The highlights of the FiiO M11 Plus at a glance:Committed to first-class sound - 2x ESS ES9068AS integrated8-core Snapdragon 660 processor on board - Powerful and energy-efficient at the same timeTHX AAA amplification - Fully balanced and equipped with plenty of powerAndroid 10 as operating system - Flexible to use, intuitive and beautifulTrue communication talent - 2-way Bluetooth, 2.4/5 GHz WiFi and moreEnergy-efficient and smooth operation - Thanks to Snapdragon 660 octa-core processorThe FiiO M11 Plus is powered by Qualcomm's blazingly fast Snapdragon 660. The structure of the processor follows the Big.LITTLE concept - four powerful cores are used for computationally intensive tasks and four energy-saving cores for less demanding processes. On the one hand, this ensures that the M11 Plus always responds smoothly to operating inputs, but on the other hand, it also plays music throughout the day.Besides the processor itself, the rest of the equipment is also impressive. Namely, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal memory (expandable up to 2 TB via MicroSD) and an Adreno 512 graphics processor that cuts a fine figure in videos and games.THX Certified - With the innovative THX AAA circuitry on boardThe masterminds behind THX® (they're the ones who made the movie "Star Wars", among other things) came up with a clever amplifier circuit called THX AAA technology. This innovative technology and the rigorous testing procedure associated with it are now also used in the FiiO M11 Plus. And it's one of the first High Res players in the world to do so.This seal guarantees that every THX-certified module delivers a clearly audible, significantly better sound quality with the same power supply as other modules.This THX AAA-78 amplifier is used in both balanced and unbalanced mode and delivers "full power". The only difference: In balanced mode, two amplifier modules are active in parallel, in unbalanced mode only one.In addition, only the finest components work in this module. For one thing, an eight-stage amplifier circuit, a 4-fold independent power supply, a six-layer PCB layout and high-precision resistors with a maximum tolerance of 0.5%. The result is incredibly low distortion and excellent channel separation for the best sound.Shields up! - Outside interference doesn't stand a chanceAs nice as it is to talk and exchange with each other: With electrical circuits, this is definitely undesirable. That's why FiiO has not only completely redesigned the main circuit board of the M11 Plus and consistently separated the digital and analogue circuits, but also shielded them from external influences using appropriate metal sheets.This measure once again underlines the consistency, respect and love that FiiO Musik pays to the best possible sound.Android 10 as the operating system - flexible, intuitive and beautifulThe built-in hardware plays a major role in the complete music experience - but not alone. It forms the basis for it, but in the end it is the software that controls the hardware that decides what comes out in the end. And because FiiO leaves nothing to chance with the M11 Plus, they have chosen what is probably the most flexible and versatile operating system available: Android!And as good as Android already sounds in its "factory state", it still has a lot of potential for further improvements. A challenge that FiiO is happy to take on and has optimised the operating system down to the smallest detail. This makes listening to music twice as much fun.Plenty of connectivity - something for everyoneBluetooth 5.0 - Both as a transmitter and a receiverBluetooth is still the king among wireless protocols when it comes to a fast and uncomplicated connection between transmitter and receiver. With Bluetooth 5.0, the FiiO M11 Plus not only adds a high range and interference resistance, but also an enormous variety of standards. In addition to SBC and AAC, aptX, aptX-HD and LDAC are also available in the transmitter direction.And the best thing about it: The M11 Plus not only sends music via Bluetooth, but also receives it! This means that the player also functions as a high-quality Bluetooth receiver via SBC, AAC and LDAC. The player then outputs the music received in this way as usual via its headphone connections, via USB or the coaxial digital output and ensures the best sound.2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WLAN - music from NAS and the InternetEven though the FiiO M11 Plus has a huge storage capacity, sometimes you need a little more. And thanks to WLAN with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, the music can come directly from the NAS at home or from the streaming service of your choice (for example, Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Qobuz). The whole world of music is thus open to you.Oh, and if you want to listen to music from one of your Apple devices directly via the FiiO M11 Plus: AirPlay is also on board, which is a great alternative to the (under Apple) limited Bluetooth protocol AAC).Wired is also possible - for example, via 2-way USB Type-C.The USB Type-C connection is not a one-way street either. The FiiO M11 Plus can receive music digitally and convert it via its high-quality D/A converter in the best quality (maximum 32 bit/384 kHz and DSD128) and pass it on, but it can also work as a USB transport. As a USB transport, the music stored on the player is simply passed on in digital form to a DAC connected behind it, which then decodes your music. Of course, this also works via the coaxial digital output.So obvious, so versatile - the headphone connectionsLast but not least; probably the most frequently used connection type: the headphone. With all the variety the FiiO M11 Plus has to offer, it would be a surprise if they had "skimped" here. Well, there are not just one or two different connection options; no, there are all three.You can connect your headphones either classically via the 3.5 millimetre jack connection, fully balanced via the 2.5 millimetre jack connection or simply via the balanced 4.4 millimetre jack connection. And if all that isn't enough: the 3.5 mm jack output can also function as a coaxial digital output if desired. No matter how you connect the FiiO M11 Plus, one thing is guaranteed: It always sounds great.The best possible usability - Via the 5.5" display and via FiiO LinkAll the technology and the incredible variety of functions are made easy and clear with the 5.5"/13.97 centimetre touch display. With a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels and a maximum of 16.7 million displayable colours, this high-quality IPS display plays to all its strengths. So you can not only listen to your music in excellent quality, but also see it.And if you don't feel like operating the player via its integrated touch display (for example, because you have it in your pocket or backpack), you will appreciate the "FiiO Link" app. Simply connect your smartphone (only Android is supported at the moment) to the M11 Plus via Bluetooth and control it elegantly from your smartphone. It couldn't be simpler.Not only does it look good, it also feels good - the elegant housingThe FiiO M11 Plus is an experience in every respect. Sound-wise, optically and also haptically.The modern design completely dispenses with curves and relies on a straightforward, sharply cut profile that conveys at first glance: "We mean business!".This impression is underlined by the almost frameless touch display and the carbon fibre behind coated glass on the back.And here, too, there is another innovation compared to its predecessors: the rotary wheel for volume control has disappeared or been replaced by two physical buttons embedded in the housing. This saves space and makes the FiiO M11 Plus even easier to carry in your pocket. But there's more: in addition to the buttons on the housing, the volume can also be conveniently controlled with a swipe of the touch display, via Bluetooth and via FiiO Link. It's all in your hands!Power needs power - and the M11 Plus delivers!The M11 Plus is packed to the brim with smart technology and powerful electronics. Of course, all these innovations and high performers need power to guarantee the best sound.To ensure that you still have good music in your ears all day long, FiiO has given the M11 Plus a gigantic battery with 6,000 mAh capacity. This results in a maximum of 11.5 hours of runtime (depending on the volume setting, the headphones used and the selected file format). And if the battery does run out at some point, it is fully charged and ready for use again within about three hours thanks to QuickCharge 2.0/3.0/4.0 or USB Power Delivery 2.0 (applies to QC4.0).Also good to know: Via Quick Charge 2.0 and/or MediaTek Pump Express, the player is fully charged again within 2.5 hours and ready for the next adventure. And if you don't need it, that's no problem either. The battery provides up to 55 days of standby!The matching accessories are also includedTo ensure that you can enjoy your player for as long as possible and that it also survives minor accidents or falls undamaged, the FiiO M11 Plus also comes with the matching accessories.A leatherette case is included in the scope of delivery, as well as a factory-applied tempered glass screen protector. And for an optimal connection, FiiO also includes the matching USB 3.0 cable to quickly transfer data to and from the player and to ensure an optimal charging process.
FiiO M11S - The essence of FiiO in one device. The FiiO M11S in summary:
After a long time of waiting, FiiO finally releases another portable Hi-Res music player with the M11S. And what a player it is! High-quality yet practically equipped and all that - as usual - at an absolutely affordable price. The highlights of the FiiO M11S at a glance:
A strong team for excellent sound - Dual-DAC ESS ES9038Q2M integrated. 8-core Snapdragon 660 processor on board - Powerful and energy-efficient Really gives every headphone a run for its money - With up to 670 milliwatts of power Android 10 as operating system - Highest flexibility with excellent sound True communication talent - 2-way Bluetooth, 2.4/5 GHz WiFi and much more Dual-DAC ESS ES9038Q2M - Versatile and powerful sound at the same time
So Hi-Res player like the FiiO M11S consists of a variety of components, and each has its part in the sound. However, one component in particular stands out: the digital-to-analog converter used. It is responsible for converting the stored music into the audible waveform that is ultimately to be reproduced. For this very reason, the M11S uses not one, but two DAC chips from the American digital specialist ESS. The ES9038Q2M, in which one chip each takes care of the decoding of the right and left channel, respectively. It doesn't get any more consistent than this. In addition to its already impressive capabilities on paper ( DSD256, 32/384 bit/kHz and 123 dB signal-to-noise ratio), it convinces with a sensationally smooth, natural and brilliant sound that lets you discover your music in a whole new way. Good music is more than just the product of ones and zeros.
Energy-efficient and smooth operation - thanks to Snapdragon 660 octa-core processor. The FiiO M11S is equipped with Qualcomm's fast Snapdragon 660. The processor is built according to the Big.LITTLE concept - four powerful cores are used for computing-intensive tasks and four energy-saving cores for less demanding processes. On the one hand, this ensures that the M11S always responds smoothly to operating inputs, but on the other hand, it is also so energy-efficient that you can practically listen to music all day long. Besides the processor itself, the rest of the equipment is also impressive. Namely, 3 GB of working memory and 32 GB of internal storage, which can also be expanded up to 2 terabytes via microSD memory card.
Full of voltage and energy - With up to 670 milliwatts of power! We are moved by the music, your headphones on the other hand pure power. And the simple motto applies: "The more, the better!". With up to 670 milliwatts (in balanced mode at 32 ohm load, 200 milliwatts at 32 ohm single-ended), there is far more than enough of it available. Whether sensitive in-ear headphones or power-hungry over-ear model with the highest demands: The FiiO M11S drives them to peak performance in a relaxed and easygoing manner.
Shields up! - Outside interference doesn't stand a chance As nice as it is to talk and exchange with each other: With electrical circuits, this is definitely undesirable. And so FiiO has not only completely redesigned the motherboard itself and consistently separated the digital and analog circuits in the M11S, but also shielded them against outside influences using appropriate metal sheets. This measure once again underlines the consistency, respect and love that FiiO Musik pays to the best possible sound.
Android 10 as operating system - flexible, intuitive and beautiful The built-in hardware plays a big role in the full music experience - but not alone. It is the basis for it, but ultimately the software that controls the hardware also decides what comes out in the end. And since FiiO also leaves nothing to chance with the M11S, they have chosen probably the most flexible and versatile operating system available: Android! And as good as Android already sounds in its "factory state", it still has a lot of potential for further improvements. This is a challenge that FiiO is happy to take on and has optimized the operating system down to the smallest detail. Probably the most important feature is "SRC Global Bypass". This means that the Sampling Rate Converter (SRC for short), which is feared by audiophile purists, is completely deactivated. Your music remains untouched and unchanged by the operating system and is processed and played back in the original. Just as it should be.
Music, just the way you want it - In five different modes With the FiiO M11S, you don't "just" listen to music, you listen to it the way you like it best. Quite specifically, you have the choice between: 1. Android mode: you have full access to all the possibilities of Android, including all apps. 2. pure music mode: everything that is not needed is turned off. Including all apps that could interfere with pure music enjoyment by putting a load on the processor. 3. blueooth receive mode: The M11S receives music from other Bluetooth transmitters such as smartphones, laptops or other Bluetooth devices. 4. USB DAC mode: Once connected to the computer via USB, it turns it into a real HiFi device. 5. AirPlay mode: Bypasses the limitations of Bluetooth use with Apple devices and provides first-class sound there as well.
Plenty of connectivity options - something for everyone No matter what connection you're thinking of, the FiiO M11S has it - guaranteed. And that's both wireless and classic wired. The following standards and connections are on board the FiiO M11S:
Bluetooth 5.0 - And that as a transmitter and as a receiver. Bluetooth is still the king among wireless protocols when it comes to a fast and uncomplicated connection of transmitter and receiver. With Bluetooth 5.0, the FiiO M11S not only adds a high range and interference resistance, but also an enormous variety of standards. In addition to SBC and AAC, aptX, aptX-HD and LDAC and LHDC are also available in the transmitter direction.
And the best thing about it: The M11S not only sends music via Bluetooth, but also receives it! Thus, the player also acts as a high-quality Bluetooth receiver; and that via SBC, AAC and LDAC. The player then outputs the music received in this way as usual via its headphone jacks, via USB or the coaxial digital output and ensures the best sound. 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WLAN - music from NAS and the Internet Even though the FiiO M11S has a huge storage capacity, sometimes you need a bit more. And thanks to WLAN with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, the music can come directly from the NAS at home or from the streaming service of your choice (for example, Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Qobuz). The whole world of music is thus open to you. Oh, and if you want to listen to music from one of your Apple devices directly through the FiiO M11S: AirPlay is also on board, which is a great alternative to the (under Apple) limited Bluetooth protocol AAC.
Wired is also possible - for example via 2-way USB Type-C. The USB Type-C port is not a one-way street either. Thus, the FiiO M11S can both receive music digitally and convert it via its high-quality D/A converters in the best quality (maximum 32 bit/384 kHz and DSD128) and pass it on, but also work as a USB transport. As a USB transport, the music stored on the player is simply passed on in digital form to a DAC connected behind it, which then decodes your music. Also works via the coaxial digital output, of course.
So obvious, so versatile - The headphone connections Last but not least; probably the most frequently used connection type: the headphone. With all the diversity that the FiiO M11S displays, it would probably be a surprise if one had saved" here. Well, there are not only one or two different connection options; no, there are all three. You can either connect your headphones via the classic 3.5 millimeter jack, fully balanced via the 2.5 millimeter jack or simply via the balanced 4.4 millimeter jack. And if all that is not enough: The 3.5 mm jack output also functions as a coaxial digital output if desired. No matter how you connect the FiiO M11S, one thing is guaranteed: It always sounds excellent.
The best possible usability - Via the 5" display and via FiiO Link.
All the technology and the incredible variety of functions becomes quite simple and clear, with the 5"/12.7 centimeter touch display. With a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, this high-quality IPS display plays to all its strengths. So you can not only hear your music in excellent quality, but also see it. And if you ever don't feel like operating the player via the touch display integrated into it (for example, because you just have it in your pocket or backpack), you'll appreciate the "FiiO Link" app. Simply connect your smartphone (only Android is supported at the moment) to the M11S via Bluetooth and control it elegantly from your smartphone.It couldn't be simpler.
A real all-rounder - even when it comes to operation. With a single button, you have full control of your music at all times. Add to favorites, pause music or let it continue playing, switch equalizer and much more. Conveniently located on the side of the housing, clearly tactile and always within reach.
Performance needs power - and the M11S delivers! The M11S is packed to the brim with smart technology and powerful electronics. Of course, all these innovations and high performers also need energy to guarantee the best sound. So that you still have good music in your ears all day long, FiiO has given the M11S a gigantic battery with 5,300 mAh capacity. This results in a maximum of 14 hours of runtime (depending on the volume setting, the headphones used and the selected file format).
The matching accessories are also included To ensure that you can enjoy your player for as long as possible and that it also survives minor accidents or falls undamaged, the FiiO M11S also comes with the matching accessories. A transparent case is included, as well as a factory-applied tempered glass screen protector. And for the optimal connection, FiiO also includes the matching USB 3.0 cable to quickly transfer data to the player and back, as well as to ensure an optimal charging process.
FiiO M17 - Let's get loud!The FiiO M17 in summary: There are many excellent sounding portable music players. And a lot of first-class stationary headphone amplifiers with integrated DACs. And there's the FiiO M17; which combines the outstanding qualities of both concepts.
The highlights of the FiiO M17 at a glance:- Uncompromising two-in-one concept - desktop and portable combined.
- D/A converters at their best, twice! - One ESS ES9038PRO DAC per channel- Next Level amplification integrated - THX 788+ with 3,000 mW power per channel!- Extremely communication-friendly - 2-way Bluetooth, 2.4/5 GHz WiFi and much more- Ultimately consistent design - Intelligent and well thought-out, inside and out
Two purposes perfectly combined - desktop and portable in one unitIn the past, those who value excellent sound both on the road and at home usually had to buy two devices. A portable device for on the go with a long battery life and headphones optimised for it, and a powerful amplifier for power-hungry headphones to get the last detail out of the music.The FiiO M17, on the other hand, combines both of these options. Economical and sound-strong on the road, unleashed and powerful on the home docking station.
Dual DAC ESS ES9038PRO - channel-separated for the highest sound qualityNot only is the ESS ES9038 PRO digital-to-analogue converter beyond reproach, it is also installed in the FiiO M17 in a dual version - one for each channel. This assures the music player not only of the highest sound purity and detail, but also the greatest possible support for file formats, resolutions and sampling rates.In concrete terms, this means that signal processing up to 32 bits and 768 kHz as well as DSD512 in the highest quality are available.
Concentrated power at the headphone jack - up to 3,000 milliwatts of power!Together with the American company THX, FiiO has designed the THX 788+ headphone amplifier. In addition to excellent measurements in the laboratory, this amplifier scores with an incredible amount of power of up to 3,000 milliwatts per channel. And since the headphone amplifier is also channel-separated, the 3,000 mW power per channel applies!
The perfect amplification for every headphone - Adjustable in 5 stepsParticularly sensitive in-ear monitors require a completely different amplification factor than, for example, high-impedance over-ear headphones in order to sound perfect. That's why the FiiO M17 features a total of five different gain levels (i.e. amplification factors). In battery mode, low gain is available for particularly sensitive in-ears, through medium gain and high gain to over-ear headphone mode for high-impedance headphones.When the FiiO M17 is paired with the included docking station with integrated fan, it is really unleashed, because then the Enhanced Over-ear Headphone Mode is available, which provides maximum performance even for the most demanding headphones.This also explains the two mains adapters included in the scope of delivery. One for charging the battery, the other for supplying power in desktop mode on the dock.
A wide range of connection options - wireless and wiredWhatever connection you have in mind, the FiiO M17 has it - guaranteed. And it has both wireless and classic wired connections. The following standards and connections are on board the FiiO M17:
Bluetooth 5.0 - And that as a transmitter and as a receiver.Bluetooth is still the king among wireless protocols when it comes to a fast and uncomplicated connection between transmitter and receiver. With Bluetooth 5.0, the FiiO M17 not only adds a high range and interference resistance, but also an enormous variety of standards. In addition to SBC and AAC, aptX, aptX-HD and LDAC are also available in the transmitter direction.And the best thing about it: The M17 not only sends music via Bluetooth, but also receives it! This means that the player also functions as a high-quality Bluetooth receiver; and it does so via SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive and LDAC. The music received in this way is then output as usual via its headphone connections, USB or the coaxial digital output and ensures the best sound.
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WLAN - Music from NAS and the InternetEven though the FiiO M17 has a huge storage capacity, sometimes you need a little more. And thanks to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WLAN, the music can come directly from the NAS at home or from the streaming service of your choice (e.g. Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Qobuz). The whole world of music is thus open to you.Oh, and if you want to listen to music from one of your Apple devices directly via the FiiO M17: AirPlay is also on board, which is a great alternative to the (under Apple) limited Bluetooth protocol AAC.
Can also be wired - for example via 2-way USB Type-CThe USB Type-C connection is not a one-way street either. The FiiO M17 can receive music digitally and convert it to the highest quality via its high-quality D/A converter (maximum 32 bit/768 kHz and DSD512) and pass it on, but it can also work as a USB transport. As a USB transport, the music stored on the player is simply passed on in digital form to a DAC connected behind it, which then decodes your music. Of course, this also works via the coaxial digital output.
So obvious, so versatile - the headphone connectionsLast but not least; probably the most frequently used connection type: the headphone. With all the variety the FiiO M17 has to offer, it would be a surprise if they had "skimped" here. Well, there are not just one or two different connection options; no, there are four!Connect your headphones either classically via the 3.5 millimetre or 6.35 millimetre jack connection, fully balanced via the 2.5 millimetre jack connection or simply via the balanced 4.4 millimetre jack connection. And if all that is not enough: there is also a dedicated coaxial digital output that can also be used as a digital input. No matter how you connect the FiiO M17, one thing is guaranteed: It always sounds great.
Energy-efficient and smooth operation - thanks to Snapdragon 660 octa-core processorThe FiiO M17 uses Qualcomm's blazingly fast Snapdragon 660. The structure of the processor follows the Big.LITTLE concept - four powerful cores are used for computationally intensive tasks and four energy-saving cores for less demanding processes. On the one hand, this ensures that the M17 always responds smoothly to operating inputs, but on the other hand, it also plays music throughout the day.Besides the processor itself, the rest of the equipment is also impressive. Namely, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal memory (expandable up to 2 TB via microSD) and an Adreno 512 graphics processor that cuts a fine figure in videos and games.
Sophisticated cooling concept - convincing both actively and passivelyWith the extremely powerful hardware built into the FiiO M17, there is one problem during operation: waste heat. Or, actually not. FiiO has taken the necessary precautions and created an appropriate cooling concept.The housing of the M17 is made entirely of aluminium, which already effectively dissipates heat. In addition, there is a so-called "vapour chamber" inside the player, i.e. a special liquid cooling system that always keeps the FiiO M17 within the optimal temperature range.And when things get really busy on the dock in desktop mode, the fan integrated into the dock helps to dissipate the waste heat quickly and efficiently.
Separately built for a common goal - perfect soundIn the end, while all the components of the FiiO M17 must work together and form a single unit for the stated goal - excellent sound - each assembly is specialised and optimised for its own purpose. What could be more obvious than to physically decouple the components from each other so that they do not influence each other?No sooner said than done - and so a total of 17 (!) different circuit boards are used in the FiiO M17. These are also protected from electromagnetic interference by a total of seven copper shielding plates so that no note is lost.
Android 10 as operating system - flexible, intuitive and beautifulThe built-in hardware plays a major role in the complete music experience - but not alone. It forms the basis for it, but in the end it is the software that controls the hardware that decides what comes out in the end. And since FiiO leaves nothing to chance with the M17, they have chosen probably the most flexible and versatile operating system available: Android! In addition to excellent usability, the wide world of Android apps with numerous streaming services such as Tidal, Spotify, Deezer, Qobuz and many more is thus available to you.And as good as Android already sounds in its "factory state", it still has a lot of potential for further improvements. This is a challenge that FiiO is happy to take on and has optimised the operating system down to the smallest detail. This makes listening to music twice as much fun.
Great cinema - operation via the 5.99" display and FiiO LinkAll the technology and the incredible variety of functions are made easy and clear with the 5.99"/15.21 centimetre touch display. With a resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels, this high-quality display plays to all its strengths. So you can not only listen to your music in excellent quality, but also see it.And if you don't feel like operating the player via its integrated touch display (for example, because you have it in your pocket or backpack), you will appreciate the "FiiO Link" app. Simply connect your smartphone to the M17 via WLAN (currently only Android is supported) or Bluetooth (iOS and Android) and control it elegantly via your smartphone. It couldn't be simpler.
A real powerhouse - also when it comes to the batteryThe M17 is packed to the brim with smart technology and powerful electronics. Of course, all these innovations and high performers need power to guarantee the best sound.To ensure that you still have good music in your ears all day long, FiiO has given the M17 a gigantic battery with 9,200 mAh capacity. This results in a maximum of 10.6 hours of runtime (depending on the volume setting, the headphones used and the selected file format). And if the battery does run out at some point, it is fully charged and ready for use again within about 4.5 hours thanks to QuickCharge 2.0/3.0/4.0 or USB Power Delivery 2.0 (applies to QC4.0).
The matching accessories are also included in the scope of deliveryTo ensure that you can enjoy your player for as long as possible and that it also survives minor accidents or falls undamaged, the FiiO M17 also comes with the matching accessories.A leather case is included in the scope of delivery, as well as a factory-applied tempered glass screen protector. And for the optimal connection, FiiO also includes the matching USB 3.0 cable to quickly transfer data to the player and back, as well as to ensure an optimal charging process.And then, of course, there's the matching docking station and power supply in the package to get the most out of the FiiO M17.So, are you ready for this player?

A complete Hi-Fi desktop setup
Using the KB1 keyboard and PL50 linear power supply, you can exploit the full potential of the R7 and experience a complete FiiO HiFi desktop system at the highest level.
Time to be your own DJ
The R7 can act as a control centre for accessing your music when connected to a NAS and playing music via DLNA. The R7 is Roon Ready certified, allowing you to access music from a ROON CORE source such as a NAS or computer. And if that's not enough, the R7 itself can act as a network music server as it is compatible with DLNA broadcast protocols. Using DLNA, you can access the music in the R7's internal memory, micro SD cards and even tracks on a connected external portable drive on another device.
FiiO HiFi Desktop Experience Version 1.0
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced audiophile, you can easily put together a desktop hi-fi system with the R7. You can also synergistically combine the R7 with other FiiO products to further enhance your listening experience for a completely new and refreshing desktop hi-fi experience.
More power The pursuit of great sound
4th generation FPGA with phase-locked loop clock technology + 2 femtosecond crystal oscillators Enables a high-precision, low-jitter unified clock source for clean and stable sound.
Specially optimised audio circuit design - The R7 uses an ES9068AS DAC in conjunction with a pair of THX AAA 788+ headphone amplifiers. There are also other high-quality components inside the R7, such as four Panasonic PPS film capacitors. No expense has been spared in using high-quality components to ensure that the R7 faithfully reproduces your audio.
5 gain stages, 3 W output power
The R7 has five gain levels: low/medium/high/over-ear headphone/boosted over-ear headphone mode. With a 32-Ω load in extended over-ear headphone mode, the R7 is capable of outputting up to 3 W, more than enough to drive low- and high-impedance headphones.
Electricity is the Root of Good Sound - Dual DC/AC Power Supply
Inside the R7 is a 30W switching power supply. The AC input circuit is filtered and cleaned by a large capacitance choke and special high voltage capacitors. The DC input circuit is a ±12V high-voltage power supply. Both circuits contribute to the robustness of the power supply system to enhance the dynamic sound of your music. The R7 can also be used with external DC power supplies such as the FiiO PL50 linear power supply or other power supplies to give your sound an even purer, blacker background to really bring out the musical details.
*Only external 12V-3A DC power supplies are supported.
High quality components
The twelve 470uF tantalum capacitors help regulate and clean the current in the PSU, reducing the noise of the PSU. In addition, the specially designed metal cover secures the transformer to the main PSU board, reducing PSU jitter and providing more stable performance.
Power supply design with multiple LDOs
Thanks to power stabilisation and filtering, due in part to the use of ultra-low noise LDOs in each stage of the audio circuitry to regulate voltage, the R7 is continuously supplied with stable, clean power.
Bold design - exploring new form factors
As early as 3 years ago, we started thinking about how to design a streaming media player that would be ideal for even the smallest of workspaces. For a year, we explored numerous form factors, such as a horizontal, foldable or even rotatable screen. For each form factor, we built a specially optimised and handmade prototype to really fully explore the pros and cons. After numerous field tests and a lot of experience, we decided on the R7, which has a portrait display in an elegant and compact housing. With the R7, we want to usher in a new era of desktop hi-fi experience.
Portrait Screen - New Innovative Highlights
With a 5.0-inch high-definition display and Android operating system, the R7 lets you enjoy essential streaming services and other third-party apps like never before.
