This is a fair ask, sitting right at the typical used-market median of US$70 and just below the 75th-percentile price of US$75. It is not a bargain, but US$75 is reasonable if the unit is fully functional and includes the essentials.
The BTR5 remains a very capable pocket DAC/amp: Bluetooth supports LDAC and aptX HD, while USB DAC operation, a useful OLED display, and both 3.5mm single-ended and 2.5mm balanced outputs make it unusually versatile. It offers respectable power for portable headphones and efficient full-size models, with the balanced output providing the most headroom. At this price, confirm battery life, charging, screen, Bluetooth pairing, and jack condition; accessories are a bonus rather than a deal-breaker.

Fiio, founded in 2007 in Guangzhou, China, emerged as a specialist in portable audio gear, initially crafting components like speakers for brands such as Meizu before launching its own lineup. The name blends "Fi" from hi-fi fidelity with "iO" symbolizing digital one's and zeros, evoking authentic sound and modern convenience, while its Chinese rendering "飞傲" conveys innovative vitality. From modest beginnings, the company expanded into a 15,000-square-meter industrial complex by 2022, solidifying its role as a prolific developer of music-centric electronics.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of portable and desktop audio categories, with flagship strengths in high-resolution digital audio players (DAPs), USB DACs, portable headphone amplifiers, and in-ear monitors. Its portfolio also encompasses cables, desktop amps, and select speakers, prioritizing versatile, high-performance solutions for on-the-go and home listening without venturing into turntables or large-scale hi-fi systems.
Fiio occupies a commanding mid-tier position in the global audiophile market, renowned for delivering premium sound quality at accessible prices that punch above their weight. Praised by enthusiasts for reliability and value, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking refined portable setups over luxury excess, backed by worldwide distribution and a track record of user-acclaimed innovations.
