Argh sorry ... my brain autocorrected whatever into LDAC... silly me :/

Thanks, LDAC works perfectly fine on mine too, I was having problems with LHDC (HWA). These are different competing codecs. LDAC is by Sony, LHDC is by Huawei. Both support playback at ~900kbps.

You can only use HWA with the Fiio Music app (except for Huawei phones which have HWA built-in). You can find HWA in the Fiio Music app settings.

Well, I can't use it at all with Galaxy S9. When I turn it on in Fiio Music app, BTR3 stutters, stops and goes into standby mode. But S9 does not really have to support LHDC so go figure...

I recently bought the BTR3 for use with my S9 but didn't end up keeping it long... i found the bluetooth was struggling more than i wanted it to (breakup).
The LDAC at least made for the best bluetooth audio experience i've had..... S9 doesn't support LHDC tho
Ended up switching to an ES100

If you not listen Hi-Res files you don't need this super high bitrate codecs, even SBC is enough, only drain more battery for antything.
What else SBC and AptX have identical sound quality, even mesaurements agree this, I also do not hear any differences, only better is lower latency in AptX.

I find SBC crunchy in quiet sections of music.... listening to classical gets unpleasant in SBC codec i personally find.
AAC is better, similar to AptX probably fine for 95% of use cases... AptXHD / LDAC etc do pretty much eliminate the costs of wireless for all but the best quality lossless sources

I do listen to DSD & FLAC on my phone, and I'm not sure whether it's psychoacoustics or not, but I do hear differences between AptX & LDAC. Also listenning to music I do not mind the latency, and really it's not that bad with LDAC.

 

[FiiO]

Anyone having a problem with the new update? Right after updating the app and firmware i can access the menu Setting-> Fiio BTR3, but after a while (i switch back and forth between Spotify & fiio music app) the menu Setting -> Fiio BTR3 is disappeared from Fiio Music app.

Dear friend,

Please try to exit the FiiO music from settings of the FiiO music then enter again for check? Or please try to reset the BTR3 and reconnect?

Best regards

 

[FiiO]

I Spoke a bit too soon. The settings that are changed within the FiiO app, they don't stick. So every time I connect to the device again, I have to go back into the BTR3 settings and change stuff again. @FiiO Is it not possible to save the settings within the device and have them stay when connecting to different devices etc?

Dear friend,

Some of the settings for the BTR3 can be remembered. You don't need to set again when connecting to device again.
But some of the settings could only work one time after setting.

For reference:
RGB indicator option (ON/OFF)

Note: This setting will be out of work if the BTR3 is rebooted, and that is to say, the RGB indicator will light again after reboot.

Charge option (ON/OFF)

Note: After the setting is changed, it will take affect after re-plugging the USB cable. The Charge option will be set to ON automatically if BTR3 is in low battery condition.

Best regards

 

[FiiO]

I have the same problem after the update. At first the menu didn't appear at all. After reinstalling Fiio Music the menu appeared on the first run. The second time I opened the app it was gone again.

The other issues are worse though. Using Fiio Music the BTR3 stutters. It seems the unit constantly switch the codec it uses: the logo changes color. On any other apps the volume is whisper quiet.
This is using the 1.0 firmware and Fiio Music 1.0.4 on a phone running Android 7.1.1

Dear friend,

Did you turn on the HWA option in the FiiO Music?
Please try to turn it off and reset the BTR3 to see if it helps?

Best regards

Yes, the stuttering only happens in Fiiio Music when HWA is active.
After deleting pairing history and re-pairing with my phone, the volume issues are fixed. Even Fiiio Music works as long as HWA is not engaged.

I tried each of them and it didn't work, but then i tried both resetting BTR3 and turning off the HWA, the menu appears again.
And if i turn on HWA, the menu will disappear when i comeback to the Fiio App.

I am trying to get a usb c dac for my phone. I have found Fiio btr1k, Fiio btr3, shanling up, shanling m0. Does any one know which is the best? And are there any other options?​

 

[dpsbz]

Hi just got my BTR3 and I like it but thought it would go a lot louder tbh . Also when I press the volume up button the music fades out then back in again . Is this normal ?

That just means you have hit the volume limit. Make sure you also maxed the volume on your phone.
