FiiO BTR15 Portable Hi-Res Bluetooth DAC and Amplifier
The legend, evolved. The FiiO BTR15 takes everything you loved about the best-selling BTR5 and elevates it to a new level. Featuring a lighter, more ergonomic curved glass body and a massive power upgrade, the BTR15 is the ultimate pocket companion for audiophiles who demand studio-quality sound from their smartphones and laptops.
Powerful Core, Curved Design
Dual ESS ES9219MQ DACs
Experience clarity like never before. The BTR15 employs two high-performance ESS ES9219MQ DAC chips. These chips work in tandem to decode high-resolution audio with remarkably low distortion, supporting MQA decoding and delivering a lush, detailed sound signature.
Hot-Bent 3D Glass Body
Inspired by the flagship BTR7, the BTR15 features hot-bent 3D curved glass on both the front and back, seamlessly meeting the aluminum alloy frame. This makes it lighter (only 37.3g) and more comfortable to hold than its predecessor, while the 0.96-inch OLED display provides clear visibility of all your settings.
Versatility Redefined
Patented PC / BT / PHONE Switch
Switching modes has never been easier. The BTR15 features a dedicated three-position toggle switch:
-
PC Mode: Powered via USB, perfect for use as a laptop DAC.
-
BT Mode: Runs on battery for wireless Bluetooth freedom.
-
PHONE Mode: Uses the internal battery to power the DAC while connected via USB-C to your phone, preventing it from draining your smartphone's battery.
Global Parametric EQ (PEQ)
Take full control of your sound. Unlike standard EQs, the BTR15’s Global PEQ works across all operating modes (including Bluetooth and USB). Through the proprietary DSP algorithm, you can fine-tune specific frequencies to match your headphones perfectly without sacrificing audio quality.
