My eq function recently stopped working as well with my btr7, which is using the most resent firmware and app for iOS. I will likely be returning mine before the return window closes since this was the primary feature I was looking for.
Perhaps I’ll try the shanling alternative - although the software looks strangely similar from the few photos I saw.
Qudelix 5K is the only portable I would recommand for PEQ, for that it's in a different league. It might sound extreme but it feels like at least 3-5 years ahead of the competition.
Hi. I’m contemplating buying either the Final Audio E4000 or 5000 to use with the Fiio BTR7. Is the BTR7 underpowered to drive the E5000. Someone on an another forum mentioned it. Want to be sure before buying. Thanks.

You won't have any problem driving Final Audio E5000 don't know what the sensitivity is but at 14 Ohms you'll be fine
Edit: 93dB sensitivity, single ended you may struggle, perhaps look at buying a 4.4mm balanced cable if you find output to not be powerful enough.

I dont think impedance is going to be an issue but sensitivity might be given its insensitive. If you were to use a balanced cable with the E4000/5000 power will not be an issue using the BTR7 balanced output

Not sure about E4000 or E5000 but E3000 sure is Arya v2 like power hungry! If with similar specs like E3000, BTR7 may not be able to drive them (E4000/E5000) to full like a desktop amp would. Give it a try before buy, if you can.
My Audeze Euclid sounds amazing with the BTR7. It has more than enough juice to easily power that planar IEM, especially in 4.4mm balanced mode with high gain.
BTR7 has enough power to drive most IEMs and headphones, except maybe a few truly power hungry planar headphones. It even has an extra high gain option in the FiiO Control app that you can switch on and off. That option might drain the battery extra fast though.

I don't know, but in my situation with a real instant A/B comparison with Wu Zetian Planar IEM between the FIIO BTR7 and NW-WM1A(modded by Nayparm with a load of huge capacitors) in LDAC mode, there is a significant difference between the 2 BT receivers.
Low and ultra low frequencies texture are so different with the same Planar IEM, that, unless I need to answer phone calls during listening music in my office, I never use the BTR7 and I always prefer to use the WM1A...
I would say the Power of the BTR7 seems to be there, for sure... but seems to be unable to move at best, the Wu Zetian planar in low/ultra low frequencies... Battery of the BTR7 is drained in less than 4/5 hours (while the WM1A can play at least 18 hours at same volume level)

I can chime in here really quickly. Just got my hands on the Serratus by @tgx78 and first off, absolutely incredible piece of audio equipment. They genuinely trade blows with the Monarch MKII, in my opinion of course. But the BTR7 on high gain at about 45/60 volume gets the Serratus to a respectable volume, they also sound fantastic to my ears. Plenty of power. Plenty of dynamics. Maybe it isn’t the best but we’re talking about a portable device that can fit in your front pocket, with a battery that’ll last about 3-4 hours on balanced, high gain.
So many years of improvements in between .. that for IEM, I have no doubt, I don't need any more to spend a 1K€ to 2K€ like I used to do .
Old WM1A is 600/700€ .. but the gap is still more significant than the gap is between new Planar's IEM compared to older DD like my IE900/Z1R
