I realised I'w been using only base aptx codec with my computer the whole time, seems like my PC doesnt support other codecs, just ordered this BT transmitter that connects with optical and supports LL and HD codecs, posting here if someone else is having issues with their computer.

Will post how it sounds like later.
Got Oasis Plus, connected optical to my pc and wow what a difference it makes. Automatically connects to both my headphones depending on whats powered up without having to do anything on PC as it just blindly outputs through optical. Played some CSGO, putting the switch on LL mode it made the game audio from unplayable to actually completely playable, very low latency, bullets nicely sync with shooting oh boy. Also aptx-HD sounds absolutely fantastic and has good enough latency for general purpose music and videos.

So, if anyone is using these adapters with a computer then I highly recommend this device as you get additional codec support regardless of your operating system, not bad. Also got additional signal range compared to my motherboard BT even though it has pretty decent antenna, zero cutouts through 2 congrete walls.

It's easy like replacing battery in Chinese toys. You just need to pry plastic cover with some flat but not too sharp tool and swipe it around. There is plastic clip on the top so don't pry from that side. It's glued so you gonna have to use some force to take it off but don't try too hard to avoid puncture the battery. After you take off plastic cover peel off battery gently and desolder wires. Next solder new battery and use some tape to stick it to motherboard. Place plastic cover and use some glue (B7000 preferable, avoid Super Glue) to stick it. My clip felt off many months ago, so my plastic cover looks different but it's just a piece of plastic.


Thank you for information. I still don't understand why Fiio can't send new battery for their customer. The cost of sending Fiio BTR3 to China and returned it back to customer will be high. Also in my country (Indonesia) there are some rules that can make cost even higher.

I think fiio should provide new battery in their local distributors. So we can replace it without sending their product to China.

Dear user,

We are willing to send the battery to users which not only be convenient to you but also us. But unfortunately, the shipping company fails to send the battery oversea because of the strict customs here. We did try to send the battery to some users before but all were returned or confiscated. We will still try to communicate with the shipping company about that.

Best regards

Mr. FiiO:

Please, make the FiiO music app equalizer work with LDAC. It works against sales of the BTR3 and BTR5 not having the equalizer working on LDAC. A lot of buyers have chosen your main competitor's equivalent product, the Radsone EarStudio ES100, just because of the FiiO app issues. You must get smarter about that.

Dear user,

Thanks for your kind feedback. We will report this to the engineer as well. Since the audio processing process of LDAC is more special than other Bluetooth formats, we are still doing related debugging, and strive to achieve the same effect as other Bluetooth formats, but it will take a certain amount of time.

Best regards

Any plans to add some of the features from the btr5 app to btr3? Like the one where you can input sensitivity and impedance to calculate output?

Come on FiiO the damn BTR3 has been out for over two years. Hell those of us who purchased it when it came out will have to replace it by the time you implement this because the batteries won't be any good. Typical FiiO with promised features that never happen.

No matter what I do, I can’t get my btr3 to connect to computer as a dac. The light just stays blue. Computer doesn’t even show the device as connected. Done the power button 3 times thing, reset btr3, changed to manual mode. This is a brand new hp stream with windows 10. My es100 hooks up instantly with no problems. Maybe I grabbed the cord for my ūbtr? Could that be the problem? I thought usb c was all the same? Anybody have any ideas? Could it be because I am using windows 10 s mode? I wasn’t on my other laptop and it didn’t see the btr3 either.

How strong is the connection of bluetooth audio? I've got a FiiO btr3 and a Sony NW-A55 DAP. The DAP has 4.1 bluetooth and the FiiO has a bunch of audio codecs. I've tried many different types of connection; LDAC, APTX HD. Yet I still get some audio skip once in awhile. Most cases my DAP is in my backpack and the FiiO btr is either like 1 feet away or 6. Anything that gets in the way of the connection or even just moving my arm over the device cuts off audio. I didnt think it was this sensitive...
