Dear friend,

We have reported this problem to MQA and located the issue. If everything goes well, the new XMOS firmware for BTR5 2021 will be released this month. And you could still use the UAPP app in Android mobile phone for help or play MQA in PC/iOS version Tidal app.

Best regards

@FiiO Any update about the progress of new firmware for BTR5 2021?

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?

I use it with my Samsung TV's all the time and it works great! I have not experienced any lag but then again you are sitting reasonably close to the TV that distance shouldn't be a factor.

That's great, thanks for the info.

Any news @FiiO

The firmware is still having some other problem so it still take some time for the engineer to provide a newer and more stable version.

Will the new firmware be for the original version of BTR5 or only the newest one?

 

[superpowter77]

Despite being able to use LDAC with my Sony TWS earbuds on my Samsung Galaxy S21+ and Galaxy A52 G5 phones, BTR5 2021 only connects to my phones either with SBC or Aptx(default), never using LDAC. Is this suppose to be normal for a BTR5 2021 device?

Only for BTR5 2021. The BTR5 does not support MQA.

Do you have another mobile phone which support LDAC to try? And please check via the FiiO Control app. Did you turn off the LDAC Bluetooth codec for the BTR5 2021 in the APP?

I did try with my old LG G5 and G7 phones which I keep only as dedicated Aptx-HD music players and they both didn't work with LDAC either. I was missing an extra step.
The changes have to be made not only in the developer options but in the Bluetooth menu for each phone too:
In the Bluetooth menu I clicked the options of the connected headphone then clicked connectivity and then best sound quality. Now I can use LDAC on all my tested devices: S21+, A52 G5, LG G7 and LG G5.
Note: LG G5 and G7 require rebooting phones right after selecting LDAC under developer options, otherwise Fiio Control App will select SBC by default and not LDAC. After rebooting, LDAC is automatically selected by Fiio Control App.
Thanks.

Glad to hear about that.
Thanks for the kind feedback. We will share your experience to other user when they meet same problem with LG mobile phone.

The Fiio BTR5 2021 with my Fiio FH3 is so so good

 

[superpowter77]

The Fiio BTR5 2021 with my Fiio FH3 is so so good

Indeed. I do have also FH3 besides FH7. Do you use LDAC or Aptx on your FH3 to be able to use EQ settings?
I wish Fiio Control App could allow user to load custom presets from crinacle's IEM FR measurement database

Not the most elegant solution but seems like Wavelet app is handling AutoEQ custom presets for my FiiO IEM's FH3 and FH7
Not sure if BTR5 2021 is still using LDAC while Wavelet is running or switched to SBC or Aptx???
