Are there any plans to offer an iOs app or a way to upgrade firmware from a Mac? Or from the app?Dear friend,
Do you mean the firmware? You would need a Windows computer for help.
Best regards
To be honest I think that those are very different kind of audio devices, the Topping is wired only and the Fiio has bluetooth. I haven't heard the Fiio, but I do own the Q5s and the Topping has a more powerful amplifier. I bought an AM5 amp module, but that was 127 USD on top of the 349 for the Q5s itself. The Topping was 149 USD or less, can't remember. If you need bluetooth get the Fiio, if not, the Topping.Hi,
I'm planing to upgrade my Xonar U7 1st gen with Topping NX4 or Fiio BTR5.
I will use it with Meze Classics 99 headphones. Will be a true improvement in sound quality?
How about ocasionally gaming and movie. Those two will suitable?
Anybody know what kinda pinout/wiring does the 2.5mm balanced port use on this unit? Im making my own cable for this but there seems to be a bunch of different styles to wire it..
I have both. Xdsd wins for overall musicality, period. BTR5 portability and slightly brighter treble is different, and the eq ability allows you to play a little more. BTR5 is my on the go pocket movie m music DAC. Xdsd forpre detailed listening, IMO.Anyone knows if moving from xdsd to BTR5 will be downgrade or improvement
Stay updated on FiiO at their sponsor profile on Head-Fi.

Biggest design mistake on the BTR5 was not including a lanyard loop on the BTR5 itself. I have to keep mine in the plastic clip holder to use the Lanyard around neck. Added weight & bulk.
Hope someone bring as slim case with a lanyard loop.
Going top try one of this is sticker part not too wide

A Blue Peter badge is on it's way to you!Update to my lanyard idea.
I got one for ~£5 and fitted. Can now leave off the plastic clip case and looks same styling with the BTR5 (hoop is metal, not plastic and hoop rotates).
Total weight with the loop now 63g which is still fine around neck. Doesn't interfere with BT strength and can even use it as a little stand if you like.

This has given me some ideas. I'm gonna try and get a clip that sticks on the back instead of having the plastic case. Going to explore some options.
I originally tried to stick on a Sony clip I had but not safe/secure. This is rock solid so if you get some of the 3M pads and a longer clip it should be OK.
Post your solution if you find one.
