Apparently yes. 100$ is a decent price for this kind of device. Also Btr5 still give connection issues with 900kbs, so, unless you want to use it as a dac or you really need the display, I would go for something cheaper, like btr3 or the es100. Or wait untilsomething shows up eventually that offers over 1mbs, it's cehap and doesn't loose connection.

No connection issues here with 900kbs from LG G8; connection distance is not as great as lesser bandwidth options, but that is to be expected. IMHO BTR5 sounds much cleaner, less muddled than es100; however BTR5 does not have EQ with LDAC. No problem for me as I don't use EQ, YMMV.

I saw that it’s competitor the m5 doesn’t allow that while receiving Bluetooth. The shanling m0 does?

I had to go back and check, you made me doubt it for a moment, but yes I have it working here now. LG V30->M0(LDAC)->IFi xDSD its working OK.

No

Check out Ebay. I just received a 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm balanced cable for my PM-3 and it works very well. Price was $21.99. Great pairing with BTR5.

Thank you for the hint.
I'll have a look.

I’ve 3D printed a first prototype of a case, there’s a big gap on the bottom but I’m still kinda pleased with it haha. Will print an improved version soon

Would like to have a thin case with a low profile shirt clip (similar to that of the Shanling UP4's)

BTR3 has poor signal retention IMO and with 990kbps with BTR5 its also down to the device feeding it and other BT/Wifi interference in your area same as other BT devices.

Made this short balanced cable yesterday for pairing Rose Maria with BTR5.

And if you don't have the skills/equipment to make your own, and use mmcx connectors get the excellent Fiio version. Quality throughout and its cheap!

I'm in the need of a very short, let's say 5 inch, cable with 2.5 to 3.5 balanced plugs.

Will used it for work in my car detailing company.
I'll take a look around to find one at a reasonable price.
At FAW, i've to pay 89 € for. ^^

Both pretty cool, I've just been wrapping the excess cable round my neck and clipping btr5 to my collar. Of course these would be a better, more eloquent solution. It's really nice though because all 3 of my current iems sound better than my Sony wireless earphones.

Just got my btr5.
Anyone else getting a slight crackling/popping noise every now and again on aptxll?

I get it mostly when the device is slightly far or sometimes when traveling and my phone is in trouser 's pocket. However this is on LDAC and APTX HD

LDAC and aptxhd perform flawlessly for me, but even with the btr5 right next to the transmitter (mee audio), using aptx ll, there are very slight interruptions that sound like crackles and pops. It's not huge but it's just enough to be annoying.

 

[archy121]

Sure.
But it needs a bit of listening time.
Its hard till impossible to match volumes by hearing.
Don't know how it'll effect audio from se to bal with nearly 100mW more on the Btr5.

Did you get around to comparing the two ?

Dear friend,

We will report your feedback to the engineer. But we are not sure whether the MQA Audio support could added in the future or not.

Best regards

Any updates on this request ??

Full MQA unfolding using BTR5 in a future firmware.
