I bought it on Aliexpress 3 months ago - the seller isn't going to do anything...
What can FIIO's support do about this?

Dear user,

You could send the Aliexpress receipt to us first. And which country are you located in now?

Best regards

My BTR3 doesn't show up in my LG G3 Bluetooth device search. The Bluetooth version for the LG G3 is 4.0. Is it right for this to happen being the FiiO BTR3 a Bluetooth 4.2 device?

Dear user,

Is your BTR3 in pairing mode at that time?

How to enter pairing mode:
Hold the button Multifunctional button for about 5 seconds when the device is on,and the red and blue lights will flash alternately.

Best regards

Thank you, Mr. FiiO! Your instructions solved the problem. I had only paired my BTR3 with one source before this one. That happened a long time ago and when I powered on the BTR3 for the first time. And since the BTR3 was already in pairing mode, it was easy to forget that I had to purposely get the BTR3 into pairing mode to get it connected to other sources.

How does the sound quality of the BTR3K through the unbalanced jack compare to the sound quality of the BTR3?

How does the sound quality of the BTR3K through the unbalanced jack compare to the sound quality of the BTR3?

BTR3K sounds almost as good as BTR5, just not as powerful on the output. It is a complete level above the old BTR3.

How does the sound quality of the BTR3K through the unbalanced jack compare to the sound quality of the BTR3?

It sounds a bit better than BTR3 (which can sound too thin sometimes), and a lot better than BTR5 (which sounds too veiled).

Thank you BenF!

Does that mean that the BTR3 sounds better than the BTR5 through the 3.5 mm unbalanced jack?

My BTR3 sounds impressive connected to a very clean portable amplifier that go into my JVC HA-FX1100 earphones. Being those earphones of the bass heavy kind, there is no thinness in the sound of my BTR3 with that sound setup.

Yes, BTR3 sounds a lot cleaner than BTR5.

How is the soundstage of the BTR3K and the BTR5 through the unbalanced (3.5mm) jack? The soundstage of the BTR3 is like being on a small stage with all the musicians. It is nice in that all sounds have a bold expression. It isn't nice in that there is no sense of distance and depth in the individual or overall presentation.

If you are using BTR3 as a DAC, the soundstage is mostly defined by your amplifier (and headphones, of course).

I just connect the headphones jack of my BTR3 to the input jack of my amplifier with a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm male to male coupler.

 

[Sp12er3]

just double amping it then?

Yes
