#True Balanced THX Headphone Amplifier, FiiO Desktop Little Bomb K7# P1
Since its launch, the FiiO K5 Pro has been welcomed by users with its compact size, robust output power and competitive price. In fact, our users have kept urging us to increase the balanced output. However, due to chip supply shortage in the past two years, it took us great effort to replace the DAC chip. So we had less time for new product development.
Fortunately, we made it this year. The K7 is expected to enter the market in September. Although the housing is the same as the K5 Pro, the inner structure has been greatly adjusted. The headphone output is a four-way true balanced amplifier structure. In addition, we have also designed something new for the appearance, esp. the light effects.
I would like to show several light effects of turning on. See if you like them or not.
The first design is a loop of iridescent lights showing up when the K7 turns on, and then the light will turn blue.

Please make the volume notch illuminated. So you can see the volume level in the dark. Very useful for late night listening.

Dear HiFiRobot,

Thanks for the kind feedback. We will report to the product manger about that as well.

Best regards

This new product looks really promising, I own a K5 Pro (the original AK4493 based), and for headphone listening it's really good, it has become my daily DAC/HP amp since more than a year ago, and this keeps the already succesful formula adding new useful features.

However, there's a feature that I've missed with the original (and also with the ESS based sucessor), a fixed line output (pure DAC), in addition to the pre mode. Seeing the front of the new K7 unit, I see that the input switch has been replaced with a push button, and there's a new switch that has 3 positions (LO, PRE and PO), is this switch for changing the behavior of the line output?.

Also is there an estimate MSRP for the unit?, if the price is reasonable, count me in, I'll buy one when it gets released.

Best regards.

What DAC chips?
Also needs the option to turn off lighting since it can be a distraction
