Thanks, too bad that the only ETA they provide is "Coming Soon". May be it's more prudent to wait a little.

It will be available in US market at about next month if everything goes well. Thanks for waiting!

Best regards

Well, since Audio46 is an authorized distributor in the US I believe they will be one of the first to get inventory (August I believe) so we shall see. They don't charge for the item until they ship so I could exercise other options if they appear sooner.

Hmmm - just worked for me now. What browser are you using?

@FiiO This and hopefully support for Aptx Voice under the Aptx Adaptive part?

@FiiO what say you?

Dear C4PPY,
Sorry I do not understand this question clearly. What feature would you need?
Best regards

An extraordinary view, into the power of sound! FiiO's Portable Bluetooth Amplifier BTR7 Is Officially Released!​

Travel freely in the HiFi audio world! The brand-new high-end portable Bluetooth DAC/Amp BTR7 features the seventh-generation mecha design language, giving it riveting looks. Its comfort-and-ergonomics optimized laminated aluminum alloy body is paired with a 1.3-inch IPS color display that is the showpiece of the BTR7. The display features a brand-new, colorful UI that presents important information such as volume, power, gain, and audio format in an intuitive way – just another part of the BTR7's brilliance.

As one of the high-end models, the BTR7 features the ES9219C in each of the left and right channels, which is paired with a low-pass filter and an amplifier in a highly-optimized audio architecture that captures every last detail and dynamics in your music. And with support for MQA, your music will definitely come across clearly and boldly. In terms of the amp structure, the BTR7 is the first portable Bluetooth amplifier to utilize 2 of the THX AAA-28 amplifiers. The FiiO R&D team had a breakthrough and was able to fit 4 channels of the THX AAA amplifiers into a compact body for a fully balanced audio design – resulting in 88% more single-ended power output and 30% more balanced power output compared to previous designs. Experience an extraordinarily bold symphony of music with the BTR7.

For Bluetooth DAC/Amps, a high-quality DAC makes great sense. The Qualcomm QCC5124 Bluetooth chip adopted in the BTR7, with its dual DSP and dual-core CPU architecture, not only ensures stable connections but also supports both high-res formats like LDAC/aptX HD/aptX Adaptive and more common formats like AAC/SBC. Moreover, the BTR7 adopts FiiO's own patented seamless metal frame antenna design, which not only looks handsome but also ensures Bluetooth connections are more stable and interference-free.

Not just a little fun. As a multifunctional Bluetooth amplifier, the BTR7 needs plenty of battery power when used throughout the day. Not only has the battery capacity been increased to 880mAh, but both wired and wireless charging supports allow you to charge in more scenarios. USB wired charging is fast and efficient, while Qi wireless charging is convenient.

Keep features of the BTR7 include:
--Color IPS display
--High-performance DAC ES9219C*2
--THX AAA-28*2 amps
--Qualcomm QCC5124 Bluetooth chip
--XMOS XUF208
--Wired+Wireless charging support
--3.5+4.4mm outputs
--One-click "dongle" mode
--Supports app control and OTA upgrade

We where looking for if the BTR7 was Snapdragon Sound certified? And if the AptX Voice part under Aptx Adaptive was supported?
Much like what is done on the UWTS5.

This is like a mini-q7.
Fiio is covering all ground of dac/amp. Good jobs.

Looks very interesting to me as well. I really like my BTR5 and this looks like it adds a lot of what I feel the 5 currently lacks. Cool.

Sorry Everyone, Sorry @Jeff Graw :


Thank you for calculating the 84% value, which I really haven't done before either. It's just how I feel in my hands. Maybe I've been doing a lot of larger products lately and haven't paid much attention to that.

That doesn't look like an 84% difference. Either there's some weird optical illusion going on or I think someone's math is off lol.
I just did the math and it's a 58.4% difference. Larger a difference than it initially looks. Just by the eye test I would have said 25-30% so I can see why someone would say it's slightly larger.

EDIT: I was calculating the difference in size. He was calculating the increase in size. So nevermind the math is about right.
