Hey everyone,

This is a look at the Fiio BTR5: a Bluetooth and USB DAC/amp, portable, one of the smallest out there, and probably the most powerful for its size and class.

Who is it for?

  • Anyone who wants a small DAC/amp that works over Bluetooth or a cable, and can drive even headphones that need power.

Strengths

  • Two DAC chips, and Bluetooth 5.0 with several codecs.
  • It drove my Sennheiser HD 6XX (300 ohm) from the balanced output, and I was very happy with the sound.
  • The app gives you full control: volume, tones, call volume and left/right balance.

Weaknesses

  • I didn’t hear any difference with the filters in the app.
  • Some app options aren’t clear in what they actually do.

Verdict

A small, powerful device for its class, a good fit if you want to upgrade your phone’s sound over Bluetooth or a cable.

Note: this review is from 2021, so price and availability may have changed.
