Dear friend,
Dear friend,
Thank you so much. Could a latency-reduction feature be coming in a future firmware update? And do any other Fiio DACs have such a feature?
The best way to reduce latency is to use a wired connection, not wireless. Latency doesn’t matter quite so much when only listening to music, but yes it can be a real problem when watching video or playing games.
Hi man,Thanks for your input buddy, appreciate itI agree the 4.4mm and feature upgrades in general were what drove me to pull the trigger without any real reviews available online. My brother has the he400se too so I'll be able to do an apples to apples comparison. Will try to give a quick update if anyone cares for it
And thanks sir. Yes, I know there’s no latency issues in wired connections. It’s kind of sad that such a new device did not come with workarounds to the latency issue.
If you intentionally disconnect the Bluetooth from one or the devices, does that help the problem? I have seen similar issues with other (non-FiiO) Bluetooth receiving devices when connected to both at the same time. Perhaps ask the source device you are not using at the time to disconnect, and see if things are smoother. No need to delete the pairing - just try to only have one actively connected at a given time.
Well technically it does - the aptX Low Latency CODEC. Unfortunately, not every source supports this CODEC too - especially iOS.And thanks sir. Yes, I know there’s no latency issues in wired connections. It’s kind of sad that such a new device did not come with workarounds to the latency issue.
it doesn't, and they didn't even bother to get a new font matching the DPIs so it looks highly pixelated
Hey bro, I tried the btr15 with the he400se, you will need a balanced cable to run it at max potential as the 3.5mm doesn't do enough and my unit may have issue where it gets only slightly louder than my old btr5 at high gain on balanced and if this is just how it is then you possibly need to bump it at possibly even the highest volume on both your source and BTR15 but I know the he400se can get much louder without any issues with a dedicated amp desk/portable amp so I don't know if it's just my unit that doesn't output the advertised 340mv or if it's just that my expectations were too high going from 240mv to 340mv at 32ohms. I would wait to get more clarity about this situation. I have contacted hifigo and fiio for support to understand what's up and if it's just my device that's underperforming but I do think that it's still loud enough to enjoy your music if you are okay with the headphones only reaching about 70-80% of their actual ability. For me it's a bit on the low side as if I have to run high gain max volume on both the btr15 and my phone I'm assuming it's going to kill the battery of the btr15 much quicker making it less than ideal. I'll update you once I hear from fiio or hifigo. Also quick update for anyone that cares. The btr15 and btr5 don't have a major audible difference is quality of sound they seam to have a similar sound on stock settings and I don't think that's a bad thing. Sorry long for the rant
Tbh it looks like what is shown in the pictures, I didn't expect more than that so to me it was just fine the btr devices are just to output your audio don't think you'd be using it to control your music constantly as it's not your source itself. I hardly use the music controls on the device myself so to me I guess the display does what I need it to ( browsing the settings and changing them easier than the old BTR5) so if you manage your expectations you'll be fine.
