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

[Nick24JJ]

Thank you, @FiiO Willson , for the detailed and kind explanation! I, as well, believe that the cable is faulty. I have tested the 4.4mm plug with my HOOK-X stock cable and it works fine. I just wanted to post here to make people aware of this issue. I have already emailed Penon Audio. I will most probably get a replacement,

I had no Problems with the 4.4mm female at my M11Plus ltd, Cayin RU6, BTR7, NX7 with 4.4mm male: Dunu, Gekerika, IMR, DD-Hifi (adaptor). So I would guess it's Pennons Adaptor.

I believe you

I never expected this to happen, especially since the PAC cable is highly recommended for the Tansio Mirai Sands. I have waited for 20+ days for this cable to arrive, now I need to send it back and get a replacement.

Just ordered the Fiio BTR7 after checking a lot of reviews and articles. I guess it was the right decision and will future proof me for a few months...if not years Till the upgrade bug bites again

I have a question about the EQ function: I understand that by turning the EQ function on, the volume is reduced in order to reduce clipping. However, it only does this intermittently.

Is there some reason why it would‘t drop the gain when activating the EQ?

 

[sunster77]

In fact I also had a query on the EQ. Connected via Bluetooth with my iPhone and on Spotify. All the EQ presets work but the user presets don’t. Am I missing something ?

First turn on the "Custom" switch, and then tap "Custom" to enter the settings.
I also have an iPhone, I have no problems with this operation, I do not know if you have tried this?（The screenshot I took is the Chinese interface, and the other interfaces are basically the same）

These are the pics of the english version from the Fiio website. The 3 user presets work on my android and they save by just entering the settings. However, if I reset one of the user presets, all 3 presets are reset. It would be nice if only the user eq that I am using resets and the other 2 stay unchanged.

@FiiO when is this case likely to be available to buy?

Dear friend,

About 1 month later if everything goes well.

Best regards

Hi @FiiO (and @FiiO Willson) - it’s now 1 month later. Any more word on the new leather case with belt clip?

Dear friend,

The iOS version FiiO Control app in the Apple store is not compatible with the PEQ adjustment of BTR7 currently. We will fix in in next app update. You could use your Android device to set the PEQ for help.
We apologize for any inconvenience in the meantime!

Best regards

Ok noted and thanks for this update. No wonder I was unable to hear any changes in the Custom EQ. Will use the preset eqs for now.

Dear @FiiO

Requesting the following enhancement if possible:
Would it possible to enable the BTR7 to route the audio through its USB-C port as well (which is currently only used for charging) when connected to our phone via any Bluetooth codec (LDAC, APTX, APTX-HD, etc.)? It would definitely help a lot to use those high fidelity USB-C type earphones that are now just lying around


Others, please feel free to add if you think it would make your lives useful. I'm definite that it will make mine.

@FiiO and @FiiO Willson Any thoughts/comments on this please? It would really help. I am pretty sure this can be achieved with software as the hardware is present since you ship the device with a C-to-C cable that can be plugged to receive the audio signal from it and communicate/handshake with the connected device. So why not just output to Usb-C headphone while the BTR7 receives audio from Bluetooth.
Just like connecting a headphone to one of it's port but instead of using 3.5mm jack for output, we are using USB-C for output.
