best of both worlds
transparency mode was one of the main reasons i bought the UTWS5. if it is cancelled, it would be a deal breaker for me.
Gotcha ya
My thoughts exactlyThis is exactly what Fiio has said about this feature coming to the UTWS 3. There was a beta version and it was then cancelled, instead the promise this feature will finally be available with the UTWS 5.
Don`t get me wrong, I find it right that new features should only be implemented if certain quality standards are fulfilled.
But what about doing your beta testing in the background without announcing or promising features that you are not sure of yet if they will meet your standards?
Otherwise it is overpromising underdelivering (instead of the other way round!)…and this is never good for the reputation of a company, at least in my opinion.
To be honest, as a European I never fully understood why many Chinese companies are often rushing sooo much to announce / bring out new features or products that are still massively under development. I have owned several Fiio products that were all nice from their idea, but literally none of them was bug free or didn`t have any small issues etc.
Never had those experiences with Sony, Sennheiser etc.
Of course those companies might have a better financial backup, but I feel that is not everything. It also has to do a lot with their philosophy to slow down their product cycles!
Might be a cultural difference and problem of different markets.....but Fiio is a big company that also has an international target group. So these things should be put into consideration while you develop a product ....
To be fair, again, the same applies to other companies like Hifiman, Shanling, Cayin etc.
Yes - very true. The problem is that companies like FiiO genuinely care about providing timely updates but end up shooting themselves in the foot by declaring what they 'intend' to do rather than actually focusing on the gaps of their current products and then announcing it when it's actually done. The B&O Beoplay EQ is a great example of where B&O stayed somewhat silent on the various issues around volume, multi-point and skip track controls but after the silence, BOOM, they announce it's available and everybody is pleasantly surprised (including myself) because at that point, nobody was expecting them to deliver. It's always better to err on the side of under promise and over deliver rather than over promise and under deliver. The latter will always always always, leave a bad stain on your brand.This is exactly what Fiio has said about this feature coming to the UTWS 3.

So, do you have an ETA for the new firmware?
Yeah I remember the bombardment of tech spec sheets around launch, hints at system wide PEQ and still nothing coming to fruition yet.
If the Phone supports LHDC and is connected to UTWS5, you can switch EQ through the FiiO Control APP
However, our EQ-enabled software is currently in testing and will only be released later
I just wish FiiO would learn a few things from Qudelix...
I don't think so. "Later" for FiiO means after one year, or so. But better wait for @FiiO Willson 's next appearance on this thread, after 15 days or so, to get your answer.
A new version will be available soon for everyone to use
