We will continue to work on the EQ function under LDAC coding.

Now I can't wait to this , with LDAC EQ support will be perfect device for me. Keep great work FiiO team.

The green light is the HWA codec which is only supported via Fiio music app. It is not a system wide codec (unless your phone supports it natively). With other apps, you need to select the codec to use with the BTR3 (LDAC being the best).
I have found the HWA codec to be very unstable. As soon as you pause Fiio music or do something on your phone, the connection is dropped (even with latest firmware). In terms of sound quality, I hear no noticeable difference to LDAC, so I turn off the HWA setting.

Dear friend,

If you are using the HWA in FiiO Music APP, please try to exit the FiiO Music APP after switching on the HWA option. Then enter it again and switch to next song for check.

Best regards

Must be missing something - i get the green pulsing light when i play music from Fiio app to my Samsung GS10
But as soon as i leave the fiio app it reverts to Blue (sbc) or ldac if i select that in BT settings
Odd

Dear friend,

Does your mobile phone supports HWA codec itself? If not, the HWA codec in FiiO Music APP could only work in FiiO Music APP.
But in the case your mobile phone supports HWA codec, other music APP could also use this Bluetooth codec.

Best regards

hi FIIO,

BTR5 - when??

This does actually work. Thanks. However, if I get any notification alerts on the phone then the connection is dropped again. Skipping forward or backward 1 track gets things connected again. Not really user friendly, but it does work.

Hi! has anybody tested if the BTR3 can be used as a DAC connected to an iphone or ipad?

Same question below if you continue reading from that post forward, wonder if it would draw less power with charging off?

Firmware Upgrade went smoothly by following the Step by Step Instruction, Finally, have the feature to permanently disable the Led Light.....But at iOS device connectivity option sucks.

Just got my BTR3 and cannot update the firmware. The unit not go into DFU mode. I've got to say, I'm pretty technically literate and I know what I;m doing in the device manager of a PC and pressing 2 buttons is pretty simple so I'm convinced this is not user error.
Steps to reproduce:
1st try: Full Charge > Power On > Press and Hold Multi Button & + Button Simultaneously = Flashing Blue Light - No DFU
2nd try. Power Off > Power On > Press and Hold Power 10 seconds to reset > Wait > Power Off > Power On > Press and Hold Multi Button & + Button Simultaneously = Flashing Blue Light - No DFU

Grateful if anyone knows a workaround or do I need to exchange?

Just writing down the missing part

1st try: Full Charge > Power On > Hold the Multi Function (which is middle button) Button for 5 Seconds, Then Red & Blue Light will flash Alternatively > Press and Hold Multi Button & + Button Simultaneously = Flashing Blue Light - No DFU

Bold underline step is missing from your statement...same goes to your 2nd try.

Thank you. I completely missed it. Got and updated!

@FiiO Why doesn't the EQ function work with your own devices (M11)?

 

[PeterMac]

What I hate after frimware update v.1.2 is notification sounds. They are same for connect/disconnect, power on/off etc. Please FiiO make something with this to be easy recognize. Should be different sound for every task.

 

[Bombyx]

I hated the notification sounds of v1.0, they were much too loud (made me jump up each time). So for me, the sounds of v1.2 are a great relief, a much needed improvement. But I agree that they are not perfect, they sound noisy and they are not distinctive enough. Just a random guess, but maybe FiiO had to reduce their memory footprint to make room for the new features.

It must be a matter of taste, but my preferred notification sounds are those from the cheap Bluetooth earphones I run with. A soft voice that gently says in English : "power on", "power off", phone 1 connected", "phone 2 connected", "out of range", "battery low", etc. This is lovely, but probably much too memory consuming...

Does on mine.

Even BT adapter can use some love from a leather case.

Mine arrived yesterday, nice looking case, thank you for posting
