AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the sound quality of the musical instrument amplifier. They say the sound is spectacular, fuller, and closer to what they hear. They also say the Bluetooth sound is great, plenty loud, and with great dynamics. Some say the LDAC sounds as good as USB, and compressed YouTube music videos sound incredible. The DAC feels well built, and the recorded voice audio in the earphones plays to let you know what the device is doing. Customers also say that the volume control is great and can reach volumes they could not comfortably listen to.

The things I like:
- Wow. That sound. Even over bluetooth. Audio out of any quality pair of headphones just sounds so much bigger; I'd describe the DAC as sounding very honest and mild-mannered.
- Plenty of gain hiding away ready to be unlocked
- Latency is there but isn't bad, gets better over APTXLL
- It's purdy
- 3.5mm jack is very stiff and feels well-made
- Menu interface is intuitive and has good features
- Device asks if you want to turn off charging when connecting to a phone as to not drain the phone's battery
- Intuitive-ish physical buttons
- Charges surprisingly fast
- 384 kHz support over USB 2.0, as well as USB 1.0 support ensuring near-universal compatibility
The things I don't like:
- Bluetooth range is not amazing over LDAC but that's not unusual
- Audio quality dips down while charging from a device that isn't the source device
- You hold volume down to skip forwards and volume up to skip backwards??? I'm used to it now but it's still strange
- Wish it had a gain limiter feature either when starting up or when it receives a really hot signal; my IEMs have definitely rattled my eardrums using this thing
Overall the ultimate daily-driver for audiophiles IMO. Pair it with some decent KZ's and give your friends a call with the FIIO's built-in mic once you've managed to pick your jaw up off the floor.

There are a few things that I don't like about this device. First, there really isn't a manual on how to use or troubleshoot it, in the box. There are forums online, with a quick Google search you can resolve an issues with it. You can adjust the settings on either the BTR5 or by using the app, but it does take a minute to learn how to change them using only the BTR5. Fortunately, you don't really need to change the settings, I have only changed to charging when connected with a cable (to a computer, phone, or mp3 player) and preferring wired connection (even if connected to another device over blutooth you will listen to whichever device the BTR5 is plugged into first. The blutooth strength is not that great, at least with my laptop, but then again I always have a better blutooth connection with my phone no matter what blutooth device I use. These are all small gripes I have that don't affect how I use the device and it doesn't affect sound quality for me; which is why it doesn't take away any points for me.
When it comes to sound quality I do hear a difference. I feel more immersed in the content (music, movies, videos). More specifically, I feel like I am hearing more sounds present. The BTR5 can be used both wired and through blutooth. I don't like having to take off my headphones or move around the cable when moving around or standing up, I can unplug and use it wirelessly when I am moving around and during those sessions that I remain seated for longer I just plug it back in. There is a one-second pause during the transition, but I gives me flexibility of use. Also, being able to connect to two devices simultaneously also allows me to switch from my computer to my phone, and vice versa, without having to pair or re-pair between devices. Lastly, it has good volume, it's louder when connected and it's volume is separate from the device. This means that you can change the volume using your phone, computer, or source of audio and for smaller changes in volume you can adjust it with the BTR5; in my experience I haven't gone past 48% (device) 25% (BTR5) when wired or past 58% (device) 35% (BTR5). You don't notice the changes in audio quality at first, but after a while you do notice the difference without it. I greatly recommend this product, put together with a good quality pair of iems or headphones and you have audiophile-quality sound experience that is better and more affordable than the expensive commercial headphones such as AirPods Max or Bose.
***SUMMARY***
It is a device which delivers excellent audio quality (which you won't notice at first if you are not an audiophile) at an affordable price. It can be used with most headphones and iems, in either wired or wireless mode. It has a few downsides such as not having an included manual, but there aren't many issues that cannot be looked up doing a quick Google search and it doesn't affect the experience. It is very portable and is flexible to any of your listening needs. Even if you pair it with iems or headphones (below $100) the sound quality and overall cost is still cheaper than expensive headphones such the AirPods Max.
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!

También te cuento sus cualidades según mis perspectivas, su firma de sonido está entre cálida y analitica, por un lado disfrutas la música pero sin perder detalles, obviamente depende con que audífonos los uses, pero con todos si sientes la personalidad de este excelente BTR5 y sumado a las cualidades de tus audífonos todo se torna mucho mejor, logrado unos bajos controlados pero de mucha calidad, los medios para mí gusto es lo que más sobresale sumamente resolutivos, y los agudos correctos y bien definidos, en algunos momentos discretamente brillantes, pero nunca te sacan de la experiencia, diría que la firma de sonido de este BTR5 es equibrada
Finalmente, te comento que FIIO cuánta con una app (FIIO CONTROL) que no te recomiendo para nada, es una lástima que tenga muchas funciones la app, perooooo es sumamente inestable, en mi caso no ecualizo, así que no tengo problemas ahí, lo ocupo
desde mi REDMI NOTE 9S toma sin problemas el códec LDAC que está perfecto, (y cableado ufff escala aún más, así que la manera que lo quieras ocupar está más que excelente) te recomiendo que lo emparejes con tu cel y solo ocupes las funciones nativas.
Te lo recomiendo ampliamente
This was useful in that you could use it for Bluetooth streaming across the room, supported many codecs as a receiver, and it is a better external DAC than many others. If your upgrading from an Apple dongle and your budget is tight, then this may be the one for you! Just because I did not like the audio quality doesn’t mean you won’t. A lot of people do love this little guy, and the BTR7 is larger. So if size is a major factor for you, then this might be the one for you!
