[FiiO UTWS5] True Wireless Bluetooth Earhooks as Usual,Coupled with Independent AK4332 DAC
Aug 3, 2023 at 4:40 AM Post #2,326 of 2,560
I understand and I apologize to the members here for my tone. I do not apologize to @FiiO , though.

I am not frustrated at all. My main Bluetooth DAC/Headphone Amp this period is the iFi GO Pod. It works flawlessly using LDAC 990/909kbps with all of my devices, the BTA30 Pro, included! My UTWS5 remains inside its case for days now. I am only using my second pair, running firmware v1.5, with my laptop to watch a film/TV series in the evenings.

Furthermore, I never use my BTA 30 Pro because I do not own a desktop computer. I am using laptops.

The only reason I am reporting these issues here is because @FiiO needs to take their firmware implementation and App development seriously! Not give one new feature and break another two.
Dear friend,

We have reported your feedback to the engineer again. They will try to check whether they could provide a new firmware for UTWS5 for you but it will take some time. Thanks for the understanding in advance!

Best regards

You have repeatedly praised the Go Pods, and I am happy you are enjoying them. However, you are posting an awful lot of questions and request in that thread, as well as in this one. Please understand that engineers can’t resolve issues instantaneously, give the manufacturers a chance to process requests and iron out firmware bugs. Flooding the threads with multiple posts and, demanding hurry the hell up answers from busy manufacturers, whom are being nice enough to be in these forums, is not going to get what you want resolved any sooner. be patient.

Dear friend,

The engineer provide a new firmware for solving the issue you mentioned. If you don't mind, you could have a try. I tried again and the volume adjustment in UTWS5 work fine when connecting to BTA30Pro. Download link: http://fiio-firmware.oss-us-west-1.aliyuncs.com/UTWS5/UTWS5_dfu_v1.74.bin

Thank you, @FiiO

I have successfully installed the v1.74 firmware and, after the required factory resets, I can confirm that the volume adjustments work as intended now with my BTA30 Pro, as well as with my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, both with aptX and LDAC.

Thank you very much for fixing this issue.

One last question, please @FiiO reply. Are you still developing the BTA30 Pro? Or, you have abandoned this great device? For example, is it possible to add Next/Previous song selection to it, when paired to your UTWS5?

Hello FiiO,

I confirm that this new firmware has, in my case, solved the volume problem when the UTWS5 is connected to the BTA30Pro via LDAC, thank you.

Unfortunately, I have another issue with this pairing - very quickly the LDAC signal drops out on one or both earpieces, with just crackling and noise audible. If I switch to a different codec on the BTA30Pro the audio is restored without problem. If I then switch back to LDAC the audio is OK for a short time until it again drops out. In summary, LDAC between the UTWS5 and the BTA30Pro is not currently a viable option. I hope that you can identify and fix this problem. Thank you in anticipation.

친애하는 친구,

엔지니어가 언급한 문제를 해결하기 위한 새 펌웨어를 제공합니다. 괜찮으시다면 시도해 볼 수 있습니다. 다시 시도했는데 BTA5Pro에 연결할 때 UTWS30의 볼륨 조정이 제대로 작동합니다. 다운로드 링크: http://fiio-firmware.oss-us-west-1.aliyuncs.com/UTWS5/UTWS5_dfu_v1.74.bin

감사합니다
Thank you for your proactive updates.
However, the volume of transparency mode is still too small compared to the 1.5 version.
I would really appreciate if you could fix it.

Dear friend,

The BTA30Pro hasn't stopped production currently.
We will report your feedback to the product manager for assessing first.

Dear friend,

Since the BTA30Pro does not support Snapdragon Sound,so the LDAC connection with UTWS5 may not work so well. We will try to improve it still.
