Any cable that does USB2.0 or more should be fine

I'm using the Amazon basics USB c to USB c cable which comes in a 15cm (6in) version https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics...azon+basics+usb+c+to+&sr=8-1-fkmr2&th=1&psc=1

I also use the same cable and it works perfectly fine.

Man I've been playing with this thing the last 2 days and I'm super impressed. Easy to use and sounds fantastic, especially used as a usb dac/amp. It kind of reminds me of the xdsd but smaller.

Also I'm able to go about 40 feet away and still have a good signal which is very good compared to most of my other bt receivers. The sound is nice and energetic and open with lots of detail. Sounds way above it's price point in quality- I'm using balanced out.

Psikey you were right again mate glad I tried it, this is a keeper.

My btr5 is stuck in SBC format. I am using LG G7 thinQ so LDAC format must be used. But no even though I had switched on LDAC format fron its settings, its always SBC.

Anybody lived and solved this before?

Do you have enabled "best quality" in bluetooth settings of the G7?
This has to be done before you get aptx hd and Ldac.

Do you have the tab by the device set to LDAC? Just hold bluetooth and the devices screen comes up- hit the widget and then hit the LDAC switch.

I have xdsd and btr5. Wired, xdsd wins pretty handily, IMO. At the same time. In Bluetooth mode, the detail given by LDAC vs APTX is noticeable with how good BTR5 is, so I absot put BTR5 over xdsd for Bluetooth mode. I like XDSD warmth, but lack of overall resolution in BT mode makes it a negative in comparison.

Have you enabled LDAC in Developer Options?

I’m really enjoying my BTR5 but after being on pause for a while i find the fade in a little annoying as it often cuts out the first few notes and I have to start the song over again. Is there a way to defeat this?

I had xdsd It sounded good but a bit too warm for me, I like the signature of the fiio better. I also think the dac mode of the fiio is better- bigger stage imo. This is using the balanced out. Fiio did good with this little thing. I've got a 1200 dap sitting here that I probably won't use because of the btr5.

Just a heads up for UK residents considering buying one of these, my order was cancelled today as due to the coronavirus in China they are having trouble getting stock. Nowhere else seems to have in stock either.
While I'm here I shall also ask that as it may be a while for these to be available can anyone recommend a good phone dac as a replacement?
Many thanks.
