Hi, just bought BTA30 and i'm having this problem
I pair my headphones with Aptx adaptive, the light indicator color turns violet after a second it turns into blue

whats happening? because i'm sure that the earphone im using which is Soundpeats Sonic is compatible to plain Aptx

also the volume is not adjustable on windows and the volume knob in BTA30 via usb in > TX mode
Dear friend,

1. The BTA30 does not support APTX adaptive Bluetooth codec. You could try to switch the Bluetooth codec by double click the pair button to check again. And make sure that both device are not connecting to other devices at the same time.

2. Under the mode of USB in and Bluetooth out, the volume knob cannot work, and the LDAC codec is not supported. Because under this mode, the audio signal is not transmitted through the CT5302 chip which controls the volume. While the Bluetooth chip itself does not have the function of volume adjustment, so the volume knob on the device will be invalid at this time.

Best regards

I bought the BTA30 to be able to use the LDAC codec with my PC and WH-1000XM4 headphones and what an incredible little box it is. It does lots of other things that I may find a use for but it is almost unique in offering LDAC at an affordable price so well worth every penny as the sound quality is simply amazing!

The range of codecs is outstanding, as are the facilities offered, the range is great, it's very easy to use, and I love having the volume control right there. The only negatives I can think of are that you have to supply your own 'charger' (as they call it, although it doesn't have batteries) and that I have to switch it to receive in order to use the app, but that's perfectly understandable. It would be nice if it had an analogue input but that's not a deal-breaker and it keeps the cost down.

The BTA30 is literally one of my favourite purchases and I just wanted to leave a message to publicly thank FiiO for it. In my opinion this is a must-buy with the WH-1000XM4s as the two work together perfectly. I may even buy another to use the cans with the TV.

Highly recommended, it's just a shame that so few people know about it.

Thank you for your support, if you want to use BTA30 for TX, through the computer's coaxial or optical input, may have better sound

Can anyone with TWS AptX Adaptive earbuds confirm which Bluetooth codecs (AptX, AptX-HD) they are able to use to connect to the BTA30 and what sampling rates/latency are achievable? I'm hoping to wait until the successor to the BTA comes out before I purchase, but if I'm happy with the Bluetooth connection capabilities with the current version I may go for it.

BTW, any ETA for the successor to the BTA30?

This device doesn't support Aptx Adaptive. Aptx adaptive bitrate don't reach the bitrate of Aptx HD so its only standard Aptx.

For me, the BTA30 connects to my Falcon Pros and B&W Pi7s with standard aptx, though I find the TV latency to between aptx HD and aptx LL, but there is still some lag. I still use my Shure BT2 aptx LL (with 847s) for zero lag.

Fingers crossed for the successor (and the previously mentioned forthcoming patch for the BTA30, though it cannot support aptx Adaptive).

I realize the BTA30 doesn't support AptX adaptive. Nothing does except for TWS earbuds, despite the codec being around since 2018. (Why is that???)

I didn't realize AptX Adaptive had a lower bitrate than AptX HD. I read that AptX Adaptive was backwards compatible with AptX and AptX HD, so I assumed they had similar bitrates.

I'm really hoping the BTA30 successor supports AptX Adaptive. If it does, I'm definitely going to order one.

I can't find a link to the BTA30 on the Fiio homepage nav menu. (Only find it when I Google BTA30) Does that mean the BTA40 is on its way? 🤞
Dear friend,

The BTA30 is under the Bluetooth series in our website: https://www.fiio.com/bluetooth_products
And if everything goes when, the next batch will be available next month. :grinning:

I've been viewing your website on mobile, and the BTA30 is not there. I just checked on my desktop computer, and it appears on the top of the page on some kind of slider. That slider does not appear on the mobile version of your website (or at least not on an iPhone using the Safari browser). So to mobile users, the BTA30 doesn't exist. You should get that fixed ASAP, as 70% of web traffic comes from mobile devices.

When you say the next batch should be available next month, do you mean the next batch of BTA30s, or it's successor? Will the next version of the BTA30 support Aptx Adaptive?

Dear friend,

Thanks for the reminding. I have asked my colleague to check and add the BTA30 in mobile phone version website. I mean the next batch of BTA30. Currently, I do not have the related information of its successor for you.
