tldr; BTR5 evolved. More power, better DAC. Serious portable option.

Best praise vs top criticism for FiiO BTR7
“It's not lossless over BT, but it still sounds great. Bluetooth is not the limiting factor in most cases, it sounds great with good gear. I have a BTR7 and it's fantastic. If you want something like that don't hesitate.”
“most like every Fiio product has some quirk or bug that makes it not work 100% correctly, my BTR7 bootloops 3-4 times before it starts and my BTR17 is highly sensative to EM interference.”
