H U G E difference between LDAC and Aptx. and a smaller but still noticeable difference from Aptx HD. LDAC is the bomb for wireless BT

LHDC performs very poorly with the BTR3 IME. Stick with LDAC.

I just notice that if i leave my phone screen on, there will be no stuttering. as soon as the screen turn off, it stutters

I assume LHDC uses a lot of CPU and CPU is throttled down when screen is off? idk

WiFi also affects it. Turn off WiFi and its better. For me it just wasnt worth the hassle and LDAC sounds so good anyway. I just consider LHDC as non existent.

I'm not sure I can hear any difference beetwen AAC 256kbs and LDAC

I'm not sure either as I dont use AAC but go into your Bluetooth settings and click optimize for audio quality see what you fined / hear what you hear. On one of my devices I can set it to 900 mbitsr sure there is a difference btwn AptX and LDAC

Would still love to see the FW update to BT5.0 though. (...) I know it doesnt change the sound, but it does improve ranges and battery consumption.

Hardly so. Actually, as far as Hi-Fi audio is concerned, the only improvement of BT 5 is the Slot Availability Mask, which improves the coexistence with other wireless devices (especially LTE). This can affect the signal quality in some circumstances, but nothing dramatic.

On one of my devices I can set it to 900 mbitsr sure there is a difference btwn AptX and LDAC

The bitrate is critical. Both 990kbps and 660kbps versions of LDAC are better than aptX HD, but the 330kbps version of LDAC is worse than aptX Classic (and arguably worse than SBC according to this article).

One solution to getting LHDC to be more stable in Fiio Music is to put your phone into aeroplane mode. Then turn bluetooth back on. Same for optimized for music LDAC connection. Not ideal, but it works for me.

Edit: Actually, disabling LTE / data is enough. Wifi seems to be ok.

LHDC stutters like crazy for me. Anyone experience the same?

Dear friend,

You are using the HWA from the mobile phone or the FiiO Music APP?
If you are using the HWA from the Huawei mobile phone, please try to switch frequency from 96kHz to 48kHz in your mobile phone.
If you are using the HWA in FiiO Music APP, please try to turn off and on the FiiO Music app after turning on the HWA option. Then switch to next file after turning on the FiiO Music app at the second time.

Best regards

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.

Dear friend,

Thanks for your kind feedback. But considering different notification sound may lead to misunderstanding easily, and in order to meet most users' need, we chose that notification sound in FW1.2. We will still consider about changing the notification sound in later firmware update according to the feedback from our users.

Best regards

 

[PeterMac]

Best notifications sound would be human voice like "Power On", Power Off", "Connected", "Disconected" etc. like in many Bluetooth devices. Same sound for everything is misunderstanding

Thank you. Yeah, I did that and it still stutters. The only time it doesn't is when I leave the screen on. When the phone's screen is off, it starts stuttering
(I use the app with Samsung S8+)

If your phone is rooted you can use an app to set the cpu to a fixed clock.

Thank you. Link for case -

That's nice... Sadly my btr is already too beat up for it... The clip on isn't as reliable as I'd liked.
Now on to updating hhe FW... I do like that it's device bound, as the default tuning is pretty flat, I'd love being Abel to change it based on mood. On that week.

hi FIIO,

BTR5 - when??

Still no response from FIIO on BTR5...but on twitter:

BTR5 is under the development now, and we wish we can release it in the coming months.

Yes, stay tuned!

Anyone else getting sub par battery life from the BTR3 3. I love this little BT DAC but I've had it it 2 weeks and I'm consistently only getting 6 hours out of it at low volume. I pump the volume on source a d dial in on the BTR3.
