Yes I think I figured it out There was an option for MQA within UAPP itself, it's a paid option but its worth it, now I get it to work through btr5 with no issues.As for the PC yes I did disable passthrough MQA and loudness

So can you get MQA display in BTR5 2021 when playing in PC now?

Best regards

Nope I cannot.I guess it's because I haven't upgraded to Master HiFi lol. The thing that brothers me it's I have downloaded Amazon HD music for free 3 months on my phone I can't get it to play more than 48 khz. I have read several forums about this issue but couldn't figure it out yet. I'm using Android 11 on Xiaomi mi 10 and tried developer options but nothing works. I guess it's due to using UAPP while in DAC mode and somehow it prevents other apps of using btr5 s potential. While playing through UAPP both tidal and stored FLAC on my phone are displayed correctly,even MQA! I guess there's nothing I can do much about it lols

Hi. Is it worth upgrading from the original to the 2021 version? AdvancedMP3players are offering a 15% discount code for today, so now would be the time.

If you don't really care about MQA support it's fine to stick with the older model. I am using it on UAPP but really I don't have those trained ears to hear any difference between MQA and HiFi audio. There are also less filters on the 2021 if you care for them - now they have Hybrid fast roll-off and Fast roll-off (they do make a difference to my ears lol). Other than that it's basically the same but with newer ESS chip and MQA support

Thanks for the reply. You've just saved me some money!

Yeah well, they're both priced almost the same if I'm not mistaken and you get the MQA as a bonus, I still further testing it but apart from Tidal I don't know where this can be used

Well 2021 version is a bit more expensive - probably the MQA licence for the chip. I got it at same price but as Black Friday discount.
But older version is hard to find now.

Did a test now to connect to a Fiio M5 running as USB Host. Didn't know why it;s not working until I get the volume louder...
Must set one of the two with the volume at maximum in order to work, preferably the M5.

Pitty FiiO doesn't have a player using the dual DAC section of BTR5.

It's called the Shanling M3x...

 

[Nas Volokin]

Listening to this on my FD5 on BTR5 is such a great experience, amazing

 

[Eiffel]

It's called the Shanling M3x...

Or Hidizs AP80 Pro, or HiBy R3 Pro Saber, or...
Just not FiiO.
They have the M3Pro using one DAC, but not the same...
Maybe a future M7 Pro ? To have also FM Radio ?

Hi. I already have the original version.

Well, the M3X uses the exact same DAC (ES9219C) in dual configuration as BTR5 2021, which was my point. The others are the same as old BTR5, correct?

Hi, is it possible to use BTR5 2021 with iPhone by just using a lightning cable? Thought it is not possible to do so but Fiio website said otherwise plus there is a package that comes with a lightning cable.

Yes, I'm able to use my original BTR5 with my iPad and iPad. You do need a lightning to usb-c cable, like the LT-LT1: https://www.fiio.com/productinfo/609228.html

I do believe that FiiO sells it as a package if you you can find it.

Thanks, I do have that cable and some other lightning cables. May I know if there is a need to adjust any settings (phone or fiio app) or just simply plug and play?
