@@WindargRx It seems that the HD 4.40 BT should work with any audio device featuring a 3.5 mm audio jack, which would include the FiiO BTR3. When the included audio cable is plugged in, then all wireless features are automatically deactivated and they should work like wired headphones. The impedance is also fairly low, so you shouldn't have any trouble amplifying the volume from the BTR3.

i had to unlock 'developer options' on my galaxy s8 (there are youtube vids on how to do this) in order to choose ldac and other codecs. i'm restoring an old 69 camaro, and i have pretty good stereo equipment in the car but the receiver only accepts sbc and aac. i'm curious to try this thing via aux input using ldac to stream the full 24bit files off my hd walkman... i'm dying to know how much better it would sound because using the sbc is not stellar...

I'd suggest looking for a USB cable, so you can directly transmit the PCM data to the amplifier.

Been using Sony SBH-20 & 50s for years now. I'm sure the Fiio sounds better, as I have a couple of their headphone amps, but with the Sonys I can talk with no problems using it's built in mic with my Shure SE215 earbuds while riding a bicycle at 20mph, let alone just around the house with my other headphones too. Have a couple of MEE audio - BTR Portable Bluetooth receivers too that I use when I'm nervous about rain or in a situation like working on the car, where the Sonys might get messed up, and they communication well also. Given Fiio's rep, I wonder if you just received one with a subpar mic?

I have a cheap smartphone with a ton of 128/192 kbps mp3s and a soundcore q30. Would a fiio would improve my quality of the music or would be a waste of money? Thanks

Your music's encoding has no influence on what codec is chosen for Bluetooth transmission. Everything will be decoded and re-encoded anyway. If you're using an iPhone it will probably default to AAC for Bluetooth and give you excellent transmission quality. What's really preventing you from hearing what your BTR3 and headphones are capable of with your setup is that 128 kbps MP3 quality of your files. Try getting the same music as 256-320 kbps MP3s or M4A/AAC and you should hear a big improvement just from that. (For example if you buy from Amazon Music they will be 256 kbps MP3s or from Google Play they will be 320 kbps MP3s.)

I have a Sony xz2 which supports a truck load of codecs, LDAC being one of them, for me LDAC is very bright sounding ... too bright infact, so much so that i manually changed it to aptx HD and it turned this device around for me, so, if you have a Sony phone unlock your developer options and change it to aptx HD, if you dont you will find that the preset in the phone is to connect to the best codec as does the Fiio, because of this it will connect to LDAC everytime, so if you have this device dont think its crap because its very bright sounding, just change the preset setting to a different codec....... great device and im glad i bought it for sure.

As stated in the review: "The 300 mAh battery in the BTR3 takes 1.5 hours to charge and allows for 11 hours of playback"

Sorry to tell you this but Bluetooth does not know the difference between one codec and another codec. It is the audio/video that requires the correct codec to send to the Bluetooth receiver.

Obviously. Bluetooth is a communications protocol; what's sent across that protocol can be different based on the capabilities of the transmitter and receiver.

@@AskDaveTaylor I'm 100% more likely to buy this by your review than anything said on Amazon. Watching a review means you get to know not only the product but the person reviewing it. That way you can tell if they have a single clue about the product and a much better chance to see if they are honest abut it too

GOOD REVIEW, BUT THIS DEVICE NO HAVE BALANCED OUTPUT, SALUDOS

Yes, but... but every device you'd plug in has some sort of balance control so why duplicate the feature in the FIIO amp?

I think aptX low latency is better suited to your use case.

Important to know!! The eq doesn't work with LDAC.

Yes it does. In fact, the very first sentence on FiiO's Web site for this product states "The BTR3 is the first Bluetooth amplifier in the world to support all current wireless audio codecs - such as AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX Low Latency, aptX HD, LDAC, LHDC and HWA." Immediately below that is a parade of logos including the LDAC logo. Check your facts before you post, please!

@@AskDaveTaylor Check your facts. I own that thing brother. I was trying to find on FiiO forums why I can't use the eq and than I found out that it doesn't work on LDAC and on the usb dac mode. I wen to the FiiO control app, disabled LDAC and the eq works. I own the BTR3K. This isn't a BTR3K vid? Ups. But that's an upgrade of the BTR3. It should work...

Very interesting. I'll reach out to FiiO and ask them what's going on. What audio source are you using and how do you know for sure that it's pushing out an LDAC signal?

@@AskDaveTaylor I'm using tidal and apple music. I know it's LDAC because the app is telling me it's LDAC. when I disable LDAC the eq works on both streaming devices. However if I plug the BTR3K to the computer via USB, the eq works and I also use tidal there. It's a bluetooth issue most likely. I also hate the fact that there's no desktop (as far as I know) version of the FiiO control app, so I have to be connected through phone via bluetooth all the time with the BTR3K to do stuff in the app. Very inconvenient. P.S. I'd like to ask something. When I connect it via bluetooth there's hissing sound coming from my headphones. I suppose it's the bluetooth signal bleeding into the music. I haven't heard anyone talking about this under BTR3/5/3K videos. Do I have a bad unit or is this something that every bluetooth amp does?

Oh, I've just checked just to make sure and it does that hissing even without the bluetooth connection. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. IDK.

@@AskDaveTaylor simple. A codec is a program on the computer/media device that compresses/decompresses (aka codec) the media. Bluetooth has nothing to do with that process means it will play any and all audio no matter which version of Bluetooth is being utilized. If your media device does not handle the codec it will not play the music
