FiiO BTA30 PRO Bluetooth 5.0 Receiver/Transmitter CSR8675 DAC ES9038Q2M aptX-HD LDAC 32bit 384kHz
FiiO BTA30 PRO - Bluetooth 5.0 Receiver / Transmitter CSR8675 DAC ES9038Q2M aptX-HD LDAC 32bit 384Hz
FiiO's BTA30 comes back in a Pro version, taking all the features of its big brother with an updated DAC chip. Both a Bluetooth receiver and transmitter, this one is now equipped with an ESS ES9038Q2M digital to analog converter. Always as versatile and efficient, this one is still equipped with a complete connectivity and a control application, associated with excellent performances in terms of sound restitution.
3 Operating modes
The BTA30 Pro offers 3 distinct operating modes: Bluetooth reception (BT Rx), Bluetooth transmission (BT Tx) and DAC. The selection is done simply by pressing a button on the front of the device. The embedded Bluetooth chip also supports high-resolution codecs such as aptX-HD and LDAC.
A complete connectivity
Although compact, the BTA30 Pro is equipped with a complete connectivity. It has Bluetooth 5.0, Toslink optical, Coaxial and USB-C as inputs. On the output side, the device offers Bluetooth, optical, coaxial and a stereo RCA line output.
*The USB-C connector provides both data transmission and power to the device.
CSR8675 Bluetooth chip
The Bluetooth reception and transmission of the BTA30 Pro are enabled by a Qualcomm CsR8675 Bluetooth chip. It supports a transmission up to 24bit 96kHz (depending on the codec used).
ES9038Q2M DAC
The BTA30 Pro is now equipped with an ESS ES9038Q2M digital to analog conversion chip. The latter offers excellent performance for a rich, precise and transparent sound reproduction. The DAC is also combined with film capacitors for an even more pure and neutral sound.
XMOS USB Interface
The USB-C input of the BTA30 Pro is associated with a particularly efficient XMOS interface. It allows the support of high sampling rates, up to PCM 32bit 384kHz and DSD256.
Volume control
The BTA30 Pro incorporates a high-level volume control. It allows for precise adjustment of the sound level through ADC curve reconstruction. It affects the volume of both the digital and RCA outputs, and can be controlled remotely via the mobile app.
Control app
Your smartphone, when connected to the BTA30 Pro, can control the latter via the FiiO Music or FiiO Control application. This allows you to adjust the balance, filters, Bluetooth format priority, disable the LEDs, adjust the volume level or activate a fixed output level.
