BTR17 - Portable Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier

The FiiO BTR17 is a high-end portable Bluetooth DAC and headphone amplifier that combines advanced wireless and wired audio decoding in a compact, feature-rich package. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.4 and support for a wide range of high-resolution codecs — including LDAC, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, and aptX Lossless — the BTR17 delivers detailed, lossless-like wireless music playback. Its flagship Qualcomm QCC5181 chipset and dual ESS ES9069Q DACs handle audio with precision and dynamic accuracy.

A built-in XMOS USB controller allows the BTR17 to function as a full-featured USB DAC with support for PCM up to 768 kHz/32-bit, native DSD512 and wide compatibility with phones and computers. A 1.3-inch full-color IPS display provides clear real-time information on codec, volume, battery and modes. With both 3.5 mm single-ended and 4.4 mm balanced outputs, the unit delivers strong amplification suitable for IEMs and headphones alike. Desktop Mode enables connection to an external power supply for increased output power without draining the host device’s battery. Physical switches let you seamlessly choose between Bluetooth, USB PC DAC or Phone DAC modes, and app-based control with a customizable ten-band EQ adds fine-tuning capability — making the BTR17 a versatile solution for premium portable and desktop audio.
