I got Fiio BTR15 the other day having issues with Iphone 15 pro max + Tidal MQA files. For some reason it will just stop playing as if it will stop. I tried every setting but no go.
I updated the software to 3.5 and there's this "BYPASS" setting on EQ. Not it's working fine. MQA is not being played with no issue.
However, I don't have the audiophile ears and cant really tell the difference between expensive DACS vs apple dongle. I tried different dacs from cheap to expensive but all I can say is the advantage is more on features and convenience like volume control, EQ, gain, etc.. but not much on sound. Yes it improves " a bit " here and there" but cant justify spending more cash. Hahaha.
