FiiO is a Chinese company established in 2007 that manufactures audio equipment. It is best known for its portable HiFi music players but also makes amplifiers, earphones, and DACs. Its latest Hi-Fi audio player is the FiiO M7 and it is powered by Samsung’s Exynos 7270 processor.

Nice, I hope the software will be much better with this version

Specs, anyone?

The specs are pretty much listed in the graphic shown.

Besides being in Chinese, the graphic shows features, not specs (intended as technical specs).

Here is another article on the M7.

Thanks! Headphone output power seems rather weak

So where is this meant to fit in, guessing in between x1 2nd gen ad x3 3rd gen, though being named m7, would imagine it to be a upgrade to m3.

Why would FIIO put in a USB-C port? That would make it incompatible with the K5.

I know people have wanted this feature where they tune in to an fm channel to listen to the TV audio and then use bluetooth earphones.
I think some fitness centers still use this configuration. Hopefully the fm and bluetooth comes with separate subsystems. Fm earphones could be more closer to meeting the needs, but audio quality on fm is not something to build a system around.

Seems very much a Sony A40 competitor. Many of the same features but you seem to trade more power for less battery life. Interesting if the M7 transmits FM over BT as the Sony does not. Of course we also need to see which sounds better.

When my FiiO M3 dies, I would consider it, it looks quite cute. I hope it's not more than 70USD. Too bad the GUI looks alarmingly slow.

The price in China is about 170 euro right now, so I have to say no chance at anything below 100, especially once you look at the specs.
