@FiiO and @FiiO Willson will you implement a way to controll the gain-Detting via app?
And will you implement a default (Start-up) Volume as an selectable option in the BTR7?

Dear friend,
1. You could switch the gain via the BTR7 directly.
2. We will report to the engineer for assessing first.
Best regards

Switching the gain in the device-menu and then opening the app for the balance boost mode is a little annoying.
The logic with holding or doubletapping the powerbutton is also a little elaborating.
More functions via app would make the userexperience much smoother.

Because of the hardware, it is not as smooth as the cell phone operation of these devices.

But if we add an operation system, the cost is bound to rise. This is the difficult point of making products

Dear friend,

About 1 month later if everything goes well.

Best regards

Can't wait. Kinda need one now.

Dude, I have SO MANY PROBLEMS with this functionality. It's ALWAYS a hassle trying to get into the menu system in this thing. Half the time it doesn't work. I'd like to see a DEDICATED Menu button on the device. (for those wondering, I transport the BTR7 from house to car and back and always have to switch the gain to "low" in the car)

When I connect it to my iPhone via Bluetooth. Should I max the volume on my iPhone and adjust volume via the btr7 or what would you recommend?

I do not use an IPhone but on my Android phone that is what I do. The phone volume to max and adjust with the BTR7. In my view by turning up yo max volume on the phone, you do not limit the sound quality which comes through to the BTR7. It is also more practical to use just the BTR7 to control volume.

Although, on the BTR5 I turned my phone up to one step short of max, as max volume sounded a bit spicy.

That is what works for me.

Max out the volume on the source, and adjust the final volume on the BTR7.

Think about it this way…. If you whisper and then amplify the whisper to a loud level it will not sound the same as amplifying a normal voice to a high level. You actually lose quality of the sound from the source if you do not max that volume out. (In case you are wondering about distortion from maxing out the source, don’t worry - that is a digital transport going from the source)

This week's video from Youtube's DankPods features the BTR7:

Not to mention that digital volume control actually throws away the least significant bits to reduce volume (amplitude).

I got my BTR7 today, and have been testing it for the last couple of hours. First impressions are good, but, a question:

What Blutooth codecs are people using on this? I found LDAC to be slightly problematic, giving slight, tiny stutters now and again. No problem with APTX, which is what’ll probably stick with.

Anybody else finding LDAC slightly disappointing with their BTR7? There only appears to be one option for LDAC, which I believe is fixed at 990kbps. No ‘Connection Priority’ or other bit rate options.
