Can us switch USB modes via PC somehow? do those modes in the Fiio android app even affect the USB DAC? or is it for something else?

BTR3 is limited to 16/48 via USB. There is no changing this

The Fiio Music app is where you toggle the codecs on/off. Settings > Bluetooth Device Control. Select your BTR3. "Select Bluetooth Codec."

Issue with that I noticed is that it disables thsoe codecs on the BTR3 itself, not the local device the thing is connecting to. I disable Aptx in the app, and use LDAC, the then the BTR3 connects only with SBC on my PC. etc

My guess is for connections to other DSD capable DAC's within Fiio Music, but not the BTR3.

Your PC is capable of connecting with LDAC? I needed to add this function to pulseaudio in linux.

yes... easy to install as well.
really wish there is a way to get LDAC to work in windows...as Win just does media playback in general better on my hardware....

Fiio, this is mid Oct. When will the BTR5 be available?

First batch has just been shipped, second batch which also includes worldwide, will ship mid November, hopefully.

Well, my BTR3 just started intermittently powering off all the time the last 2 days, even when laying undisturbed on a table while playing music... Trying to turn it back on works barely on long enough to do the power-on beep a few times, before it suddenly starts working again. But now it's completely dead, won't even take charge when plugged into the usb connector
So I guess mine had about ~10 months lifetime averaging 5 hours a day.

Dear friend,

Sorry to hear about that. Please try to reset the BTR3 by holding the power button for at least 10s or holding the volume +&- for 5s to see if it helps first?
If not, please contact your seller about that first.

If the seller fails to help, please contact us again with the receipt attached.

Best regards

Dear friend，

You are right. But the first batch for oversea is not available still. So we still have to wait some time more.

Best regards

I am one click away from buying the BTR3, so is there anything major that i need to know that will make me lift that finger instead of pressing "buy now"?

EQ still doesn't work with LDAC (unless I've totally missed a firmware update)

Also the creators of the ES100 will release a new version soon under a new name

Also Fiio will release a BTR5 worldwide even sooner.

1. i am a non believer of EQ, i believe IEM "as is"
2. in my area here, even ES100 dont exist, let alone the next gen
3. BTR5 has a long way to go since nobody has it yet, and can prove it's special sauce is indeed as stated, who knows, maybe BTR5 had major issue setbacks..

I heard a prerelease BTR5 this summer at CanJam London. Granted, things change between prerelease and release. But for me the improvement over BTR3 was compelling.
