[FiiO BTR17/BTR7] True Lossless Bluetooth, Portable Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier BTR17 Is Officially Released!

[Johnfg465vd]

The BTR7 seems to have “next track” and “previous track” backwards; my mind correlates ”+” with next track, and “-“ with previous track, but FiiO swapped it. I seem to recall other FiiO products doing this as well, while most other vendors’ products work the way I expect.

It would be great to have this configurable. Otherwise, I have to always remember the BTR7 operates in the opposite way than I’d expect.

Does this bother others as well, or am I in the minority?

It bothers me a bit too. I remember the first few times of using playback controls where I'd press and hold the volume up button hoping for next track only to have the song start all over again. I've gotten used to it now but would definitely be happy if there is an option to toggle this in a later update.

Same here .. but now I do it from source (phone/PC)

Dear friend,

Since we found that most users prefer upper button for previous track and the lower button for next track, we did not change this design in BTR7. But we will report to the engineer to see whether they could add an option to select the opposite operation mode via the FiiO Control app.

Best regards

@FiiO , any chance to make PEQ activation more obvious, some edit button perhaps or at least hint.

Dear friend,

Thanks for the kind feedback. We will report to the engineer for assessing about that.

Best regards

Do you mind sharing a screenshot of it? In my unit there is nothing like such in v1.85.

@FiiO are there different software version being released to different users? My machine is bought in India and has the version 1.85 as downloaded from the FiiO control app's "Online Upgrade" option.

Dear friend,

Yes, some newer batchs have the v1.85 installed.

Best regards

 

[FiiO]

Thanks @FiiO I worked it out myself, still doesnt explain why wake screen still functions yet neither box is ticked

Dear friend,
There is a small problem with this option and the engineer are trying to fix it soon.
Best regards

 

[FiiO]

Switched to APTX HD and it’s not happening so far.

Dear friend,
Thanks for the kind feedback. We have reported to the engineer and they are arranging to test more. Hope they could fix this issue soon.
Best regards

I have the same issue when playing various mqa and non-mqa tracks from Tidal app on iPad Air 5 and iPhone 13 pro max.

Dear friend,

Thanks for the kind feedback. We will report to the engineer to try and test about this first.

Best regards

I’m curious, do most devices work that way in China? Maybe it’s due to a cultural difference.

Dear @FiiO
I have upgraded to new firmware today and now MQA does not show bitrate (various tracks from various artists from Tidal app on iPad air 5).
Rebooted, factory reset done - issue is there.
See attached photo.

Dear @FiiO what about this issue?

Has anyone else notice the BTR7 has a V shape sound signature? I can distinctly hear elevation in both the bass and treble where I did not hear it before. It sounds like way more than just filling frequencies out. On the P1Max IEMs, it makes the treble fatiguing.

I am thinking about the DAPs like the M11s or M11+

@FiiO
It would be very nice if we could get the artist, album and song title information / runtime / progress bar to display on the BTR7.

In a previous post several pages ago I mentioned that both ends of the frequency spectrum to my ears sound like they are slightly boosted, kinda like an old school loudness button, maybe only a couple of dB but noticeable.
M11 plus does not boost any frequencies.

I am glad to hear the M11 plus does not have any kind o boost. I am seriously thinking about getting ones of those and returning the BTR7.

I went from a BTR7 to an M11 Plus! If you have any questions about it, lemme know. I still have both. Although, I swapped for more battery life...
