My first step into the world of DAC

I used my Signature Acoustics Raven IEMs with BTR5 both on ldax mode with bluetooth and direct connection with phone. I can clearly see every instrument through my ears. There is more prominence of instruments with mids and highs in the audible picture. Lows are not boosted but precise, so tight. This observation is based on all flat settings on high quality lossless audio. The sound is definitely more pronounced in the c to c dac to phone connection.Overall I am impressed with the sound signature so far based onmy 15 day usage.

We are glad you had a comfortable shopping experience with us and it is delightful to read such positive reviews on your product! Cheers and Welcome to the club!

UNCOMPROMISED SOUND QUALITY WITH TWO ES9219C AND XMOS XUF208 CHIPS

The core of the FiiO BTR5 2021 has been renewed with two ESS SABRE ES9219C DAC chips with better decoding performance than the previous generation, a higher signal-to-noise ratio, and lower power consumption. To further solidify the audio architecture the BTR5 2021 has utilised an XMOS XUF208 control chip. With this chip, the BTR5 2021 is capable of asynchronous audio decoding and can decode up to 384kHz sampling rate and native DSD in USB2.0 and Asynchronous USB DAC supports 384kHz sampling rate and DSD256 natively.

NOTE: DSD256 is encapsulated as 384kHz on Windows and 768kHz on OSX, so when running on Windows BTR5 supports up to DSD256 and DSD128 on OSX.

EFFICIENT POWER MANAGEMENT WITH QUALCOMM CSRS8675 CHIP

The biggest perk of integrating and updating the Qualcomm CSRS8675 into the FiiO BTR5 2021 is low-power consumption and improved audio capabilities. This chip allows BTR5 2021 to support 24-bit and 120Mhz DSP audio processing for efficient Bluetooth decoding. You can use the BTR5 2021 for watching videos, playing games or listening to music and be assured of outstanding sound quality.

FPGA CLOCK AND DUAL CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR OFFERING HIGH-FIDELITY AUDIO

FiiO BTR5 2021 comes embedded with a precision FPGA clock and this is responsible for the transmission and reception of Bluetooth and USB digital audio signals as well as clock management. In the BTR5 2021, after the Bluetooth signal is processed through the FPGA, jitter is reduced and signal stability is improved, completely solving the problem of different clock rates between the different components. With the addition of a dedicated FPGA, the 45.1584/49.152MHz dual crystal oscillators can more accurately reproduce audio signals under various sampling rates during Bluetooth and USB decoding.

To offer greater power and detailed resolution, the FiiO BTR5 2021 features both 2.5mm balanced and 3.5mm single-ended outputs. In its balanced audio architecture, each channel is driven separately with its own DAC and amplifier, allowing the BTR5 2021 to bring a purer sound with unmatched finesse and balance. This truly balanced audio architecture extends pure balanced sound. Kindly note that when 3.5mm and 2.5mm outputs are inserted simultaneously only the 3.5mm port will provide sound to ensure that the BTR5 functions normally.
