Does this have better sound quality than the btr5? I'm using the btr5 as a Dac but if this has better quality then I might get it.

The BTR5 has 2.5mm balanced and 3.5mm standard headphone output which the BTA30 does not have. So it is hard to compare the sound between only this two devices.
The BTA30 is more suitable for speakers or DAC instead when using cable connection.

Best regards

Can someone who has the BTA30 Pro connect APT-X headphones to it and let me know if there is a noticeable lag when watching movies?

The delay in Bluetooth connection is very small. And if your headphone supports AptX LL Bluetooth codec, the lag may not be noticeable.

Can you be more specific regarding the lag for Apt-x headphones? How many nanoseconds of delay can I expect?

Sorry we do not have this data from the engineer.

I'm considering purchasing this for my 2.1 setup. How does this that compare to something like a Modi or a Topping E30?

Topping E30 is better, especially if Bluetooth is irrelevant for you

With plain aptX about 160ms - not suitable for movies nor games !

Get aptX LL headphones, or one of the great BTR adapters FiiO has if your headphones support wired connection (BTR3 here

Thanks so much for the info. Unfortunately I have limited funds, so I have to make due with my earbuds for now. I bought these earbuds because aptx adaptive was supposedly cutting edge and the replacement for AptX-LL. But it turns out NO Bluetooth transceivers support aptx adaptive, so I'm stuck with earbuds with nothing to connect them to.

Look harder

Anything based on older CSR chip won't have Adaptive, you'll need something newer based on QC line

This combination has no problem, because 5V is a universal power supply

for power supply, is there a minimum and maximum amp requirement?

EDIT: on the website, i do see

USB power

DC5V 2A（recommended）

Cool, thanks! So I should be looking for BT transmitters with a "QC" chipset? Have you used that Tebe transmitter? I've never heard of the brand.

I found this chart on the Qualcomm website apparently the QCC 30xx chipset supports AptX Adaptive. Now to find a reputable brand transmitter with that chipset...

Didn't hear of them neither, but buying quite a lot on Ali and as long as it satisfies my needs and works for its' money don't really looking for big brands there.
Don't have, BTA30 here

I got bta30 pro recently, which transformed my tv set to a theater with amazing sound.
And this device pushed me to get Btr7, and forbids buying Dap that does not support aptx LL.

I have been using the bta30 for almost a couple years, but I can't understand how to select codecs in the Fiio app. I have the Shure Aonic 50 headphones that support ldac/aptx/aptx-ll and sometimes I want to use them in aptx-ll but despite I uncheck all the codecs except aptx-ll in the Fiio app they will connect to bta30 using ldac (white light).
Does anyone know how to make the codec selection work?
