I also notice the volume drop when EQ is applied in unbalanced mode. Hopefully that can be addressed in firmware.
Overall I love the app and hope they continue enhancing it!!
I`d be very interested to hear whether you (and other BTR5 owners) also hear a slight sound quality loss (not only a volume drop) when switching on the EQ. To my ears switching on the EQ to "flat" clearly leads to less treble than without EQ (at least on iOS), even when I quickly adjust the volume to the same level as before.
Me, personally, I must say I don`t think the (iOS) app is very good yet, but I agree I hope they continue enhancing it! Besides fixing the EQ issue above,I am wishing for
- other bug fixes (for example, sometimes the app cannot detect my device anymore and I need to restart it a thousand times before it works again)
- being able to safe several EQ settings!
- not stopping the music anymore when switching on the app
- generally smoother interface (switching the EQ and other functions need loading time, for example!)
- no more language mistakes and mixed up languages within the interface
- firmware updates through the App (or at least being able to use a Mac)
etc.
Well, generally I am wishing for a similar app experience as the ES100 - which works so well!
Fiio really got the hardware right this time
, just the software.......ungh....
And oh, Fiio, can you pleeeeease change the sound when switching the device on? It sounds like an 80s computer jingle out of 5 dollar speakers - it is totally distorted! Does no fit to a "flagship" AUDIO device at all! Thanks!
