIY.

This is a good suggestion :beerchug:

Hi, you misunderstand me. I mean optical input to optical output. So I can bypass the unit without having to replug everything. It's a feature I saw on a few much lower performing units on AE with this feature.

Hi, I'm interested in the BTA30. Does it have some kind of bypass mode when my setup is as following: TV -> optical_IN -> BTA30 -> optical_OUT -> Speaker Amp. The intention is to switch easily between BT headphone and my speaker setup.
Hello everyone, what kind of bypass feature do you want the most, there are 3 options
1.Optical in-----Optical out
2.Optical in-----Optical out & Coaxial out
3.Optical in-----Optical out & Bluetooth TX
Which one do you want the most, welcome to give me your answer~~

I just bought the BTA30 recently and while I can connect to it via bluetooth and get it going, the darn unit does not show up in the Fiio Control App no matter what I do. Should I do a firmware update ? I am currently using Rx mode & sending either coax to a RME DAC or RCA to a Zen CAN amp. Works flawlessly but I want to change some settings on the unit and the Control App is not seeing the unit. Only my BTR5 shows up as disconnected obviously and it searches for about a minute and says no compatible device found or something like that. I'll share some screenshots this evening

Hello, you mean you have connect to your phone by bluetooth, but can't show up in the FiiO Control APP?
Please open the phone location and kill the FiiO Control APP, and then reopen it again, it should solve the problem.

I will force close the app. If it still doesn't show up I'll reinstall the app and try again. I will update later this evening after I try various things

Try disconnecting every input and output and connecting the unit with a regular phone power supply, delete pairing and try again

The app seems a little flaky. Some days it just wont connect, telling me BT needs to be turned on and connected, even though my iPhones BT connection screen says it can see the device, but the app just wont see it. Not sure why though.

All 3! :) ... But option 1 would be a start. Then I could have 2 BTA30s and daisy chain them to get around the problem with having 2 LDAC headphones connected at the same time.

The app only connects in Rx mode. Let us know if that’s your issue.
Ah yes, forgot about that when I originally tested, I read that in the manual. As a tip though, would be good if the connection / suggestion page that pops up in the app when you try to connect and it can't find it (because it's in TX mode) told you about that... just to remind you :)
