Got my BTR5 first thing this week. I ordered it off AliExpress from FiiO's store, they're doing "free" DHL shipping for anyone who's interested it's included in the cost I'm pretty sure. Just note they charge taxes on AliExpress now, which is new to me, but some of you may already know. I ended up with a coupon I had getting charged $140ish. I needed a replacement bluetooth dac/amp for the Fiio BTR1K asap because the 3.5mm jack killed itself. I was happy because DHL delivered it within two days of me ordering it.
Impressions for the last three days of full use is that it's pretty amazing. Using it mostly for my IEMs, I have the BLON BL-03 and KZ ZS6. It has a great stock sound signature, I'm not using any EQ for now, for me it's noticeably better than the BTR1K (given that was a budget option). The only thing at the moment I have to compare it to is the Topping MX3, I haven't really put the two side by side or anything, most likely will this weekend as well as use some overears. Gotta say I am loving the app, FiiO has put a lot of effort to make the settings at least come close to what I saw on the EarStudio app. I had the BTR3 briefly and it seems like they've made this model more customizable from what I remember being on the BTR3's customization. Also haven't used this as a USB-C dac/amp either. Battery life seems pretty decent from what I've experienced. I took it to work for the first time today and haven't had to charge it yet, I didn't charge it the day before either.
So far only negative thing I can say is it's a glass sandwich and fingerprint magnet... but hey so is my phone.
