Also very interested to buy one after reading your review, would be great to use as my music server and streamer.

Not sure yet if I order from aliexpress, or wait for a EU dealer to have it in stock...

Exactly. One UK dealer quoted me £849. Fair bit pricier than ordering from FIIO even after accounting for UK custom and taxes.

Yes to all three. I just finished taking all the screenshots/videos to showcase the FiiO android skin on the R7 as well as the FiiO Music app itself, it's going to be a looooooong review with lots of GIFs and photos. Hopefully will be done this week itself and I'll share the early preview here when ready.

Please! Can you check the "gapless playback" function? My M11 pluss ESS (same ES9068AS DAC) have a issue, a little gap between tracks. Thanks.

Anything about MQA support?

It's literally emblazoned on the back of the device!

I've unboxed mine today, will report over the next few days - it is a beast of a device!!

Dear friend,

If everything goes well, it will be available in oversea market at about March. You could check whether waiting 1-2month or getting one from Aliexpress store directly.

Best regards

Great!, any idea yet what the expected price setting will be in the EU market? Will it be sold through all the FIIO authorized sales agents?

Another question, are USB harddrives bigger than 2TB supported? I read that the SD-cards up to 2TB are supported.

I guess i can wait 1-2 months, this gives me time to organize my music library and correct all the tags.

Just submitted, not even proofread or published yet but I figured you guys are eager to get more impressions sooner than later anyway: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/fiio-r7-desktop-network-streamer-dac-headphone-amplifier/

After reading the whole review, I was tempted to buy this product - Let's see how much local taxes add up in my region once the Fiio Auth Dealer puts it on their website, but Ali X Price is just amazing to get right away.

Anyhow some silly ques pop up in the mind -

(1) The inbuilt screen got the option to turn off when the player is playing Audio files from the source? Just like our phones ?

(2) In the USB DAC mode/ Optical IN mode / BT receiving mode any lip-syncing issue occurred? Like Streaming Movies from another source such as Android TV box / TV / Apple TV 4k Box (BT Only) etc.

(3) Given the option is USB C display out just plug & play - As auto detect? Like : Once connected it instantly outputs the video signal without the need of looking / touching at the inbuilt touch screen, Is it possible? (Say the inbuilt screen is dead)

(4) Volume control knob is Analauge or Digital ?

(5) Any size Limits of USB HDD support ? Like max 4TB ? No NTFS ? etc

And where is the Fiio R9 - Any pic or video ?

Note: The M11 Plus FW1.0.3 fix it

+1 will wait to information about R9 before buying.
Will prefer K9 pro in for factor of R9 with roon ready.

Yeah, price was quite fair on this player, really digging the size, the form factor, the player capabilities end the power. I wonder if i can do away my Hifirose once this is in. Ali will take a while still but the order was been put in

I seem to have bought it from the Brightaudiostore on Ali, it really can be one confusing website

I'm curious how the volume knob works on this device. On the M17, the volume knob has fixed zero and max positions. If you're using Roon, and want Roon to control the volume, you have to disable the volume knob on the M17. Does the R7 work this way or is the volume knob purely digital and does it spin freely without fixed min and max points?

Thanks.

It is pure digital volume control so don't worry about it .

Im thinking of pairing one of these with the R7 using S/PDIF so i can do away my Hifi Rose RS250, its an awesome player but i could do with something smaller.

any thoughts?
