Thanks, for the reply & suggestion. It’s the cable from the original iPhone box (with fast charging adapter) so I doubt that it is due to MFi certificate thingy. I suspect (hope not) it’s an energy related issue or something...
@FiiO are you guys maybe able to advise? Thanks

Yes:


You would need the Apple Camera Connection Kit (CCK) for help as well.

Best regards

And did you turn off the charge option in the BTR5?

Best regards

Ztella will be offering MQA at around $70. It was a ridiculous $55 on startup. Maybe the MQA costs are put on the streaming service provider or subscribers instead.

Hi
Where did you found ZTELLA with 70$. Looking at their web site the price is 99$ .

I use eq on my Nintendo switch, Tidal, and whatever else I connect it to. Just doesn't work with LDAC, but APTX-HD and lower, EQ will be applied.

Maybe this is also the case with the Q5s and since I only use it wiht LDAC, that's why I can't hear a difference with EQ. I will try latter using Aptx with EQ.

Thanks.

Hello!
So, I've been reading the whole post, i bought a sabaj da3 not so long ago by amazon (used 60$ usd), and after reading this, I'm thinking to switch to the btr5.
Do you guys think is worth it?

Please send some units to Fiio India....Don't want to buy from Ali X.

Hello everybody!! I recently purchased the BTR5 and now I am looking for headphones. I dont have any experiece in Hi-Fi audio systems apart from reading forums and watching reviews on youtube. So its time for me to start listening!!! As a beginer my demands are limited. As far as I have read, the BTR5 is an excellent DAC to start with. I am planning to feed it with Spotify (LDAC connection from mobile) and FLACS from laptop (USB connection). I want to listen to music (mainly rock and jazz) and occasionally to watch movies "silently". I am almost settled to buy the Sennheiser HD660S but I have some questions:
1. Is the BTR5 capable to drive the 660s? Has anybody test this setup?
2. I am thinking to connect them in 2.5mm balanced output. Is there any meaning on this or the sound is the same with 3.5mm outpout?

Hello Grandos,

I have used the BTR5 with the 6XX/650 both 3.5 and 2.5 on High Gain. they work Better on the 2.5 on H Gain, as there is more power output. I also use it with KZ either 3.5 or 2.5 and works awesome and at much lower volume.

Thank you very much for your reply but I finally bought Audioquest Nighthawk Carbon. I was afraid of Sennheiser's impedance for the BTR5 and I think that HD series are for more advanced ears yet. On the other hand Nighthawks are more exotic and rare anymore whereas HD600 series are one of the oldest model in market.

Good combination. Regardless of what skeptics say, Nighthawk one of my favorite headphones. I don't like boosted treble, so I purchased hybrid pads before they were out of stock. For me the microsuede pads are a more than decent alternative, but don't have quite nearly the same punch as the hybrid pads. Enjoy.

Can someone try the Btr5 with the iBasso it01s? I am afraid that would make them sound very thin

@FiiO When connected via USB-C to a computer, and using it as a USB-C DAC, I'm having an issue where it eventually cuts out as the battery is discharging quicker than it can charge. Is this normal? I'd have thought when connected via USB-C it would be powered by USB-C (whilst also charging the battery)?

Is your charge setting set to ‘ON’?

 

[eeans]

Yes it's set to 'ON'. Though does it not need to be on in order to charge?

 

[ccrys]

How is the line output for ampliffer? The oldest models like btr3 suffers for lack of dynamic and power.

The more I listen to my SE846 balanced with BTR5 fed from my S10+ over LDAC BT I keep thinking a sub £80 BT device should'nt be possible to sound this good!

I've listed my Sony A105 for sale and hardly even using my Dragonfly Cobalt at the moment as I'm enjoying the sound quality/sig so much out of the BTR5, plus its convenience.

Not even tried it as a wired DAC yet, just for BT.
