Use the LO Volume option in the main menu. You can set it to fixed or adjustable.

Go to main menu, highlight LO Volume , enter the sub menu and select Fixed level.

I assume that you have already selected BAL output and you have set it to LO.

Absolutely awesome! I totally overlooked that.

Thanks a million!

@FiiO Willson is there a way of remotely controlling the LO on the Q7? I'd like to connect it to a power amp for stereo speakers when not using headphones. The stereo amplifier does not have a volume control, so the Q7 will be a preamp stage, but I don't think the volume has a remote control?

BTW, I was apparently wrong a few days ago when I stated that the PL50 linear power supply was not available from any US seller. I found a trusted California FiiO seller on eBay who had new US version PL50s at somewhat less than the AliExpress price and, even better, offered free shipping with USPS. I ordered it on Monday and it arrived here in New Jersey (about as far across the country as you can get if you are unfamiliar with US geography) this morning (Friday). But the funny thing is that I plan to pair the PL50 with the Q7 and ordered it early before they disappeared (there were only a few left when I ordered, they're now all gone), but I can't order the Q7 until I get a check in about ten days. So I have a nice power supply with nothing compatible to power (though it does turn on). It's returnable for a month in case it doesn't work when I finally get the Q7.

Think this works to drive HEDDPHONE?

If you have a balanced cable then with the DC mode engaged I think that is the only DAC of its kind that can drive the HEDDphone, not at full scale but still very good.

Got it. Thank you!!

Hi,
Thanks for your support!
Q7 remote volume control is not done for the time being, if you want to adjust the volume, you can only go to the top of the machine to adjust the volume.

We will evaluate to see if we can add this feature

Well guys here are my subjective findings of adding the PL50 to the Q7.

Hello Knowlegable members,
I Just wondering as this unint can operate directly through AC Brick/ Power Supply,

- Is it possible to Use this product on A/C Mode without the battery ?
- Will Screen Turn On ?
- USE All 4 Input Methods ?

The component put into this unit may run 10 Years + without any accident but the Battery will bloat within 4+ Years, By that time Fiio may produce Q9 and Q11.
Please note Fiio Q3 and E17K just run fine without battery… I know those are pretty basic comapre to this as well as this is not possible with Andriod so not applicable for M17 but this unit is not running Andriod.
If this works then one less item goes to E-Waste.

You bring up some very valid points that are worth addressing.
I'm hoping the same. That when the battery goes bad, the Q7 will still manage to work powered from the external power supply.

Dear friend,

Theoretically yes but we did not test this usage yet. And it is not recommended to use the Q7 without the battery.

Best regards

Thanks.

I believe the main point was after the battery is dead and can no longer hold a charge, will the Q7 still work without the battery? Will the Q7 still operate directly from the external power supply with a dead battery?

LOL, I'm a little confused as well. The Q7 is specifically designed to allow the user to bypass the battery--it even has a toggle switch to do exactly that! I assume it will still operate in that mode even if the battery no long charges. Was the FiiO representative addressing the actual physical removal of the battery?

 

[Ab10]

I'm absolutely sure - Fiio Representative meant the physical removal of the battery because when the battery is no longer able to hold the charge or is not chargeable anymore, it definitely does not remain the same size or dimension anymore.

It looks something like this one which came out by pushing the back panel, In this scenario physically removing the battery is the best idea.
