I'm using BTR3K with FH1S and I'm very pleased with the sound and performance, however enabling the equalizer in FiiO Control drops overall volume by what seems like 4db. Is this intended and can it be enabled without the volume drop?
Hi,

The equalizer is implemented in the digital processing stage, and includes a filter stage and a digital gain stage. Volume is controlled after digital-analog conversion. The equalizer filter can effect a maximum increase of 6dB in a frequency band; if this is done without lowering the digital gain, it could cause the digital signal to clip at 0dBFS and cause audible distortion. Lowering the analog volume afterwards has no effect on the distortion. Thus to preserve signal integrity, a digital gain of -6dB is added when equalizer settings are enabled to avoid clipping. This does not affect audio quality except in so far as you need to turn up the volume afterwards.

Best regards

I just got mine. Lovely little gizmo. I am listening with the Nighthawks using the balanced jack.

Update: Found the setting on phone: Bluetooth Devices -> Fiio BTR3K -> Settings -> LDAC Enable. Any point in messing with the bitrate / sample settings in dev options?

What color is your indicator light pulsing in? In my S8, I have the bluetooth BTR3K's settings "LDAC enabled". Also in the Fiio Control app, in "Select Bluetooth codec", I ONLY have LDAC enabled.

So one would think that I'm using the LDAC codec. Yet, the indicator color is more of a Lilac color, which is more purple (ie APTX) than it is white (ie LDAC.).

Edit: Yup, I'd say it's purple. Definitely not white. Also, I have rebooted both my phone and the BTR3K.

Maybe @FiiO can shed some "light" on the matter?

Update: I read somewhere else that with the BTR3, the LDAC indicator color is really just "less purple" than with APTX. I went into a dark room and compared the lights, and that indeed seems to be the case on my BTR3K as well: APTX is purple, and LDAC is a bit less purple (but still purple).

Is that what others here have observed as well?
