@ClieOS this https://ebay.to/2lXOOcp looks quite unique and interesting - especially with balanced 4.4mm. Unfortunately I can't find any info online - Oriolus 1795.

I have 2 Oriolus amps and thought I knew about their entire lineup but this is amp comes out of nowhere. Thanks for posting the link.

Found the product in taobao. Looks like it has two version. (4.4mm balance + 3.5mm SE) and (3.5mm balance + 2.5mm balance + 3.5mm SE).

It has wireless charging too. Add 1 yuan for 3.5mm 2 pin balance cable

Here is some of the important bits on Oriolus 1795:

Qualcomm CSR8675 (BT chip) + TI PCM1795 (DAC) + AKM AK4125VF (SRC, upsampling to 24/192)

Two versions:
(1) 4.4mm balanced + 3.5mm SE
(2) 2.5mm balanced + 3.5mm balanced (3.5PRO) + 3.5mm SE

Note that 3.5mm balanced follows the newer Chinese 3.5PRO standard. Older 3.5mm balanced plug might not able to use it.

SE spec:
Power: 150mW @ 32ohm
Distortion: 0.008% @ 1kHz
SNR: 110dB @ 1kHz A weighted

Balanced spec:
Power: 220mW @ 32ohm
Distortion: 0.006% @ 1kHz
SNR: 112dB @ 1kHz A weighted

Size: 96 * 41 * 15mm
Weight: 109g
Battery life: >7hrs SBC/AAC
Aluminium frame with front/back glass.

Price is rather high at around $235.

With almost the same output specs as the btr5/up4/5k, lower battery life, heavier, bigger, but more than double the price. The Oriolus 1795 better sounds like heaven in practice. Guess there are reasons why not many ppl has heard about it.

2.5D font/back glasses with OLED display (0.49inches, 64 x 32)
3.5mm single-ended + 2.5mm balanced output
Controllable via FiiO app
Setting (Filters, EQ ,etc) controllable via buttons.
NFC supported
220mW @ 32ohm, 7.6Vpp @ 300ohm (balanced)
Hardware High/Low gain + digital volume control

Not sure about PCM1795, but HRT microStreamer - (PCM1793 segemented current dac) was an amazing little DAC to my ears..less detail than Sabre new stuff but it had a great/sweet tonality.

BTR5 still not avail on aliX eBay etc....uuuuuuh...so long to wait for it.

(Not sure what the 3different price levels inidicate for BTR5 on taobao.....)

Delivery in China won't start till late October, as the first week of October is China's National Day holidays and many will be off till sometime second week. Not that it matters anyway since pre-sale on Taobao always limits to only Chinese, or more accurately anyone with a China bank account as that's what needed to pay for the deposit. International delivery will likely be in November.

I see they're offering the HiBy W3 for $59USD now.

Only 9h battery life, even with a bigger battery? Damn, I was hoping to upgrade from btr3 to 5 for more battery life as I get that 9h from btr3 already.

Don't forget there are a lot more hardware in the BTR5.

 

[ClieOS]

A little more info confirmed on the BTR5 - it will support headset with mic+remote on its 3.5mm socket. That means you can use your existing headphone that already has a mic to receive call, beside the internal mic inside BTR5.
