FiiO R7 All-In-One Desktop Android HiFi Music Player Discussion & Impressions Thread
Two questions: 1. I'm using the R7 as a Roon endpoint mostly (at this time). Just wondering if it would be possible to have the screen with Album Art and music controls re-appear when Roon goes to the next song? Currently, I can set the display time of this screen in Settings -> Display ->...- christopherhifi

xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
I got in touch with WifiMedia, but they have no codes to share for this "1 year Roon for free" promo. Which is interesting, since the promotional email from Roon has links to WifiMedia in it, even when clicking on a button "1 year Roon Free". So WifiMedia is not going to give the 1 year free...- christopherhifi

Interesting how you refer to non-EQ users as "old school" ? :wink: I'm 50 yrs old, and 'back in the days' (when I was 15 - 30 yrs old) pretty much everything was equipped with EQ. So if it's really that hot these days, it's nothing more than a revival. I love the fact that these days EQ is often...- christopherhifi

That's where I got my Gryphon recently, but there's no mention of 1 year free Roon. I will send wifimedia an email and ask. Excellent webshop btw.- christopherhifi

By the way, a retailer linking to Roon's website wouldn't make sense. I didn't think that one through. :scream: In any case, it's out of stock on Roon's website. :wink:- christopherhifi

xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
The link on iFi's website directs to Roon's website, so I think it's only available through Roon. Probably other retailers will do the same (or not): link to Roon's website. Which of course rules out anyone outside the US, since they'd have to pay customs/import fees/shipping, etc. So it's an...- christopherhifi

xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
I can confirm it charges to 100% as iFi stated. When fully charged the flash icon in the display disappears, and the LED at the back will be glowing green constantly (it has stopped flashing). That would defy the meaning of "full capacity". Also, if I switch off the Gryphon, and charge it...- christopherhifi

xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
I'm not so sure it caps at 80%. From iFi's own explanation of this feature I quote: "it will charge to full capacity". In the attached picture you can see the feature (and my use case) in full view. ;) I think the charge is near 100% by now. You have a valid point about adding noise when...- christopherhifi

xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
In more or less 'stationary' setups, it can be useful. Suppose you're working on your PC during the day. You only need one wire from your PC to the Gryphon, and you don't need to worry about battery charge. If you want to take it with you 'on the go' in the evening, it is fully (?) charged...- christopherhifi

xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
Here's my findings, with dual port charging option set to ON. Gryphon connected with USB-A to USB-C (Included OTG) cable, going from my laptop to the Gryphon USB-C audio port. I performed the following sequence: 1. Laptop Off, Gryphon Off: No charging (as expected) 2. Laptop On, Gryphon Off...- christopherhifi

Do you have the “usb dual port charge” option? I’m guessing here, but I think this feature must have been there since this option was introduced. (I don’t know when that was).- christopherhifi

So I gave this a try. But something is not working as expected here. Maybe the @iFi audio people can give this setup a try (with a bit of luck. :wink: ) Here's my setup: A Raspberry Pi 4B, powered by a dedicated power supply connected to main power supply 220V The OTG USB-A to USB-c cable...- christopherhifi

No. You can't use the charging port for audio. This is all about the AUDIO usb-c input. That one, you can ALSO use for charging the Gryphon and / or powering it. Hence the setting is named "dual port charge". One port is used exclusively for charging (the one closest to the edge), and the...- christopherhifi

xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
From my understanding (@iFi, correct me if I'm wrong) the usb-port meant for the audio input is referred to. (As the explanation says: "<..>*and input the audio signal normally"). So that one USB-C port (the one closest to the center) will be used for both powering the Gryphon AND as an input...- christopherhifi

I could, but won't. ;) I'll have some use for these cables sooner or later (at home and/or at work). I've changed my mind and ordered the usb-c extension cable (Nimaso 1m - data & charging, €13). Just because you feel I should treat myself. lol- christopherhifi

Yes, this is an "elegant" solution... or rather a workaround. Good thinking too. :wink: Just one problem: I've got every single adapter and cable in the world, except anything with a female usb-c ending. :scream: I'm done buying cables and adapters for now... this is not doing the environment...- christopherhifi

xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
As you predicted, the UGreen usb-c to lightning cable does not work for audio between the iPhone and the Gryphon. One would think that if a short cable can be made by iFi that "just works" without an adapter, then some other company (or iFi) would make a longer version of that same cable. I...- christopherhifi

I appreciate your help, but the UGreen cable does NOT work as a replacement for the short included cable. I have bought and tested it, and there's no audio. You should really fact-check your posts before putting it down here. People make purchase decisions based on it, and everyone who gets to...- christopherhifi

Since we are in the Gryphon thread, I expect LORDROOTMAN to have tested this, or I'll send him the bill. :smile:But I have some faith in this, since the photos suggest you can make a data connection to another Apple device... which is a data connection as well. With any luck I'll have my cable...- christopherhifi

Yes, the short included Usb-c to Lightning cable works fine. But the question remains: what do I need to buy if I want a longer cable than the one that's included? The thing is: with the short cable, you always need to pick up both your iPhone AND your Gryphon in order to do anything on the...- christopherhifi

So, what is so special about this (included) little 'usb-c to lightning' cable, that it works without a CCA adapter? And what kind of cable should I buy if I want a longer one? I'm guessing not any usb-c to lightning cable will do, since it has to transfer data instead of power... ? By the way...- christopherhifi
