One particularly interesting thing on the BrightAudio Store listing is the "Skylight" version. I can't seem to find any other info on it elsewhere - I wonder if it's their (BrightAudio's) own in-house modification (i.e. not approved by FiiO)? Pretty cool though:

ya i saw that. Dont know if that is worth the extra dosh. I just went with the cheapest one I can get my paws on. Wonder if folks at Fiio can chime in on that version. looks nice.

Saw this awhile ago but wont fit on my desk so bought K7 instead, K9 Pro (ESS) Skylight Discovery Edition limited to 200 units FiiO special edition http://www.fiio.com.cn/newsinfo/759661.html

Cool looking limited edition. I went for a knock off Nordost USB cable instead. I am more about sound quality vs looks. Gotta maximize the bucks during sales days is my point. Will be interesting to hear the K9 pro vs the K7.

It says here that the K7 can reach DSD512, can someone confirm it?

Yeah thats wrong FiiO quote DSD256 for the K7
Edit: Just looked up the spec for AK4493SEQ it DOES support DSD512 https://www.akm.com/us/en/products/audio/audio-dac/ak4493seq/
@FiiO please confirm.

For some reason almost all reviews are about IEMs.

I was wondering how does volume control work with this if you hook it up to your computer and speakers? There is volume control:

1. In the computer
2. On the Fiio K7
3. And for me, also my active speakers (audioengine HD6)

Dear friend,

During developing the K7, we found that there will be noise when decoding some DSD512 and 768k music files. We did try to fix this problem via different methods but failed still. Currently, the amount of DSD512 and 768k files are still limited. So we did not add the DSD512 and 768k support in the K7 finally.

Best regards

Dear friend,

This version is only available in China mainland. Total stock: 200 pcs.

Best regards

My unit has just arrived, for the moment I am very satisfied with its performance, the sound is more organic, more complete, much more spacious and with more micro details than my Fiio Q5 Tc and my other Fiio K5 Ess. In its packaging it comes with a foam rubber ring to protect the rgb, for now I will leave it on until I get used to the lighting since it softens a bit.




ps: I don't know if it has already been said, but you can use the two headphone outputs at the same time,

@FiiO
Does the PL50 improve suound quality alot on the K7?

 

[SenorChang8]

Which Black Friday sale are you looking at for the K9 Pro? AliExpress, or somewhere else?

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't read to the end of the thread before responding.

Saw this a bit too late to cancel. I’ll pray to the QC gods there’ll be no issues with mine. Really looking forward to seeing how well they make my IEMs sing.
