Haha, yeah, that's probably why I couldn't find it anywhere, not even in the English part of fiio's forum.
If you could please keep an eye on it and update us when they post an update, as I wouldn't know where to look..hehe..
Thanks, my btr5 is in customs atm, looking forward to giving it a spin soon....

What how did you get one? I checked and it's not available anymore?

I pre ordered it about 2 months ago.

Perfect - kind of excess mWatts headroom I like for planar IEMs and cans for those very short spikes in watts requirements...luckily current generation planars needing way less watts than previous gens...looking gooood....

Anyway, wish they would all roll out small lossless devices this size soon instead of all this recoding of the original redbook FLAC etc...same way you can kick out your lossless to Allo USBridge etc.

ok, so I just unboxed this little puppy.

First impressions are that it does not seem to work as well as my earstudio es100
I tried the fiio control app and fiio music player and updated to firmware version 1.0.1
However the whichever equaliser setting I choose, it has no effect on the sound in ldac mode or usb mode.
Same when I set it in the menu on the device itself, any changes don't effect sound at all, looks like something is not working properly with the equaliser...
anybody else confirm this?

The EQ wont work with LDAC. Not sure about the USB Mode.

also not in USB mode, I just checked.
Is this by design or is it a bug?
That's a major drawback for me.

 

[tiamor988]

For USB Mode I'm not sure. For the LDAC, I think it's the design. Even BTR3 EQ cannot set with LDAC. You can search the BTR3 thread about it. Hopefully can be fixed with firmware update.

As I recalled the EQ feature is not actually implemented yet (same for BTR3). You can find the setting tab in the app, but it is a place holder for now until FiiO complete the implementation on future update.

I've just played with it a tad more, it works on all codec up to aptx-hd, anything higher and it won't work.
USB won't work, LDAC won't work.
Hope they fix this soon, that's a major flaw at this point in my eyes.

We are at least 2~3 months away from Qudelix 5K, that's assuming everything goes smooth from now. Given how much has changed over the last few weeks on the 5K, I think it is still too early to call it a success.

I just received the Fostex Tm2, and the adapter works fine. But the the earphones have a wierd industrial new car smell too them. @_@;

The given headphones sound very good in Qualcomm Truly wireless mode. They sound better than the Blon-03 with a bigger soundstage. Similarly ephathized bass, seperate and not muddled male voices that are just as forward as female voices. High that are there but not painful. Their only downside is they can't handle speedy convulated tracks.




I was planning to use the Blon-03, but the given drivers also have a better fit.


EDIT: Haha, just my luck my right ear piece mmcx adapter failed, breaking both the Fostex right driver and the adapter.. Now I need to use a 2pin iem and the 2pin adapters to proceed. So now using the Blon-03 and can't use the original Fostex right driver.

Anyone know if there is an english contact for Fostex?

UP4 gets a firm release date in China: 11.11.

So it means that it would be possible to buy it on ali?

Likely Shanling is going to sell it within China first, but it is not to say you won't find 3rd party seller putting it on Aliexpress.
