Excellent review of an excellent product that was well worth waiting for, I could not agree with you more regarding the FiiO BTR7/FD7 combo its simply killer in every regard. I would go as far as to say at least to my ears that the FD7 actually sounds better with the BTR7 than it does with the FiiO M11 Pluss (ESS).

Thanks for such a detailed review.

Hi,
thanks for the review.
Can you describe how much bigger the BTR7 feels vs the BTR5?
I mean is it like "wow this is much bigger" or "doesn't make a big difference" somehow?

Never had the BTR5. You might want to ask that question on the BTR7 thread. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fii...ted-to-chapter-4.963808/page-44#post-17130513

Thank you!

great review Isaac
