FiiO BTR15 Overview
Experience outstanding audio quality on the go with the blue FiiO BTR15, a portable Bluetooth DAC and headphone amplifier that features dual integrated DACs that deliver a refined, detailed, and articulate listening experience, even when listening to music over Bluetooth. At the heart of the BTR15 is the dual ES9219MQ DAC chips, which handle sample rates and resolutions up to 384 kHz / 32-bit. This DAC is housed alongside the Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth chip to provide support for Bluetooth 5.1, as well as Bluetooth aptX and SBC.
The enclosure is crafted from hot-bent curved glass on the front and back with an aluminum alloy middle frame, which provides ample protection, as well as a space-age 3D aesthetic that not only looks great, but is easy to handle. The built-in rechargeable battery lasts for up to eight hours, ensuring you can listen to music wirelessly for a long time.
