New Fiio BR15

[RScheckmate]

1. I read somewhere the BR15 has less RGB colour options than than K13, what colours are available in the BR15
2. What can the screen on the BR15 display that the K13 cannot?

1) colours surrounding front two dials are "follow audio" , red, blue, green, cyan, purple, yellow, white, cycle

2) the bigger multiline display (vs the K13) is very nice and has three theme settings (amber, white, blue) .
the BR15 displays such items as album ,artist , bit rate, menus etc ...i understand will also stream lyrics using fioo app and bluetooth.

the very top line is always there showing EQ sate , stream info ( like bluetooth codec, pcm or dsd bitrate etc) and volume.
below that can be 2 large bitrate and incoming fromat lines, or 3 small additional track/artist/album lines or 3 menu lines . menu can timeout (adjustable) to black or stay on or be turned off manually.

as others said, on a desktop the smaller multiline is fine . if in a system further away the input mode display is reasonable at distance to see

i'd say see some of the few videos posted online if interested

Hi.

I asked FiiO if they have planned to offer their customers (who have bought this FiiO BR15 R2R DAC) a 5 Volt DC linear power supply with the same box format as we could see on one of the advertisements for their K13 R2R ->

I know that there is a 12 Volt DC power supply sold under the brand name 'Audio Jade' but I told them that the format was not identical to the K13 R2R and the BR15 R2R and that aesthetically it seemed less 'suitable': I am waiting for their answer.

In the meantime, I use a power supply with the 'STUDER 900' diagram which is excellent, more or less the same model as this one ->

For information, with the BR15 R2R DAC, when using an external linear power supply, it is advisable not to leave the power cable connected at the same time as indicated in the documentation.

In addition, with the external power supply, the on/off button no longer has any influence on the device, only the button on the front allows the on/off function (or the remote control, of course).

My next post should interest you even more

Doing the lord's work for us I've also seen the advertisements with that identical looking Fiio power supply. Hopefully it will become a real product for us.

People hi

Here is my next post that will surely interest you...

First of all, I think it's important to remember that this FIIO BR15 R2R DAC is available for only about 200 euros, which is important for what I'm going to say next.

I would like to salute FIIO who has been able to offer such a complete device, with a great 'SQ', a level of R&D that has made it possible to achieve a finished, complete device, which works perfectly (including its FIRWAREand all its features), with a high level of technicality fully mastered, very well implemented and for such a low price.

It's totally exceptional !

In order to 'concretize' my words, I propose you to discover a preview on ASR of the PCB of this device: I have only put the front and back images of the PCB but I have several detailed photos of the 'interesting' components.

They will allow technicians to validate the entire technical description of this DAC presented in the manufacturer's presentation pages

Warning: do not try to disassemble your device as I did at the risk of losing your warranty and especially if you do not have experience for it.
This device is very delicate to disassemble, has internal connectors connected to each other by tiny cables that are extremely fragile if mishandled, as well as very precise adjustments and 'ground' connections that must be replaced perfectly.

Bottom view of the PCB ->

Top view of the PCB ->

There is so much to say technically about the various technical solutions used that I don't know where to start. It's remarkable: bravo FIIO !!!

NB: don't forget my request for a firmware including the French language in the menu and also that the display offers the same colors as those available for the buttons on the front, you are no longer close to that and it must be child's play for technicians such as you

PS: above all don't ask TOPPING for advice, LOL

Hi.

Today I add to you that Some additional more detailed photos of the PCB ->

Connectors for volume button and RGB LEDs

Connectors for LCD screen and button on the front panel

Connectors for Menu button and its RGB LEDs

Power supply part seen from below

Power supply part seen from above (with the XMOS XU316 chip is located just to its right)

Soldering BT antenna ground

(You'll notice the quality of the manual soldering here on the Bluetooth antenna wire)

 

[ICIETDIYEUR]

... not really very interesting at the moment

So here are some more ->

QUALCOMM QCC5181 (BT chip)

ESP32-S3 (Wireless transmission management processor)

Microcontroller ship

CT7302SL (chip dual channel audio digital to digital bridge with sample rate converter)

GW1NZ-LV1 (FGPA chip)

 

[ICIETDIYEUR]

Damn, it seems like I forgot the most interesting part: the DAC part and its audio output circuitry

Okay, I'll put them here

NJW1195A (4 channel electronic volume chip)

R2R DAC and audio output circuit (4 x TI OPA1642A JFET OP AMP)

De-symmetric chips and 2 x TI OPA1642A OP AMP for RCA outputs

NB: I won't explain how all this works because, of course, I don't know and understand anything, LOL

В Щатите ли си? Може би ще се заинтересувno

No sir into a EU but today cet device from delivery, test it and say results
BR 15 R2R vs SMSL D6s my pow
Fiio mave really more power to low frequency this is a absolutely !
neutral sound
D6s have more well expressed " Hight "
this item not have noise floor

today 1.20.26 i all day testing vs D6s
one song one position one connection /usb and BT /:
D6s give to audio listener the "audio performer" is closer to you which leads to expressiveness and clarity but BT to Fiio is a Better ldac vs ldac

Hi
Will you be so kind to explain how is your setup?
I guess it is; speakers - amplifier - FIIO BR15 (as receiver) - air link connected to your laptop, is it ok?
Thanks.

Is the fiio br15 hid compliant through the usband you can pause and play the media from computer.

Здравей
Ще бъдете ли така добри да обясните как е настроена вашата система?
Предполагам, че е така; високоговорители - усилвател - FIIO BR15 (като приемник) - въздушна връзка, свързани към лаптопа ви, добре ли е?
Благодаря.

ibasso DX 180 >BR 15 >amp> sound / the sound is too neutral I would say POOR /
today i buy WIIM ultra and be a TEST fiio >wiim>amp > sound
to a BT ... i have more BT recivers /QCC 5124 /5125 QCC3081 CSR86xx
this FIIO is the best I've ever heard in BT .... but TO not have punch as CABLE integracion
if you listen to BT mode i recommended this but only BT ... )

UPDATE !!!!
i have problem to OPTICAL OUT /not work test to 3 dif. toslink cables .

MCV V106 firm !
