Yes! That would be a game changer. I will definitely buy the BTA30 Pro if it supports aptx-Adaptive.Noticed the iOS app was updated to accomodate the BTA30 Pro. Please let us know if the BTA30 Pro will directly support the aptx-Adaptive codec (not using aptx or aptx-HD).

No it doesn't. But APTX-LL Bluetooth codec is supported in BTA30Pro.Noticed the iOS app was updated to accomodate the BTA30 Pro. Please let us know if the BTA30 Pro will directly support the aptx-Adaptive codec (not using aptx or aptx-HD).

Really? I was under the impression that aptx-ll was being replaced by aptx-adaptive... Shouldn't you future-proof the new version of the BTA30?No it doesn't. But APTX-LL Bluetooth codec is supported in BTA30Pro.

Well, it is listed - confirmed by your screenshot - it is simply "sold out". I've found Amazon has sellers put a limit count on "inventory" based on what is on hand in Amazon warehouses. But, deliveries continue and there can be gaps of hours or days between "restocking", in this case it may be regional, as I am seeing them in stock here in the mid-west USA right now, minutes between our posts:

When a product is constantly going in and out of stock, like when a new product is released, I keep a few tabs open to various sales outlets and refresh the pages to watch, or there are more automated ways to accomplish the same

Why Would We Develop BTA30 Pro?--From @FiiO Willson
In early December 2020, shortly after the BTA30 was released, there was already a crisis in chip supply. Considering the material preparation and sales situations at that time, it was expected that the BTA30 could only be sold until June 2021.
After a primary discussion, we roughly held on to two solutions.
Solution 1:
Same features, changed DAC: the advantage of this solution was that it required fewer R&D resources and can be brought to market quickly.
Solution 2:
It was to improve some functions of the previous BTA30 and make a more perfect product. However, it needed to change many parts and we could not expect the time to market. It would probably be out of stock for at least 2 months.
Later, after several rounds of evaluation and discussion, we decided to take the second solution.
Although it would be out of stock for a couple of months, it has supplemented the obvious shortcomings of the product, making for more complete functions and better using experience.
Compared with the BTA30, the BTA30 Pro comes with new functions as follows.
1. Added the USB processing chip XMOS, which supports USB lossless decoding (PCM is supported from the previous 48k/16bit to now 384k/24bit).
2. As USB decoding capability becomes stronger, the LDAC Bluetooth transmission is also supported under USB input.
3. Upgraded DSP chip, DSD support has been upgraded from DSD64 to DSD256.
4. Added one-button switching to aptX Low Latency, achieving a lower latency game experience.
In addition, we have also paid attention to the problems that many BTA30 users have encountered, and made improvements, such as:
1. Some users complained that it was inconvenient to switch inputs in transmission mode. So we added a new one-button switching between input sources function, and corresponding indicator lights.
2. Some users said that it was too complicated when pairing with 2 Bluetooth headphones. So we separated the pairing by two paring buttons. One button is for one pair of headphones which features corresponding indicator lights.
3. Some users want the Bypass mode, so that they can connect the device to a TV through optical input and then output signals through Bluetooth headphones. After discussion, we decided to take this function in.
This Bypass mode allows you to watch any program anytime with your headphones yet with no interruptions to others. It is very convenient.
The current BTA30 Pro has the most complete functions and supports the most Bluetooth formats. It can be said that it has become a true "Bluetooth monster". We also believe that it will have better performance than the BTA30 on the market.

Hi all, I have bought a BTA30 and installed what seems to be the latest firmware, where sound dropping is said to be fixed. But on my unit, whenever I unpause audio after some short time, the sounds starts with a delay and volume increases. I use my unit in DAC mode with my active speakers. What do I do wrong, and can this be fixed? Thanks!
We did not reproduce the problem or receive similar feedback from other user. You may try another usb port and cable to see whether it helps? Does other music software help?Hi all, I have bought a BTA30 and installed what seems to be the latest firmware, where sound dropping is said to be fixed.

Hi All, I want to use the BTA30 with my PS5, but the PS5 (and the PS4 as well I believe) will not allow full scale output for USB dacs and forces it to something like 50%, so it ends up being super quiet even when using maximum volume on whatever BT headphone I am using. I also have a Qudelix 5K which has an option to disregard USB host volume which allows the full range of output from the PS5. Is there any such option on the BTA30?
Sorry the BTA30 does not have this option you mentioned. Does the PS5 support other output like optical or coaxial instead? You may check whether those connection work fine instead?Hi All, I want to use the BTA30 with my PS5, but the PS5 (and the PS4 as well I believe) will not allow full scale output for USB dacs and forces it to something like 50%, so it ends up being super quiet even when using maximum volume on whatever BT headphone I am using.

Updated to firmware Beta 1.2 that was released Nov-end, seems fine.
Not bothering with the BTA30 Pro. If the Pro had aptx-Adaptive I would.

I agree. That was the one feature I wanted added to the Pro that would have made me buy.Updated to firmware Beta 1.2 that was released Nov-end, seems fine.
