I can’t seem to get MQA working on the iOS version of Tidal (both on iPad and iPhone). The BTR5 just keeps displaying the sample rate but not MQA. also, the Tidal app will freeze when connecting the BTR5. I am using Fiio LT-LT1, which should work?
anyone else having these issues on iOS? I only read about it on the Android app.

I believe you have to increase the volume to the max on iPhone and then control from the BTR5 for MQA to work.

I have tried to use the BT52021 with a USB type-c to type-c cable to connect to my iPad Pro 2021 (which is using USB-C connector) and there is no problem to decode MQA when using Tidal app. It can show MQA in the display of the BTR.

Well, it just doesn't seem to work. I can't get the BTR5 2021 to decode MQA. I tried my iPhone, iPad and my Mac all running tidal. On mac I set the BTR5 as output device, exclusive mode and passtrough MQA but it just keeps displaying sample rates (48khz or 88.2kz).

Is there anybody who has another idea (tried the above suggestions)?

Did you plug in a headphone or earphone?

omg. This fixed it. I get MQA from both iPhone and Mac now. In Mac Tidal app I had to uncheck 'disable software decoding of MQA' for the BTR5 to display MQA though.

Thank you @patkwok

@FiiO is firmware v2.1 the most recent firmware? i am using v2.0 on my original BTR5 and wondering if i should upgrade.

Dear friend,

The only difference for users in firmware 2.1 and 2.0 is the version number. So if the firmware version of your BTR5 is 2.0, you don't need to upgrade actually.

Best regards

Really, FiiO released a new version of FW that only changed… the FW version number?

Yes, but it sounds so much better on the new version...

This morning i woke up early and immediately a thought came to my mind: i t would be nice if the BTR5 allowed to receive via bluetooth and trasmit via USB.

This would allow it to be connected to a normal desktop DAC/AMP without a bluetooth input module using a USB-C to USB-B cable. I immediately tried but unfortunately it doesn't work

So the connection would be this: BTR5 as bluetooth receiver > USB-C to USB-B cable > DAC/AMP > Headphone/Earphone/Speaker.

What do you say @FiiO , @FiiO Willson it can be done? perhaps with a firmware update that allows you to rout the signal from bluetooth to USB adding a USB Output Mode in control menu.

Dear friend,

Thanks for the feedback. But the BTR5 could not support this feature. Maybe we could try to make the product with this function one day in the feature if there are need in the market.

Best regards

Has anyone tried using this with TV over Bluetooth? I was thinking of using it this way when playing on PS5. Is there any latency?
