Type C please. The selection of "nice" cables with that style of B connector is growing increasingly poor, and even if the difference is only aesthetic I'd like to feed the K7 with a nice cable rather than an ugly cheap-looking one.

Pretty much all "Nice" cables of past years were USB-B, no?

Fiio I mean its up to the producers how the future will be and i thin we should bury usb a and b and micro deep in the history 1 cable for every thing

Europe want to forbid apple to use lightning and force them to switch to usb c

I have on my desk usb c cable for my phone micro usb for my q5s usb b for my k5pro usb a for my laptop cooler

For what

 

[Kiba No Ou]

IMHO if the right side of the Box will have an USB-C port anyway in think that the back should have the USB-B, I don't want to throw away my Oyaide cable...

Like i fiio know. The blue ring on the volume dial is a led that will change is color for different sample rate. 1000%

yes, K7 will follow the same design as K3 and K5Pro.
The light ring color will change according to different sampling rate and DSD

Here is the more detail of K7/K7Pro, they share the same design but just the DAC is different, ONE QUESTION, do you want USB B or TYPE C on the back? Note, there will be another TYPE C on the right side of the box>>>https://www.facebook.com/chung.james.92/posts/2972176889557027

Since it already has a USB-C as you mentioned, I would like to have the other one to be a USB-B type connection.
BTW, Thanks @FiiO for including 3 Gain levels.

USB-c is overkill and will waste one USB-c slot on my desktop
If USB 2/3 can provided enough bandwidth why bother with USB C ?

You can use an USB A to USB C cable.

Why not the other way around ? What’s future proof about USB-c in this context ?

Its the way to go for most manufactor because it can put out a video signal, transfer data on both sides at the same time with with 40gb/s and if this is not enough it can load you device with 100watt and all these at the same time. Of course the device need to have a thunderbolt 3 connector. You can spot these when there is a little thunder symbol above your usb c connector

Still doesn’t answer... what’s future proof about USB-c in this context ?
does the k7/k7 pro use all the video signals and 100 watts of power delivery of USB-c ? Will it be driving eGPUs ? Thunderbolt disk Raid arrays ? Daisy chain thunderbolt devices ?

No it doesn't but the world should sort out unnecessary cable when there is one cable that can do it all that would save us alot

I think we can remain both USB B and USB C interface， the USB B is located on the back panel and USB C is on the right side. You can connect your smartphone with K7 through USB C more easily

Ok.

Is there already a approximate date and price for the release ?

We originally planned to launch K7 by the end of 2020. The engineer team are working hard to advance the K7 sales date to October，K7Pro will be December.
The current price cannot be determined because some technical specifications and materials have not been determined. Our goal is not low prices, but how to do better. Even so, K7 will not be higher than $500 US dollars
