I use it to play my flac, aac, and mp3 files, sent to an external DAC and preamp, to a pair of Edifier 3000PRO speakers. I couldn't be happier with the sound and reliability.I chose this unit because I can load 3rd party apps like Neutron Music Player and MegaSync for the best music reproduction and no hassle automatic syncing of my music file libraries. I also have the remote control which works very well but must be purchased separately and is a little hard to get.Excellent product and value.FiiO makes great stuff.

 

It was the best deal I could find for the R7. Very easy to use as my bedside DAC.

A great streamer with very good sound quality but...VERY difficult to change language from Chinese (as delivered) to English!!! Provided booklet is totally useless and I had to dig around for LONG time to finally change the language. It does not help that everything is in Chinese and there are MANY sub menus!I almost sent it back because of this but I finally lucked out and was able to change the language to English. Don't ask me how I did it as I couldn't do it again if my life depended on it. The menu system is very complicated and can be confusing for a computer illiterate like me. Jury is still out as to whether I will keep it as I value easy to use products.

Wonderfully adaptable, great for streaming or adding your own music from an SD card. Powers anything I've got, from OTE cans to tower speakers. Use Bluetooth, optical, RCA or other connector, it does brilliantly with all of them. A really exciting piece of kit!

Desde que lo vi me encantó, lo compre y es genial tener todo integrado y con sonido de calidad pero... Mis tres estrellas es porque en la entrada de audio óptico solo soporta 48 khz cuando pongo contenido de NETFLIX por ejemplo ya en la mayoría de contenido tiene una taza de refresco superior no lo logra decodificar y eso es una lástima ojalá y esto se pueda solucionar con una actualización si no quedaré un poco decepcionado.Since I saw it I loved it, I bought it and it's great to have everything integrated and with quality sound but... My three stars is because the optical audio input only supports 48 khz when I put NETFLIX content, for example, on most of content it has a higher refresh rate it can't decode and that's a shame hopefully and this can be fixed with an update otherwise I'll be a little disappointed.

Now you can conect your external hard drives to Fiio R7 for listen music. you can buy a smart remote control for R7 also, after installing then you can control volume, play music. If you connect it to a XDuoo balance tube, you will get wonderful sound warm and clean, make you love your headphone more. Hope you happy with your new toy!

**THIS FIRST PART WILL BE THE UPDATED SECTION** In my review I think I mentioned, but might have left absent, a gratuitous audio delay in the R7. At the time I believed that they were rolling out updates to address this, and after 3 months of waiting that does not seem to be the case. Recent updates have left this issue entirely unsolved, and FiiO has gotten progressively less forward in discussing the delay when it's brought up. I've had a range of interactions from outright lies, to the insinuation that I somehow voided my warranty to cause the delay myself? These are very odd custom service interactions, and an even odder way to deal with a pretty off-putting issue for a lot of people. On top of this the delay itself has only gotten worse, what started as a 150ms delay has now blossomed into a fully grown 450ms delay. With this in mind, and with my negative interactions with FiiO's customer support on what I would consider to be a serious issue, I would advise staying away from this product until you can look up an easy resolution or FiiO decides to take accountability for their engineering.The R7 is surprisingly very robust, I've only bought FiiO's budget products before and was left with a very sour taste in my mouth, this is about 7 years later though and the feature set was enticing enough to cleanse my palette and I figured I'd dive in.To keep this simple here's a list of Pros and Cons, so you can make your own informed decision, immediately followed by a summary of my own opinion.PROS:-Plenty of inputs, more than the average user would need, and suitable for hobbyists/enthusiasts and power users.-Good resolution on the touchscreen, and the display is very responsive. This is probably one of the better touch screens you'll find on a device in this price range in my experience.-Good utilization of its OS. The R7 makes a decent, not too pared back from a good DAP and it doesn't leave too much to be desired on that end.-Great sound. The R7 seems to prioritize vocals and midrange a great deal, which is perfect for me as that's the sound profile I like out of most. This is decently configurable and there are audio settings that I, personally, will most likely avoid tinkering with as I enjoy the sound out-of-box.-Updating is easy, and because of the Android OS maintaining the connections on things like wifi, bluetooth and so on is simple.CONS:-Huge delay in USB DAC mode, on some forums I've seen people document theirs at 450ms (this is practically half a second, for reference) and I believe it. This is fine for JUST listening to music, but people using USB DACs for their computers are usually expecting something a little more versatile. This is unusable for something like, say, watching a video, or playing a game.-The various audio modes lock your display on a relevant screen, exiting this screen will exit the mode. You're out of luck if you need to fiddle with settings, and there aren't really any features available to you from these modes screens.-Of the aforementioned many inputs, I don't think there are enough for lines in. This isn't a dealbreaker for most, but your options for line-in audio are optical and coaxial which aren't ports found on a great deal of common household devices that people would be seeking to connect and integrate with a setup that involves a device like this.To summarize my total opinion: The R7 is very good, foundationally, and lacking in the areas that would actually enable to be the truly flexible T-Rex of its price range. FiiO can fix a lot of these things with simple firmware updates, but the current issue is that the different forms of optimization it's seeking out are kneecapping what could serve as a fully functional all-in-one solution for home audio needs in smaller setups.Should you buy this? If you're looking for a device to set up your entire house, probably not. You might be able to patch together solutions over that much space depending on your needs but you'd be better off finding a more appropriate solution. However, if you're using this on a desk, with active speakers and/or headphones, and you don't consume multimedia formats, you're likely going to find that the R7 is the perfect price-to-performance ratio for you. It genuinely does a lot, and what it does it tends to do very well, and with optimization improvements I think FiiO will have legitimately cornered an entire market to itself by offering something very reasonably priced for the features being offered.And one final note: I had to contact FiiO support directly to troubleshoot some issues with the R7, and over email their chat was fast and responsive. I don't think they have a very well structured system for FREQUENT responses, but the responses you do end up getting are helpful, concise and easy to understand. I just wish their available documentation expound more.

Se escucha muy bien. , mucho mejor que escuchar desde la computadora . Aunque el sistema android no es muy de lo agrado , ha funcionado muy bien con tidal qobuz y Apple Music. Muy conveniente por el precio , tienes dac , streamer , player , etc en un solo aparato .

Es lo que estaba buscando para mi audio de escritorio. Aún no he explotado todas las funciones, pero después de varios meses usándolo a diario, me sigue pareciendo que tiene una calidad precio muy buena.

Klingt perfekt - High End würdig - und mein neuer Roon Endpunkt. Bedienung einfach, wenn man ein Tablet, bzw. Smartphone gewohnt ist.Auch der Sound als Kopfhörerverstärker top.PS.: wenn man das Gerät mit USB für Videosound am PC benötigt, sollte man eher zum R9 greifen, da das Audiosignal bei diesem Gerät zu sehr verzögert. Es gibt aber eine kleine Abhilfe, wenn man die Digitaleingänge verwendet. Bei reinem Audio ist das natürlich egal.

Déjà l'esthétique est superbe, les fonctions d'affichage également.Niveau son on monte d'un cran par rapport à mon ancien M11S. Une clarté et du détail frappent dès les premières notes et se confirme avec une écoute plus poussée.C'est un bijou à s'offrir les yeux fermés !

I have to start by saying this may be a slightly biased review as I really like FiiO. I think their equipment across the board provides excellent value for money. I have a FiiO BTR5 (2021), BTR7, K7 and now this R7. This means there is a piece of FiiO equipment is involved with all my at home audio consumption. The BTR's deal with my phone audio. The K7 is for my PC and now this R7 deals with all my inhouse music and TV (it has changed location from my picture provided so I could plug in my TV via optical cable) The only time I don't use something FiiO is when using my DAP. I initially wanted a FiiO DAP but was presented with such a great deal for a Shanling M6 Pro I just couldn't refuse. Having said that, it does stay hooked up to the R7 as a drive when I am not actively using it.The R7 is more than powerful enough to deal with my headphone collection and the speakers I have attached are the self-powered Triangle AIO Twins + JAMO S 810 subwoofer. Running my TV audio through the R7 was a game changer, especially movie night.I currently have Spotify and TIDAL installed on the R7 and my personal digital music collection is stored on flash drives, SD cards, DAP and on my PC which can be accessed via my home network. The fact the R7 can take all these as inputs make it a worthwhile piece of equipment as an all encompassing interface. Because it has really nice built in DAC's and Amp's it really does make this the perfect piece of equipment for my HiFi needs.It has no trouble 'properly' powering my Fostex Argon headphones (the hardest to drive headphones in my collection) In fact, it makes them really shine.It does have a bit of a learning curve when getting used to the interface as it has a massive array of features. Once you are accustomed to the R7, and all its features, it really is a joy to navigate because of the touch screen (why aren't all pieces of HiFi supplied with a touch screen these days? Even, a touch screen remote would be great)Easily my favourite pieces of HiFi equipment. I'll probably get a turntable for it soon, at which point I will not need anything else.The fact I have had this for quite a while now, 4 months-ish at the time of writing this, and I still appreciate how useful and great sounding this item truly is tells you everything you need to know.
