how does it compare with BTR7? for me the BTR7 is quite an amazing device in terms of sound performance, so I think I won't need the BRT15, but I'd be happy to see smaller and cheaper devices reaching a similar level of quality - thanks for the video !

You should get another BTR for the "♾️ BTR mode". 😂

I did a brief comparison in the video. In short, BTR15 is close to BTR7, but latter is still better due to more advanced amp. I think we'll see BTR17 in some not distant future

According to the website, the BTR 15 delivers 340 MW of power where the BTR 7 delivers 320. How can the amplification be better in the BTR 7?

Nicely Done. Quick question about bluetooth connectivity. I want to watch late night movies via the tv that has bluetooth AptX. Does this btr15 able to connect to any tv via bluetooth and transmit AptX with a wired iem connected to the BTR15 ? Thanks.
@PortaFi 19 күн бұрын
BTR15 can't transmit, it can receive. But if the TV has Bluetooth, it should work, you connect BTR15 to the TV, TV transmits, BTR15 receives

Only you can connect BTR15 not to smartphone but to FIIO m17 that costs more than 15 times.

I won't say that there is a big difference in sound to make choice based on that. KA13 is slightly better, but in this case it's safe to choice based on your requiremets. Because both models have pros and cons in terms of usage

I wonder if this device supports Apple's ALAC codec, I don't see it included in the codec settings

ALAC is not used as a Bluetooth codec. It's a codec used for file compression.

@@PortaFi but, that means that I can use Apple Music on my iPhone to reproduce lossless songs (24bits/192kHz) with the Bluetooth and by cable, with the BTR15 added using AAC codec? Or how it works in this case to reproduce lossless music on iPhone? Thanks for your response
@PortaFi 6 ай бұрын
No, that doesn't mean that. First, we need to distinguish Bluetooth codecs and codecs used for files. AAC is used for both, while ALAC (or FLAC, WMA, etc.) used for files only. Bluetooth codecs are unpacked on the device side, so it need support for particular codecs to use them. While in case of file codec, it will be unpacked by source's (telephone's) processor and then transmitted to BTR15 as PCM signal over USB or will be packed by Bluetooth chip to one of Bluetooth codecs to transmit wirelessly. So, BTR15 will support any file codec that iPhone can understand. In case of USB connection it will be transferred as is without quality loss. In case of BT there will be some loss

I hate this update. They should have just ditched the design. Even though it's smallest in its category. The battery will get puffed up in a year or two if you use it daily with balanced (max a year & half). & once it does you'll have to solder a new battery as it's not even using a plug & glue those glass panels if they aren't already cracked. Better go for slightly larger devices with much bigger battery size even if on paper their battery life is same. For example muze m4. Also hate the single type c especially as fiio can't design a ui that works as charging will be turned off automatically when it's on & to turn charging on you'll have to try your luck with double pressing the side button to get into settings. 😂
