Placed my order just now because of this!Ok, so briefly how to take H7 apart:
!!Warning!! We do not recommend taking apart our devices. If you facing any issues, reach out to your seller within warranty or directly to us if the device is out of warranty. Proceed with this only at your own risk.
1) Take out both wheels. Simply pull them off, they are hold in place by friction and plastic spacers.
2) There are two brass rings around the volume pots, unscrew them.
3) Simply lift up the front panel.
4) Now the main boards can be pushed out of the aluminium frame. Push carefully from the front (display end), the boards will come out of the rear(RCA connectors end), with the back panel still attached.
!!Warning!! The PCB is connected to the frame with one cable for the antenna, at the rear and on top side. It's a small coaxial connector, disconnect it before pushing the board any further.
Now you have the boards out of the device and can do whatever you want with them.
For the batteries, they are hold in place by lines of glue connecting them to both of the boards and they are soldered in place by two posts. Exchanging them is fairly easy, but you need some basic repair skills.
No, it's only receiver.
You mean the velvety pouch that comes with the H7? I use it with my H7 and even with M9 and haven't seen any problems with pain coming out of it. But I didn't tried to soak it yet.
Insides of H7 are not glued, they are just fitted, with some additional foam on the edges.
We always try to help users if they decide to repair their device by themselves. Not sure why you have such a pessimistic view of us.

Thanks anyways, i appreciate your comparison very much!Yes, you compared them an im very thankful
How close is the H7 and Mojo 2 in sq? The mojo 2 is very attractive because of its EQReceived my H7 today. The unboxing experience was very minimal, would have been very happy if it was with a leather case which is definitely required for this master piece.
Intial sound impressions: Got the wow factor after many months probably after a IERZ1R and now again. Every song I played put a smile on my face.
Paired with SENN IE 900, FIIO FDX, FINAL AUDIO E5000. All 3 sounded well and bought the glory back for my picky IE900which was not having synerygy with chord mojo 2.
Excellent SQ, sound stage and very powerful.
I previosly owned SHANLING M8, Ibasso DX300 - amp 11, amp 12, amp 13. At present, I own chord mojo 2, Fiio K7.
Out of all, I loved shanling M8 the most, now H7 which is a much upgrade for me interms of SQ from M8. H7 is not as warm as M8, but this will be the upgrade for any one who loves M8 to the core of the heart ( atleast for me).
OK, thanx! It seems i need to pass then. Last time i compared my M8 to the sp2000t, the M8 won hands down. Even on full tube setting the sp2kt was too aggressive and sharp. Not only that, the M8 won against AK Acro ca1000 and that was confirmed by 3 other guys in an audio shop (including the seller).
I compared the Mojo 2 to the M8 and the M8 is definitely better in everything. So unless the H7 is better than the M8, there is no point to worry.
This post makes no sense? I am not asking about the M8.
Someone posted that the H7 is a step up from the M8 several pages ago. So my conclusions are very mixed and i wanted to post the impressions from what i have really heard.
Thank you for the honest reply. Dang, I really wanted this but I really enjoy movies, live performances and music videos. Major bummer. Beautiful piece tho.
