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.

With the new App I can access BTR3 settings. But while the whole app runs in german, the BTR3 settings are only displayed in chinese letters. Is there a way to change this?

EDIT: Curiously the FIIO App showed up for update in the Play Store a second time (same version). Afterwards everything worked fine.

The BTR3 just released not too long ago... I doubt BTR5 will release anytime soon. I don't think it's a bad idea to get BTR3 when a refresh or successor is still a long way to go.

That said, Shanling have a new receiver coming up. It might be a good idea to hold off buying BTR3 to see what Shanling have to offer. As of now, the BTR3 remains one, if not the best, bluetooth receiver.

I have supposed BTR5 would hit another target not the same that BTR3, but maybe just a next gen :/

FiiO Bluetooth receiver lineup is already confusing as it is. Of course, I would be interested if they decided to make a higher-end version. But it's not something I see it happening anytime soon, especially as BTR3 just hit the market.

Then I'll wait a bit for the Shanling device to make a decision.

PS: To be honest I know nothing about Shanling product line, I was just looking to buy a good portable bluetooth device in order for everyday and a pc amp(I almost bought the E10K or even Q1MKII but now Im waiting for the new k3 but I would take in consideration any other you would recommend me :) )

I think BTR3 definitely suit your use. ES100 is also comparable functionality-wise, but I like the sound of BTR3 better. Bluewave Get is great if you are driving headphone, but less so with IEM due to the hiss it produces. Sound-wise, I think the Get is better than ES100, but you have to use the aptX HD codec.

I can recommend AT-PHA55BT, but the functionality is limited (no USB DAC support) and can only connect to 1 device at a time. AK XB10 sounds good too, but battery life is too short and also no USB DAC support.
