To be clear, do those settings affect how the BTR5 interacts electronically with headphones in any way, or do they affect the power delivery at all? If not I don't see their purpose.

No. It just estimates power consumption.

It does not affect how tht BTR5 performs in any way.

To be more precise, it only estimates power output assuming a 0dBFS (I'm assuming 1kHz sine wave) signal. Considering you don't listen to 0dBFS 1kHz sine waves (I'm assuming again), it's pretty much a completely useless gimmick.

It is working

I have one question, I have Office 365 on both computer and phone, and if I am in a MS Teams call on computer, and receive for example an e-mail this gives an notification on my phone, and due to the phone being Bluetooth connected to the Fiio, the sound in the MS Teams call is muted for several seconds, is there any way to shorten the mute period?

Dear friend,

Sorry no.

Best regards

(2) New Bluetooth DAC/Amps preview and existing product information

Our definition for Bluetooth DAC and amplifier is a compact body, Bluetooth receiving emphasis, USB decoding support, while can also be used as a USB dongle and support phone calls through the built-in mic.
This year, FiiO will continue to expand its Bluetooth DAC/Amp product line and release a high-end model, the BTR7. In fact, the BTR7 has already shown up at the just-concluded Japan Headphone Spring Festival.
The biggest feature of the BTR7 is that it supports 4.4 balanced headphone output. Compared with the DAC integrated amp circuit commonly used in Bluetooth DAC/Amps, the independent THX amp applied has a greater improvement in sound quality, and the larger high-resolution color display also improves user experience. More detailed information will be announced at the new product launch event expected in June.
We have no update plans for the currently hot-selling BTR5 and BTR3K this year. In the future, FiiO's product line of Bluetooth DAC/Amp will be composed of the BTR3K, BTR5, and BTR7. It provides consumers with rich choices of different price ranges, sound quality, portability and functions.

Right on time i'm planning to buy Xduoo Link2Bal to replace my DFRed...

Hows the power output on 3.5mm and 4.4mm?
the old 3.5mm barely able to make sound for HE400SE (which is a bit heavy)

Dear friend,

We could not provide the exact parameter currently. But the output power of 3.5mm port for BTR7 will be higher than the BTR5. If you don't mind to wait, you could compare when the BTR7 is available.

Looks like a nice upgrade, first of this type of product with wireless charging too I believe.

But the price will be increased substantially, and battery life will remain the same despite the much larger battery (guess the new amp requires a lot of power).

4.4mm balanced headphone out

·THX fully balanced amp circuit

·Colored ips large screen

·Wireless charging

·QCC5124 Bluetooth chip (aptx Adaptive) + Dual ES9219

I really hope the USB-dac mode will work the same as the 5k...were it bypasses the internal battery completely and thus saving battery health.

Dear friend,

No. The BTR5 does not have MFI. But theoretically, if you would like to use the BTR5 as the USB DAC, you could connect the ios device with the BTR5 via the Apple Camera Connection Kit (CCK) ，with BTR5 charge option in off status.

Best regards

Hi,
so normal USB.C to lightning adaptor/cable will not work, even the original ones from Apple? Why does it work with the Fiio LT LT 1 cable, what is the difference?
Can it work with any lightning to USB OTG?

I'm curious about the technical reasons.

I hope someone actually knows the technical reasons. I know that many of us have done the DAC cable dance with Apple hardware. I have a whole bunch of useless USB C to Lightning cables to prove it. Several of them even claimed to be OTG.

EDIT: and no, you don’t need the camera connection kit to use the BTR5 wired.

So, which cables worked? I‘ve returned a couple cables myself.

Great info shared about BTR 7

150mW @ 32ohm SE
300mW @ 32ohm BAL

Hope this remains true.

BTW, found really good offers on FIIO accessories, inc. cables, on wifimedia.eu

Store is located in Arnhem, NL.

This one:

The longer version also works:

I also have one of these and it works well too. It’s handy because it’s short.

Hmmm, balanced output isn't really that much higher then BTR5's 240 mW.

Dear globobock,

The USB C to lightning cable from Apple may not have OTG function. Some users told us that this cable could not work with the BTR5 and other DAC.
