How do the OTA updates work on this device? I bricked my last Fiio device when I tried to update. I'm thinking there must be some incompatible software on my PC that somehow messed the update up.

Would probably try out the btr7 if the update process is completely different from the KA3's process.

Dear jdan1457,

The firmware update for BTR7 is supported in the FiiO Control app.

When are you folks expecting Amazon, or the local Audio46.com store in NYC, to start carrying this?

I would like to try this out in person, see how much bigger it feels, and of course how it sounds, compared to my BTR 5 2021.

Will the BTR7 support EQ when using computer?

Dear fanteskiller,

EQ is not supported in UAC 2.0 mode. In UAC 1.0 mode or Bluetooth mode, EQ is supported.

Best regards

Now that I have the BTR7 at hand, it is kinda understandable how someone who doesn't know the exact number of dimension might have the impression that BTR7 is 'just a little bigger' than BTR5, as I have that feeling myself by the feel of it.

Also, i only get about 10 minutes into the listening but i am pretty impressed.

Interesting picture ! Thanks for sharing that.

BTW, How looks like the PEQ ?

It is more of a GEQ. While it works, I can't seem to be able to sync the setting between BTR7 and FiiO Control app (*they seem to work somewhat independently). Might be just a firmware glitch.

How is USB performance, better than W2 or about the same?

SQ difference compared with Ifi Go Blue and BTR5?
Worth getting the BTR7 if I got the BTR5?

PEQ is not yet released, but it is nearing completion of development.

The current one inside FiiO Control APP is EQ, and the upcoming PEQ is different，I feel a little more fun

Very respectable. I won't say its USD DAC performance is better than W2 or any of the first tier USB dongle, but it compared very well to lower 1st tier / upper 2nd tier USB dongle such as RU6 and Moonriver 2.

As far as BT DAC/amp goes, I think BTR7 is in the same ballpark as Go Blu and BTR5 on balanced output but with a bit more power. BTR5 however has a noticeably lesser sounding 3.5mm output of the three.

 

[JAFHIFI90]

Oh boy, interesting!
I have a lot of respect for FiiO in the BTR Bluetooth DAC series, but what disappoints me is the battery performance. I hope the BTR7 is an exception and gives a long life.
