FiiO BTA30 PRO Transmitter Receiver Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Long Range for PC/TV/Speaker/Headphone

Doet wat is verwacht. Een goede DAC zodat het geluid redelijk goed klinkt. Hadden van mij nog iets meer aansluitingen op gemogen.

Lo que hace por el precio es una ganga. Lo uso sólo en modo RX para convertir de bluetooth a RCA para emparejar el celular y escuchar en el amplificador mediante cable RCA. Conectado con LDAC. El sonido es muy limpio, detallado y nítido; no tiende para nada hacia un sonido cálido, diría yo que se mantiene neutro sin añadir tono o, si a caso, un poco sintético. No me gustan los DACs muy cálidos por lo que para mi éste es excelente. Seguramente lo anterior es resultado del chip sabre ess9038. El control de volumen hay que dejarlo en casi todo para que despliegue bien todos los sonidos y, sobre todo, los sonidos bajos, por lo que para usar la perilla de volumen de este DAC para mi no es opción. Encantado con escucharlo por horas. En cuanto a Bluetooth se conecta con Android con LDAC y se escucha muy bien por ello; tiene buen alcance.

Llevo utilizando el FiiO BTA30 durante más de un año y puedo decir con confianza que ha sido una de las mejores adquisiciones para mi equipo de sonido. Este dispositivo ofrece una calidad de audio excepcional, tanto en modo receptor como transmisor, gracias a su compatibilidad con códecs de alta resolución como LDAC y aptX HD. La conexión es estable y tiene un alcance impresionante, permitiéndome disfrutar de música sin interrupciones en toda la casa. El diseño es elegante y compacto, con una construcción robusta que le da un toque premium. Los controles son intuitivos y fáciles de usar, y la posibilidad de conectar múltiples dispositivos simultáneamente ha sido una característica muy conveniente. En resumen, el FiiO BTA30 ha superado mis expectativas en todos los aspectos. Si buscas mejorar la calidad de tu audio inalámbrico y darle nueva vida a tus equipos de sonido antiguos, este dispositivo es una opción altamente recomendable. Por ponerle una pega, para encenderlo basta con pulsar el boton 1 vez, pero para apagarlo, necesitas mantener el boton pulsado unos segundos. Me hubiera gustado un interruptor en vez de 1 pulsador.

I love this thing. Does the job. Sounds good enough to me. Its my first time. I wouldn't know any better. Maybe if I had a few more dacs I would hone my skill. Much like with the ladies eh eh. ;)

First off, I don't write a lot of product reviews, but I felt compelled to write this one because I think this little device is going to make you happy if it's even under consideration for you. Why so? Well, you're reading this, which means you care enough about sound quality that you're not satisfied with what's coming out of your device's 3.5mm headphone jack, and/or you're looking for a bluetooth audio receiver that's not a $30 piece of garbage (I tried one, then decided to up my budget a bit :) But you probably also don’t have such a high-end system that you're looking for a $500+ DAC or bluetooth receiver. If this sounds like you, I really think your search ends here. I’m an audio geek on a budget, with a stereo that cost me less than $1k for the receiver and speakers combined. That being said, both are very decent for their price point, and I know them to be able to provide engaging, immersive, spacious sound from stereo content… provided it’s coming from a CD player. For most of the last 20 years I've been lamenting subpar compressed music files and streaming services which, on my system, always sounded flat, narrow, and disappointing. My system includes an EQ which I like to use for music, so I try to feed it analog sources that allow that EQ to be part of the loop. For years I’ve tried phone or laptop headphone jacks, and over the years I’ve upped the ante twice, buying an Onkyo and a Creative “external USB sound card” (each was essentially an external DAC with proper RCA left and right outputs). Both processors generated a sound quality from my computer’s USB output that, to my ears, was nowhere near CD quality. Admittedly both were from 10+ years ago, after which time I gave up on the idea of truly good sound coming from my computer or phone. I’d play a file through the old Onkyo or Creative, then play a CD of the same song, and the difference was night-and-day, even as recently as the last few years (when the bitrate/quality of my source digital files was getting pretty decent). That all changed when I got this FiiO BTA30 PRO. Seriously, the DAC in this thing is no joke—playing 256 Kbps AAC files from iTunes (USB into the FiiO from my laptop, left & right RCA analog audio cables out of the FiiO to my stereo), I would absolutely say the quality was equal to CD quality through my same system. If someone said they’d spent $100 on this thing as a standalone DAC, I’d have no concerns, but THAT’S NOT EVEN WHAT I BOUGHT IT FOR. I bought it to see if it was possible to have true bluetooth-streamed audio from my phone that was worth a darn in terms of sound quality on my stereo. I didn’t even use an audio-quality-focused streaming service like Tidal—I just opened Spotify Premium (whose claimed sound quality has admittedly been climbing), paired the FiiO with my Samsung Galaxy S21 as a bluetooth audio source, hooked the FiiO to my stereo with RCA analog audio cables, and tried it out. Even through Bluetooth, it was the best thing I’ve heard this side of a CD, and when played back to back with a CD of the same song, I couldn’t give the nod decisively to one or the other. So basically I’m saying this is an amazing bluetooth receiver AND an amazing DAC. At the $120 I paid for it, I’m literally debating buying another, just in case I need a second one down the road & in a few years they don’t make this thing anymore. The one thing I haven’t tried is its bluetooth transmitter, so I can’t comment on quality there, but I have no reason to doubt it. Also, its build quality is nice—all sides but the bottom are metal, the controls feel good, RCA jacks are gold-plated and connectors fit solidly, and optical jacks include (removable) covers. As for complaints, they’re very minor: ---If you’re excited about the volume control on this & thinking it’s going to give you a powerful (“loud”) output from the analog outputs, know that the max level is decent but probably not what I’d call loud. To be clear I’m happy with the level of the analog outputs and would say it’s basically identical to that of the two CD players I have with analog outputs. Just know that if you’re using the FiiO’s analog outputs, I’m betting you’re going to turn the volume knob to “Max” once, and leave it there forever. ---FiiO’s support materials seem lacking—both the booklet & online directions seem to have been written in another language & Google-translated to English later, and I found it hard to find valuable troubleshooting guidance. That said, the device is pretty much plug & play—just remember to turn the FiiO’s volume knob to Max right out of the box (mine was pretty low & therefore I thought music wasn’t playing when it actually was—spent an embarrassingly long time figuring that out :) ---The app seems forgettable—try it & see if you like it. I love the FiiO, but I’ll never be using the app again. ---Control/input/indicator labels are tiny (probably not an issue unless you have poor eyesight like me). I should note that before this device I tried a Harman Kardon BTA-10 Bluetooth receiver. Its analog-output sound quality was quite decent, and it is truly tiny (check the dimensions—it’s less than half the size of this pretty-small FiiO). The deal breaker for me was that its analog output “loudness” was quite low, forcing my stereo’s volume to be turned very high (not great on an analog system). The FiiO has at least equal if not superior Bluetooth sound, generates a considerably louder (& adjustable) analog signal, and acts as a DAC for a wired USB input. Given all that, the $50 step-up from the Harman Kardon BTA-10 to the FiiO BTA30 PRO was a no-brainer for me. And there you have it. Given Amazon’s return policy, I’d definitely at least give it a try—I’m thrilled with mine.
