Looks very good, the USB charge on/off button instead of two USB C ports like on M17 and optical in are excellent.

I was looking for this thread all morning! I hope this does get release with on addition, let Q7 act like a chord mojo/poly. Let user put music on it using a SD card, but let your phone navigate it.

We noticed what you said about a product like Mojo/Poly, but I don't think it's perfect yet.
In the future, we will make a better one out

But unfortunately, Q7 does not support SD card yet

Still interested in Q7 as it support blue tooth and that is good enough for me.

Question, Q7 is not a player, who does it have play, pause, next, previous buttons?

As bluetooth LDAC DAC connection, it's always convenient to have these buttons to navigate inside a smartphone playlist from the DAC/AMP, many DAP's can do that when set as BT DAC.

I have a few suggestions for the upcoming Q7.

1. To be able to run this off mains power as a desktop amp replacement when you are at home.

2. Crossfeed that is implemented just like this plugin. A simple built-in DSP chip could do this.

Where you can change the amount, angle, and the bass and treble.

This would enable users to be able to listen to their headphones as if they were stereo loudspeakers for more realistic music experience. I would pay more money for the Q7 just to have this. It reminds me of iFI "3D holographic" feature but sounds slightly different to my ears. I have heard the 3D effect on the iFI micro Signature and CanOpener stands pretty much toe to toe with this effect.

I honestly cannot listen to headphones without this feature as the stereo image is a "blob" inside my head instead of being in front of me.

I use the above plugin on my DAW and on the iRiver Media Player DSP plugins to recreate a fabulous loudspeaker presentation.

It is absolutely critical for headphone listening. I don't even see it as an optional extra since using CanOpener. To me it is essential.

If you have any question and suggestions, please feel free to share with us!

Thanks for photos! Looks great.

Metal body or plastic body? On photos, it's not so clear.

It's metal same as M17.

Really hope there is a wifi+roon ready version. Pricewise Q7 will be very competitive with room ready, vs. mojo 2+poly or hugo 2+2go.

Maybe in that case m17 will be an option?

Q7 more like Bluetooth/USB/optical-DAC. DAC usually does not include Wi-Fi or any streaming module.

Bluetooth - yep, to play via Bluetooth. For Wi-Fi - I can't imagine use-case. Stream from roon - To headphones? Why not DAP in that case?

My vision that 95% use cases are:
1) play on mobile phone with USB connected to q7
2) play on (mobile phone / TV / game pad / e.t.c. ) with Bluetooth connected to q7
3) play on PC/mac/laptop with USB connected to q7

roon for me, it is p3

 

[starouterspace]

Same use case as who ever needs poly or 2go. I'd like to bring an portable amp with me to any floor and control roon playback through my phone. That's it.

I think you can try our FiiO Control APP, he has more practical functions, such as EQ, filter, light adjustment, and so on more professional adjustment

We are already doing pre-research work on Wifi+roon, but it can't be implemented on Q7 at the moment

For now M17 is an option

But his proposal is also more reasonable for the user to have more options. In fact, we have also researched the product he said, maybe in the future we have time, we can make such product.
