Just use an USB-C to USB-C cable. It'll work.

Have you actually tested it? You have any specific brand for this?

 

[jeffri]

Yeah. I have C to C cable from Anker and Mophie, both works fine. I also have short C to C from SXFI amp and works fine as well. The beauty of USB-C.

Just make sure you get cable that can transfer data, if I remember correctly, Macbook C to C charger cable only transmit power and that won't work.

It defeats the purpose of being a bluetooth wireless dac/amp but hey, it's really a good idea to begin with, cause nothing beats a wired one. It needs to be tested to actually make it work. You probably need a Phone=usb-c to otg adapter(female)(will act like a computer source) BTR3=usb-c to otg adapter(male). Connect them together and see.

It does to a point with this particular model since the USB mode DAC is limited to 16 bit 44khz - so you're limited to what quality you can get but yes - that's still likely better even that LDAC

@FiiO - any ETA when EQ will be available ?

No, currently. I will report to the engineer again.

Any particular bt dongle I should buy to pair with btr3 for my pc?

Bt5 or bt4.2 will suffice?

 

[jmwreck]

No, currently. I will report to the engineer again.

Hi, I just wanna ask since I'm a bit OC with my stuff, does the 3.5mm jack and type-C socket have through hole component or smd?

To everyone, are you concern about plugging in and out on the headphone jack? (not specifically in your BTR3, but on the rest of your devices). I'm using a right angle jack extension.

Hey got a question regarding the BTR3 as a PC DAC.

Can i connect the BTR3 on Windows 10 as a USB DAC and use it as a bluetooth dongle streaming in LDAC to my Sony WH-1000XM3?

Since there is no LDAC (or even aptX-HD) bluetooth dongle yet this would solve all my problems!

Thanks in advance!

I recently received a pair of KZ AS10 s. I didn't know this before ordering them, but apparently they are very sensitive IEMs. When connecting them to my phone or pc via a normal cable, they do have some static/hissing noise which is very annoying. I'll be honest, I don't want a separate device just to listen to music, or a bunch of cables between devices, so I've reached the conclusion that I need something like the BTR3. My question is to those of you that own it and have sensitive headphones/earphones - is there any static ?
Before reaching this forum thread, my other choice would have been shanling m0, but it's a lot more expensive, and I probably wouldn't be using its player options. Also I assume the BTR3 has a much better batterly life.

No. BTR3 is not a transmitter.

There are aptX HD transmitters, but with optical Toslink input (not USB). If your computer doesn't have Toslink output, you can use a USB to Toslink converter.

Little BTR3 shattered today after I launched it 10 feet away onto solid concrete.

But the little warrior still chugs along

So yeah PSA... don't launch your BTR3 onto hard ground.

Sorry to hear about that.

The front panel is made of 2.5D tempered glass. The rigidity is 6H (same as iphone's touch screen). It's not easy to be scratched but please avoid to put it together with keys or other sharp metal objects.

Best regards

Joining in. Just got mine last Thursday. So far, I am very happy with the performance. LDAC is very nice. I am also using it as my DAC for my laptop.

Quick feedback on it is that it sounds a lot cleaner than the headphone out of the laptop, with zero hiss in the background and better detail retrieval. I also find it more open, and it is generally brighter than the laptop's headphone out.

Also using this a lot for calls. The microphone is excellent. It actually sounds better for me than the in-line mic of my Focal Spirit One.

I initially bought the BTR3 because of the mic since apparently it has noise cancelling. My laptop's onboars mic is just so bad, it gets all of the noise around the area and it has too much feedback.

Use cases:

1. Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) → Bluetooth LDAC → FiiO BTR3 (Bluetooth mode) → Headphones
2. ASUS ZenBook UX360UA → USB-C → FiiO BTR3 → Headphones

Headphones:

1. FlipEars Aiden Dual-Driver BA Custom IEMs
2. Shure SE215
3. Focal Spirit One
4. Feels Pro900 with Custom Cable

On a typical work day, I combine both USB-C mode (to connect to the laptop) and Bluetooth LDAC (to connect to my phone). Music is playing from my laptop, but when I get calls on my phone, it mutes the music from the laptop and audio goes to my phone. This is a super convenient feature and it helps me have a synchronized experience between my laptop and my phone.

Can we use BTR3's mic instead of Laptop's build in mic when using USB DAC mode?

Do the sound settings on your computer show the BTR3 as a USB mic or USB audio input device? If not, then the answer is no.

Hello!
I've downloaded the latest firmware, however, I still find that the microphone quality on phone calls is awful. I finally had to go back to the BTR1, because it does a pretty good job with calls.
Is there any way or are there any plans to improve the Mic quality on the BTR3 or should I go ahead and return it?
