Updated added at the end of this review: Only using it for a couple days and it sounds good. My only complaints are that the SQ can be a little grainy at times which I thought could be addressed by the EQ (via app while USB connected to phone, or on the device whilst USB connected to pc/mac) BUT THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. I don't know if this is current firmware, but all EQ and filter options of any sort have ZERO effect while running this unit in DAC mode - they ONLY work if you're connected via Bluetooth and that is the biggest disappointment to me. Also for some reason the digital vol control from the FiiO app on my phone will not work, regardless if it's in USB DAC mode or BT connection. Not sure why but it works fine in Neutron Player as well as streaming apps - with those the vol can still be controlled on the BTR5 directly as well as native phone control. The good stuff has all been covered already in other reviews. Supports every BT codec out there curently and will drive headphones it seems like it shouldn't be able to drive just fine. Tiny, portable and recharges quick. I use it direct as DAC most often on a Windows laptop, and BT connect on the phone (sometimes DAC there too which is a little less useful, app depending as mentioned above) when I'm between out n about. Bought largely because of the car-mode feature for my lady's car (which has no BT) but I've yet to even try it in that application. One application I didn't expect was that i had no idea the Bluesound Node 2i could both BT received AND transmit, e.g. I'm able to connect the Node to the BTR5 via aptHD and walk around the living-room which is pretty awesome - Not the best range and doens't make sense to use it in regular AAC or aptX in the house, but for sitting across the room it's a cool option. All in all a slick little thing. Disappointed and pleased at the same time. I use a DAC with wired headphones most of the time and having quick EQ adjustments was a big part of the (imagined, not possible) appeal - I could use another headphone amp attached to it for quick curve and boost adjustments (with switches), but that's two devices and entirely defeats the portability/simplicity appeal of this thing. So .... we'll see. The SQ out of the DAC is overall good enough but since there are no tone controls within the Qobuz app which I use most I'm stuck with gain-HI and gain-LOW options only. Using Neutron Player gives some EQ adjustment which is fine, but I don't use that very often. Really would have liked to have known some of these limitations ahead of time (not even in the fine print that I've seen, or in the demo video from FiiO), but overall most people will be pleased with this thing. _______________________________________ Update after a couple weeks - I replaced this with the Shanling UP4 and am much happier with it overall. Since it applies as to "why" I'm just going to include my UP4 review here for context rather than rehash it. Shanling UP4 compare and contrast: For starters, I updated my firmware to ver 1.1 from Shanling immediately and all this review is based on that version of the device. Further context: I used the FiiO BTR5 for about 2 or 3 weeks prior nearly continuously and during that time I kept wondering if I should have tried this Shanling UP4 instead, which is essentially the same type of device, e.g. a Bluetooth Receiver and USB DAC and Amp combo. Finally I ordered one (apparently the last one on Amazon at the regular $99 price - the only ones left have been drastically marked up; the BTR5 is suffering the same availability/price-gouging issue) so that I could put it to the test. There is a ton of info extolling the virtues of the BTR5, but very little on the UP4. In a nutshell, I found the BTR5 to be very fiddly in day-to-day usage: the volume control is a pain; the OLED isn't nearly as useful as it ought to be, and menu system is convoluted and unintuitive. I won't even go into the FiiO - it's awful in my opinion and I eventually uninstalled it. None of this is to say that the FiiO didn't sound good - it very much did. My only complaint was the highs could sometimes come across as overexentuated and a bit grainy, but that is an exaggerated complaint - it generally sounds fantastic. I only mention the above, some things I didn't specifically like about the BTR5 (rather than the things I did) to contrast with the Shanling UP4. With the UP4 the volume control dial is quick, nicely detented and super easy to use. Track forward/backward with a double or triple-tap (respectively) of the same dial (which is also a button) is awesome. You use that same button with long-press to power on/off and affect pairing modes for Bluetooth. Switching quickly between gain modes (low/high and boost in 3.5mm unbalanced output) and filters is equally quick and easy using double-press or long-press of the top button. The LED light on the front is responsive and depending what you're doing quickly tells you what's happening (based on color/flashes) and it doesn't take long to figure it out. More, there is recorded voice audio in the earphones that plays to let you know what the device is doing at key times, e.g. it speaks to you saying things like "Powering off", or "Your device is now connected"; this is much more useful and ensuring than varied beeps or tones. In terms of Bluetooth connectivity, for whatever reason, the UP4 gave me fewer dropouts (using AAC, AptX and AptX-HD in my case - I do not have any LDAC capable source devices) and greater range by a noticeable margin in both respects. USB DAC use is easy as pie - no manual driver installs were needed in Windows and the UP4 is detected immediately and set it up in about 20 seconds. Playback as a DAC device is fantastic (as is the BTR5, except you cannot change filter settings in this mode with the BTR5; with the UP4 you still can) and in both modes, DAC and Bluetooth, the UP4 sounds fantastic - the differences between the two devices are incredibly subtle, but I would say the UP4 is rounder, warmer, has more low-end definition and the highs are not as elevated while still nicely detailed (not to say the UP4 sounds "warm", only slightly moreso than comparatively to the BTR5 - again, the differences are subtle). Some have mentioned hearing distortion in lower frequencies from the UP4 - I have never heard anything like that in any of my uses. The only other short-coming of the UP4 is it seems unable to be used a USB DAC for mobile devices; my Android phone did not detect it to be used for audio output. This doesn't concern me though because my LG phone has a perfectly capable DAC. If this application is important to you, at least at this time, the FiiO would be a better choice since it can act as USB mobile DAC (though in my experience that was also finicky and a pain in the butt at times as well for reasons I won't go into). USB DAC use fo the UP4 on a computer is flawless. In short, the UP4 sounds great, has a longer battery life, fewer BT dropouts, has a bit more pleasing sound to me (that is entirely subjective - plenty would disagree), it is smaller and lighter, and it's physical controls are both easier and more intuitive. Generally I would say the *only* things I miss about the BTR5 are its better clip/case and the OLED that displays the current audio source's bit-depth and frequency (which is really the only thing I found useful that the OLED did), but other than that the UP4 has just been a better experience. SQ is remarkably similar between the two, so it's really just down to usability experience and the Shanling won me over in just a couple days. The FiiO went back. Further context: I used the UP4 to drive 4 sets of IEMs (UE Super.Fi 5Pro single-ended, UE Triple.Fi 10 balanced, Blon Bl-03 balanced, and KZ ED9 single-ended) and one pair of headphones (Sony MDR-7506). For the latter I sometimes send the UP4 output to a small portable headphone amp to give even more driving power and quick bass-boost options (though it drives the Sonys just fine without it overall). I listen to a giant range of music: rock, indie, electronic, acoustic, jazz.

I may not be an audiophile or anything, but the btr5 is a pretty useful little nugget. The controls, once you get used to them, are quite nice (not to mention the separate volume control, thank youuu) and the fact it works perfectly fine as both a usb and bluetooth DAC is really useful for me, considering I use it for both my typical audio device for streaming and my travel receiver. One issue Ive noticed tho that's spoiled my fun a bit, even if you set it to charge over usb, using it as a usb DAC on every device I've tried will eventually cause the batteries to drain if I don't turn it off and give it time to charge. it's not the end of the world or anything, but having the screen flicker and glitch out like crazy and the audio cut out suddenly while on a call with my gf isn't very fun. Also, do *not* plug it into a windows device without getting the drivers first. it freaked out and just decided to disable *all* audio devices until I unplugged it. maybe that's not a huge issue, but it certainly surprised me when I did that on stream- overall though I absolutely recommend this thing, I may not be the biggest audio nerd in the world but I can tell it's quite the amazing device. also the clip it comes with? I can't overstate how useful it is, either for being on the go or clipping it onto my mic stand ^-^

In general, I've been a fan of FiiO audio gear ever since I first got into higher end headphones, and prior to getting the BTR5, I had been daily swapping between a FiiO BTR3, and a much cheaper "Konecta Soundwhiz" bluetooth receiver. I am not a fan of being tethered to my desk, so I would just kinda use one of them until it died, and then I'd swap it out for the other. I was using these to drive my pair of Sennheiser/Massdrop HD 58X most of the time, and occasionally my Monoprice M1060's, and while there was a subtle improvement in terms of clarity on the BTR3 compared to the Konecta, the difference was very slight, and it ended up not really being a meaningful improvement. On top of that, the cheaper Konecta receiver also clearly was able to output at a higher max volume, which furthered my very lukewarm general opinion of the BTR3. It's a fine product, but battery life was pretty dismal on big cans, and in general, I have found that there are cheaper products out there that perform nearly identically. So when I saw Z Reviews' video on the BTR5, I was immediately interested. FiiO really seemed to understand all of the small things about the BTR3 that were holding it back from being truly excellent. And now, after over a month of use, I can say without any reservations that the BTR5 is the best execution of this type of product I have ever used, by a wide margin as well. The BTR5 has a very noticeable larger battery, giving me what feels like nearly double the battery life of the BTR3, and all the while, it is doing it while being able to output at significantly higher levels of power and clarity. I also have an xDuoo XP-2 BT receiver/dac/amp, which is a significantly larger device than any of the FiiO's, and yet the BTR5 in my opinion sounds cleaner and also somehow can push up to virtually the same high output levels as the xDuoo, all without sounding muddy or underpowered. Seriously, if you're looking at other options that are bigger and heavier than you think you would actually like, don't sleep on the BTR5, the hype is real, this thing sounds so good, and has so much power, I find myself using none of my other BT receivers anymore. The balance of size, features, and performance in this thing is about as ideal as I could imagine it ever being. Do I still find myself wishing it had more battery life? Sure, but that's an unavoidable aspect of something like a BT receiver. I use this thing literally all day long sometimes, and when it is getting low, I can just plug it in to any USB-C charger, whether that's a phone charger plugged into a wall socket, or a battery bank, and it seamlessly will continue to crank out the audio without any downtime whatsoever. Thankfully, as with the BTR3's, the BTR5 doesn't have to reboot itself or anything when you plug it into power, so you really can use it for any arbitrary stretch of hours or days, as long as you're able to plug it into power for something like 30-60 mins, 2-3 times per day. All of this is great, but to me, the most impressive thing about the BTR5 really is the massive output power and truly excellent and clear audio you get out of it. As I mentioned above, with the BTR3, I typically wasn't using it with my M1060's, as it just kinda felt underpowered and not ideal. This is not the case with the BTR5, for multiple hours each day I have been driving my M1060's with this little BT receiver, and it really is shockingly close to the wired experience in terms of the audio. My desktop setup is a DAART Canary ESS9018K2M XMOS DSD DAC fed via S/PDIF, line out feeding a Syba Sonic SD-DAC63106, pre amp out of that ultimately feeding a Micca Bluetooth transmitter, which is what my BTR5 connects to. All that being said, let me just say, being able to adjust the audio levels of my M1060's via the analog knobs on my Syba amp without being tethered to my desk is just one of those things you'll probably only find satisfying if you're really really into your audio gear, but for me, as a pragmatic and obsessive audio indulger, it's one of those experiences that never truly felt complete until I got the BTR5 as the final link in my audio chain. TLDR: I love this thing, and will instantly buy another one if I ever lose it, highly recommended!
