That was a great review and mirrors pretty much my observations of the BTR7 thus far. Out of all the newer gadets I have gotten this year I have to say the BTR7 gave me the biggest surprise. I am enamored by its power and sound quality. I will be writing a formal review myself but I am gonna doubt anyone that can clearly understand the level of SQ and own various sources can truely appreciate how well engineered the BTR7s are. Connecting a good resolving IEM through balanced from the BTR7 is so satisfying, there is no other words to describe it. I look forward to using this thing every day since I got it and that is a testament to how good this thing is. My IFI signature and Ibasso DX300Max both are kinda not liking me right now. lol.

@FiiO
i am very impressed by the specs of the btr7!
But a question comes to my mind...

Is there any chance, we will see an utws7 with THX AAA technology any time soon?

And maybe with 3.5mm connectors (something like BTA10)?

So we can make some over-ear headphones like beyerdynamic T5/T1, Denon AH-D 5/7/9200, Focal Elegia/Clear/Stellia, Meze 99/Liric, Monolith m1070c & so on, to a portable headphones?

I'm very sorry, it's still difficult to put THX AAA technology into a product like UTWS**, because at the moment THX AAA technology still takes up a lot of space, and I think it may take longer to meet your expectations

I was thinking of getting the btr7 or the Q5s for full size headphones.
Which one would sound better assuming they both can drive my headphones well?

I don't think you can buy the Q5s anymore unless second hand, it has been discontinued. Later this year there should be a Q5S pro version?

Which one sound better i don't know but the Q5s drive my Amiron Home very well in balanced mode. Btr7 is for easy to drive headphones and iems in my opinion!

There is going to be a FiiO Q7 later this year around October or November designed to drive full size cans.

Yes
I think Q7 will be a better choice~~

What about Q9, with dual DAC for true balanced output?
Any ETA, price on this one?

@FiiO there has been a lot of talk on this thread regarding a better case for the BTR7 than the one it comes supplied with. What is the likely hood and importantly time frame of there being a better quality and or more suitable case for the BTR7? Personally given how good the BTR7 is it would be nice to be able to buy a quality genuine leather case in brown similar to the one available for the M11 Plus with the ability to put a lanyard on it if required.

Dear friend,

We have reported the feedback about the leather case to the designer. Thanks for the kind feedback.

Best regards

If the below quote remains true, then Q9 = Q7.

Q9 model has been changed to Q7

There is no planning for Q9 yet.
Because the current Q7 is just a test for decoder market again, if the sales can reach the expectation, then we will consider to do Q9.

Q7 is using a single ES9038Pro, which also supports balanced output.

At present, our products that use dual DACs are all true balanced output. The K7 which will be available next month is also true balanced output!

Nice, will Q7 be available in India? I remember last year or was it the year before? don't remember exactly but I was trying to get the Fiio Q5s-TC and it was always out of stock. Hopefully Q7 won't face this issue.

The Q7 seems like a good competitor to the Topping G5, can't wait to hear more about it soon. In the mean time, anyone here compared the BTR7 to Go Blu?

@FiiO
Amir from audiosciencereview measured the output-power with 215mW @32 Ohm (balanced) with boost on. In the official parameters-list it's specified with "BAL about 320mW（32Ω loaded)". https://www.fiio.com/btr7_parameters

Why there is so a big gap?

Thx in advanced!

It is different way of interpreting the same data set. ASR says 'max power' in the meaning that the output power just before distortion increases significantly (*in this case, about -103dB or 0.001%), while FiiO typically posts output power of 1% distortion as part of audio industry common practice.

Dear friend,

Would you mind sharing the example of the PEQ you would prefer to us as well?

Best regards

Hi,
Apologies for mistake at my end I was using the Fiio Music App and not the Control App so wasnt able to see the full band EQ. It's all good now I like the control App simplicity and EQ bands are sufficient. Thanks.
