True Lossless Bluetooth, Portable Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier BTR17 Is Officially Released!
A new chip era, new era of lossless Bluetooth
The BTR17 is equipped with Qualcomm’s new flagship QCC5181 Bluetooth chip, which not only complies with the Bluetooth LE Audio standard and has transmission bandwidth capacity of 2.1Mbps, but also is capable of lossless quality within the aptX Adaptive system. This means the chip is capable of achieving CD-level lossless sound quality over Bluetooth audio, bringing you ever closer to the music with all of its intricate details.
Additionally, the BTR17 also supports the latest Bluetooth standard – Bluetooth 5.4. It also supports the LDAC, aptX Adaptive 96kHz/24bit, aptX Low Latency Bluetooth audio codecs, which when combined with Snapdragon Sound technology means your Bluetooth listening experience has never sounded this good before.
Patented Desktop Mode, independent power supply
On the BTR17 is a dedicated D.Mode (desktop mode) switch along with a port to connect an external independent power supply. When in desktop mode, if you connect the BTR17 to a phone as a dongle DAC and headphone amplifier you can also choose to connect an external power supply to the BTR17 via its dedicated power port. Doing so means that the BTR17’s battery will be completely powered via USB, which not only avoids overcharging and over-discharging its built-in battery but also means it is capable of powerful audio output, up to 650mW+650mW in balanced out, without consuming the connected phone’s battery.
Dual cores and four channels, dual flagship ES9069Q DACs
Inside the BTR17 are two ESS ES9069Q DACs based on the fourth-generation 32-bit HyperStream architecture, achieving high performance while using less power. This architecture helps to further reduce digital noise within the DAC. The result is a richer, musical sound against a cleaner audio background.
XMOS 16-core XU316, cleverly innovating
The USB chip employed is the flagship XMOS XU316, which boasts lower latency, more stable transmission, and better compatibility than typically used USB controllers. Support for 768kHz/32bit audio, DSD512 native, and MQA full decoding means that the chip can handle almost any audio stream that comes its way.
FIIO engineers have worked constantly to create 10-band high-precision lossless PEQ based on the XU316 platform, which supports up to 192k high-definition PEQ and can be adjusted through the app and web interface. Not only does it allow you to finely adjust EQ frequency points, gain, bandwidth, and Q value to your liking, and simulate or correct the frequency response curve of various headphones, but you can also import, export, share, and save EQ curves, enabling everyone to enjoy the fun of tuning.
For more impressive features, such as the four-way full balanced THX AAA 78+ amps, multi-stage audio architecture, specially processed 8 strands of decoding cable, and matching leatherette case, please visit the product page on our website.
