Even in BT mode it gets VERY close to a good DAP!

Suffice to say, we did our homework on BT in our devices :wink:

But it's great to read that community members appreciate it, so thanks a lot!

Just updated to firmware 1.8, and unless I lower pregain a lot, there is a lot of distortion that was not here yesterday...
Using balanced output with Audeze Sine.
Very big degradation of sound quality, I saw already another post on that elsewhere.
Hope they fix it soon, or allow to roll back firmware?
No"another level of improvement over the sound" for me :frowning2:

I don't like new firmware either... I reset the device and it seemed to help but still sounds off.

I can't figure out how to find 1.7.2 again. Which is where I started. Is it ok to roll back with windows ?

Hi all

I already have the BTR3 and use it as a USB DAC and BT receiver. It's used on either Windows 10 or Android. I drive either a Grado SR80e or an Audiosense T800. My biggest gripe with the BTR3 is the Fiio app and the microphone quality.

Would the Qudelix-5K be much of an improvement over the BTR3?

Cheers

Can’t do if you don’t have a windows machine, and only 1.7 is available
They found a bug in firmware 1.8.0 on the balanced output. They are releasing a fix tomorrow
The unbalanced output is unchanged, sound should be no different than before

Cool. Thanks. Will hold off on any FW upgrades!

On another thought, does anyone know if the folks at Qudelix are going to be coming out with a new model this year?
