Long time lurker, I got my BTR7 yesterday from Amazon US. I do not consider myself and audiophile but I do dabble a little. I previously had a BTR5 and used it with an IE900 as well as an AUDEZE LCD-X for my portable go to. The increase in quality is super apparent and I could nto be happier. Much fuller sound and much larger soundstage. It makes the IE900 so large I could not believe the difference.

Packaging was great, and I like the build quality. Quick question since such a nice screen was added how hard would it be to actually display track info? Also is there a setting to have the screen go on for a couple seconds when changing songs?

Overall very happy with this upgrade.

Other than the timer for how long display is on when you touch the buttons, I don’t think so. I think they meant this to stay in pocket (or at least out of the way) and have all of that information be displayed using your FiiO Music or the FiiO Control app.

3. How is the battery life of the BTR7 under LDAC Bluetooth?

There are some differences between different Bluetooth codecs. Please refer to the following test data for details.

1) AAC + Low gain + 3.5mm output: About 9 hours

2) LDAC + Low gain + 3.5mm output: About 8.5 hours

3) AAC + Low gain + 4.4mm output: About 8 hours

4) LDAC + Low gain + 4.4mm output: About 7.5 hours




14. If the BTR7 is used as a dongle DAC with the charging switch off, how long is its battery life?

It has about 4.5 hours for the 3.5mm output, and about 4 hours for the 4.4mm balanced output.

Hi, I just wonder why the play time as a dac/amp is lower then being a Bluetooth transmitter. I'm thinking that in Bluetooth mode, the dac and amp are also working alongside the Bluetooth module! Or is that the dual ess9219 is not working in Bluetooth mode (relying on qcc5124 instead) so power is conserved?

Sorry if this has been asked before. Thanks!

Seems Zeos is suitably impressed like most of us here, the BTR7 is a great product one that the FiiO engineers rightfully should be proud of

Btr7 can drive two earphones at the same time?

No, BTR7 support only one earphone output at the same time.

The priority of the two interfaces is:
If you plug in a earphone A first and then another earphone B,the later plugged earphone B will be output first.
When you unplugging earphone B, earphone A will have output.

Hi from India.
So @FiiO Wilson, has any seller from India got these booked? Don't see these available on any of the indian sites. Even Fiio India site has not listed ut yet?

Regarding long PEQ discussion, pardon my ignorance but won't PEQ on player itself won't provide another way? Or the requirement is to have player independent but BTR7 tied PEQ settings?

 

[aneprash]

Not available in India?

Btr7 can drive two earphones at the same time?
I tried btr5 which drives only one pair of phones at a time.

Dear friend,

No, when PO and BAL port are inserted at the same time, PO has output and BAL has no output.

Best regards
