Thank You very much.

Not sure if this is your specific issue but as a good first step, make sure the "exclusive control" setting is unchecked in windows:

Thank you very much.

Three weeks ago I purchased a BTR5 and it’s been working fine until today when it became unresponsive.
It will no longer turn on. I tried to reset it by pressing the power button for 30 seconds. When I connect it to the charger it shows that it’s fully charged.
Is there anything else I could try before contacting the store?

Unfortunately there are quite a few reports of BTR5 responding like this.
I had one in my hands and couldn't do anything to make it work

Hi guys I just got the Fiio BTR 5 a few days ago, and I'm getting 5.5 to 6 hours battery life using single ended port not balanced. My volume is set to 55 during this test period and I'm using LDAC codec, 990 kbps. Is this normal? I was under the impression that using the single ended port I would get 7 hours worth of battery life easily.

Guess the battery has to settle down a bit.
But the claimed battery life belongs to aac and volume level 30 with a 27ohm load.
So LDAC has a hugh impact on battery life and your level 55 doesn't make it any better.

I'll make a run today for the battery life of my Btr5 with the FiiO FD1 (32ohm), Ldac and Vlevel 30.
Usually, my listening level out of the se with said Fiio is <30.
Very curios how it ends.

That’s too bad. I really liked it when it was working.

Is it still under warranty?
Then return it for a replacement because I agree with you , it is really good sounding.

Hey Chris thanks for your response I really appreciate it. Oh I didn't know the claimed battery life of 9 hours was for aac and volume level 30 with 27 ohm load. I like to listen to my music loud, and my btr5 is under 16 ohm load as I'm using final e3000 headphones. Would be really curious to see how long your battery lasts with ldac and 30 volume

It’s only a couple of weeks old. Hopefully I can get a replacement quickly.

Back after proceeding.

BTR5, LDAC, H-gain, Vlevel 30, FiiO FD1 (32ohm), distance to the V30 20cm mostly ( short times more than 3m w/ wall )

After playing these albums

Amarathe - Manifest, Maximalism, The Nexus
Ancient Bards - Soulless Child, A new dawn ending, Origine
Unleash the Archers - Time stands still, Apex, Abyss

from local storage, the BTR5 has died finally.

Play time was 8 hours 5 min.

The first battery alert came up after 7 hours 43 min


Maybe the battery on your BTR5 has to settle down after a few charges to come close.

Wow that's incredible battery life but then again you're listening at 30 while I'm listening at 55 volume. So maybe that's why I'm getting less battery life? Anyway as I just recently got it I'll follow your advice and test it out for a couple of weeks, and update you here. Cheers again for going through the hassle and sharing your results here mate

My pleasure.
As always while listening to music. ^^

Yeah, lower resistance, like your 16ohm, means more current, which drains the battery even faster.
The higher volume does the rest, i guess.

Is the Final E3k that demanding, eg. low sensitive, that this high volume level is necessary???
Can't stand that volume for more than a few sec on the FD1.

Please be aware of your hearing, you only get it once.

Hey thanks for the warning man, yes the Final E3K is that demanding, after setting the volume to 55 I still have to use 70 to 80% volume on my Oneplus 8 Pro using UAPP player. Whereas using my Moondrop SSR I can't go above 30 to 40% volume! E3K scales even further when using a dedicated desktop DAC & AMP. Even BTR5 isn't enough to bring out its full potential!

Is the BTR5 still for sale. It’s not available on Amazon UK or your Aliexpress shop?
