They are all measured as USB DAC unless otherwise stated. BT measurement is not easy and tend to be far worst due to BT transcoding.

I see, what do the 2 and 3 after Jan4 mean? And why are those results so different to the UP4 Jan4 results?

It was measured 3 times, thus 3 result. The first result was particularly good, which I can't repeat subsequently on the next 2 measurements. I think the last 2 result are probably closer to real world use, but all 3 measurements result are included for reader to make up their own mind. This is why I also include BTR5 result in, as a reference that the difference isn't caused by the measuring process as BTR5 is very consistent under the same condition.

The results are so different it can't be down to random fluctuations. Must be something seriously wrong with the firmware. But even the 'good' result is poor compared to the BTR5. Hopefully the Qudelix 5K will have better implementation of the DAC/amp. That's if it ever comes out, the developer hasn't replied on his website's forum in nearly two months now...

Out of interest, could you take some measurements of the ES100 with the same system you measured the other BT adapters with? As that was made by the same developer of the Qudelix 5K, before he created his own company. That might give us an idea of how good his general implementation is.

I have measured ES100 in the past, don't think I have saved the result since I didn't detect any problem. It isn't as good as BTR5 but it is still fairly good overall.

RMAA in itself isn't good at telling how good something is, but it does reveal problem easily.

That's a shame it didn't measure as well as the BTR5, but maybe that's just down to the limits of the DAC. Hopefully the Qudelix 5K will be better (again, if it even gets released, I have some serious doubts it will...)

On what are you basing those doubts, did I miss anything?

As I said in a previous post, the developer hasn't replied to questions on his own website's forum or Facebook page in nearly two months. Not a good sign...

Fwiw I last talked to him right before Christmas and at that time he confirmed that they're on schedule for a late March/early April release, hopefully that's still correct.

I think it's fair to assume that a small and new company will put priority to getting their product on the market over answering questions on a forum but time will show.

Good to hear but a new company also got to hype the crowd for there product and dont let everybody think its death

I hope you're right. It just seems odd that he was answering all questions online then suddenly stopped without any public explanation or update on the project for that long.

But it's only 24 hours in a day

No jk, I agree with you but I've got no idea how many employees Quedelix have. If it's a one or two person operation I can understand it but it's not ideal.

Of course but the threads on the qudelix forum went from "when can we purchase when will kickstarter begin" to "is he dead maybe he had an acident i dont dont know if i should crowdfind it when he gives months no sign" you know. I think the problem is that he was to aktiv in his forum and now nothing

 

[boodi]

just exchanged a word with Quedelix (now) : they confirmed consumer production of 5k ( and soon after sale ) will be in March .

 

[boodi]

looking after kickstarter campaign for it

also a quote from author on FB page if someone didnt get it

The sound, as well as the measured performance, is much better than expected. Accurate and crystal clear. We would get what you couldn't hear before.

, I bet he knows about measurements too ..
