FiiO R7 Desktop Streaming Player and DAC/Amp

Wenn man sich erst einmal in das Betriebssystem eingefuchst hat ( Android -ich Apple Nutzer), dann bietet der Fiio r7 wirklich sehr viele Möglichkeiten seinenMusik verlustfrei abzuspielen. Daumen hoch für diesen tollen Mediaserver. Verbesserungsvorschlag: Die App von Fiio könnte noch etwas nutzerfreundlich gestaltet werden.

I listen mainly to classical music and for some time I have been looking for a headphone amp/DAC that I could also use occasionally as a preamp and also to store my backed up cds. The Fiio R7 meets my requirements perfectly. The price too was good. I cannot comment on the streaming functions as this does not interest me.

Just received the unit. Wanted it play Apple Music in Hi Res. Dispute making all the necessary adjustment in the app and player, the best resolution I can get is 48/24 bit. Not sure if this unit was not reprogrammed to bypass Android conversion. I could get Hi Res from Roon which worked flawlessly.The major downside is that the sound quality is not that great. I tried both Balanced and Unbalanced audio outputs with similar disappointing results. I even tried a coaxial connection to my MacIntosh MA5300 which did sound better (based on price it should). However the most surprising thing is that I prefer the sound I was getting streaming from my Apple TV via HDMI to the my amplifier. Not sure if something is going on here with sound processing.I have 30 days to fully evaluate so I will try it out for a couple of weeks to see if my opinion changes.Pros:Looks good in a small form factorExcellent bright displayTouchscreen is responsiveHaving Google Play store gives lots of options for 3rd party softwareCons:Could not get Apple Music Hi Res...stuck at 48Sound quality is disappointing - very thin and lifeless - analog & DigitalPerhaps a touch too expensive for a modified Android phone.I will update this review in a couple of weeks to let you know if this is a keeper or not.

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.

J'ai acheté ce système et l'ai couplé à un ensemble SP3 de la même marque que je possédais déjà. Vraiment, la qualité est là, rien ne manque : les dispositifs internes bluetooth et wifi, les sorties numériques/analogiques audio, les ports usb/SD (adaptateur SD pour microSD inclus) mais la microSD n'est pas fournie.L'appareil loge dans un coffret où tout est soigneusement agencé. C'est propre. Ce système est vraiment un concentré de Haute Définition sonore rien qu'à analyser le choix des composants employés et à en écouter le rendu sonore; il n'y a pas de doute, c'est vraiment bien réalisé.Il est fourni avec un système android qui permet une utilisation simple. C'est un investissement mais il vaut le détour. L'interface de cet appareil peut se faire en langue francophone tout comme la documentation où il y a un chapitre francophone également.Il est multi-plateformes de streaming musicaux et grâce au "playstore", il y a possibilité d'installer des web radios.Je ne regrette pas mon achat et le conseille si vous êtes passionnés par une audition sans fausses notes.
