FiiO devotes itself to providing solutions for enjoying music in different use scenarios. The R7 is designed to enjoy music from a variety of sound sources and media near the desktop in the office or at home with headphones or speakers. If you require more flexibility and convenience, our portable music players and DAC/Amps would be a better choice. In short, the R7 is an efficient, convenient HiFi hub for multiple device connections in single fixed use scenarios, while the 17 is an efficient, convenient hub for a single device connection in multi-scenarios.
Furthermore, we are not just designing a single device, but actually a complete set of solutions consisting of the desktop HiFi active speakers SP3, HiFi over-ear headphones FT3, multimedia keypad KB1, Bluetooth remote control, HiFi linear power supply PL50, etc.. These devices can build up a consistent and complementary system in function, appearance and sound performance around the R7. We haven't seen any brand/company with ideas like ours in this area yet.
In a sense, thanks to the R7's full range of connectors and powerful expansion functionality, we can also equip a monitor, a standard keyboard, and a mouse for it. In this way, the R7 can not only work as a music device, but also as a productivity tool and entertainment device for simple needs in the office and entertainment.
