Snowsky (FiiO) Retro Nano Bluetooth Reciever Measurements

[Jalan]

So if I synthesize :

-Retro Nano has better measures than W3 (even if more power is not needed) ( https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...vices-a-comparative-review.63038/post-2532702 ) (I don't understand good enough measurements so tell me if i m wrong) and removable batteries and that's a very cool feature, especially about product durability and if it is kept on power plugged

-BTR15 could be an alternative, but can someone tell me how are the measures compared to Retro Nano ( https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/some-notes-on-fiio-ka17.61493/page-2#post-2388366 ) ?

-BTR17, TimeEar BTE-9 and Hiby W4 could had better measures (but not the same price range) and do we have measurements ?

-EDIT : There is BTR13 too, but I don't know if we have measures

-EDIT : Qudelix 5K could be a better alternative than BTR15 but I don't know how are the measures compared to Retro Nano ( https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/some-notes-on-fiio-ka17.61493/page-2#post-2388366 ), and I think i'ts discontinued

-Do we have reasonable small alternatives without battery ? (for plugged usage) ?

You mean plugged through USB, with no Bluetooth… aka a dongle?

No, sorry, I mean anything that use bluetooth (exclusively or not) as source but has no battery, for example BEA1, BTA30, BR13... not too big (this three are still quite ok) not too expansive (whatever it means) and with better measures than retro nano.

-Retro Nano has better measures than W3

lets be clear here, no one is claiming that the sound is better, but just the electronic implementation of the system.

Qudelix 5K could be a better alternative than BTR15 but I don't know how are the measures compared to Retro Nano

This is ASR's measurements.

Thank you for your answer.

lets be clear here, no one is claiming that the sound is better, but just the electronic implementation of the system.

There's also the TimeEar BTE-9, Hiby W4 (misleading ads saying you can disable DRE) etc... I figured BT audiophile devices that "measure + sound subjectively good" continue to be niche devices that cost the premium vs a Melody. The RetroNano is already better than the W3 I assume.

So let's say that "measure + sound subjectively good"

This is ASR's measurements.

Thank you for adding the link. So according to Amir Qudelix 5K is as good as it can be for its usage... but as I don't have good understanding of the measures, how do they compare with Retro Nano, W3, BTR15 ?

measure + sound subjectively good

measure: that can be found and discussed here
sound subjectively good: at your own personal risk (aka either you binge user subjective opinions online, read through "promotional text written by a freesample'ed reviewer" or try it yourself to find your own truth in this).

It is all your words and this forum idea, and why I'm here and not on another website...
So if someone can explain to me how compare the measures between Qudelix 5K, Retro Nano, W3 (unbalanced) and BTR15

Please use the search button instead of expecting handouts.
There, I found this for you.

I think I did'nt make me good understand. I'm not an english native speaker and not so good to speak english.

I didn't say that I did'nt understand anything, neither I didn't say that I didn't spent time doing search on this forum (I did...)

But I'm absolutly sure that some people have a huge better understanding and compentences in audio than me.

And I think too that the first idea of a forum is to exchange about thing to collectivly progress in some way.

So I didn't ask anyone specificaly to do anything I can do myself but just present some thoughts about devices what I thought comparable to Retro Nano to help myself and the other that are looking for such device and I think that this thread is not a wrong place to do that.

So all "help" or information that anyone would like to share is for me a good thing but anyone who can not or don't want to answer is free not to do so.

So if I miss something about this forum habits, all apologies...
