Finally, received my Q7 just now, but I am stoned with this AC plug.
It is not a regular US plug, how can I use it for DC power.
@FiiO is it mistake? I see no adapter for the plug inside.

l bought it from hifigo, it is shipped from China.

Dear friend,

Thanks for choosing our product. This seller is not our authorized seller in USA. So he may not send the correct US plug for you since the US plug version is only available in our Aliexpress store currently.

Best regards

very strange, as chip itself XU316 support 16x MQA.
And the reason why it was replaced from XU208 was to support Full MQA decoder.
Maybe @FiiO could clarify - is it mistake in parameters, or it is really support only 8x MQA

Dear friend,

The Q7 support MQA 8x full decoding.

Best regards

Ok, then. Lesson learned.
Edit, applaud to hifigo whom refund me to buy adapter here.

It's just a digital filter (and a lousy one at that). Whether it's 8x or 16x will make no difference. You're still listening to lossy music tracks, which, depending on the era in which they were originally recorded, can even be fake high-res.

Didn’t find how to adjust gain level, @Currawong have you tried it yet?

Press and hold the knob button for a couple of seconds to pull up the menu and then Gain is the first option. When plugged in the ultra high gain mode will also be available. Now simply use the wheel to highlight the desired gain and press down to select it.

It's not proofread or published yet, but since there's not a lot of coverage on the Q7 I figured you guys might be interested in seeing the working draft of my review: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/fiio-q7-portable-desktop-class-dac-amplifier/

awesome . Does it considered as bright source?

Can anyone compares with the Gryphon? It seems like a very similar unit, but the on-board EQ is a definite plus, as well as all the extra accessories.

His videos are entertaining but sometimes he gets information so wrong that he looks very dumb.

Ifi diablo doesn't come with any of the ifi sound enhancements. He does this kind of things very often these days.

The IFI Gyphon comes with Xbass and Xspace.
I haven’t heard it so can’t comment on how good they work.

Thanks for that. I had no idea until I saw the video how staggering the size difference was. Now I guess I'll wait to see that new xDuoo unit.

Well, it's basically an M17 without one of the DAC chips, the large screen & Android...

Yeah, it is really big and heavy, but sounds good so far after a short listening session.
The THX amp is good.
