Grat video! I saw your review and I was on the fence about buying it. Yor review helped me decide to buy R7. Could you explain how you got the VU Meter visualization on your R7 screen? Thanks for your review! 🎶🎶😎😎
It's from Amazon. Just search "Orico M2 case", and it'll show you options. Based on photos, R9 should be available soon, but it'll be much higher in terms of price.
Hi, have a question about your KB1, when you rotate volume knob from click to non click position and let it, does volume increase itself to max, same with deacrese volume. I have KB1 and this happen on Windows.
Hello. No, I don't experience this behaviour with mine using it with R7 (I don't have Windows machine to try). It registers only full clicks and changes volume step by step. I tried to rotate it slowly and hold in the "middle" position, but it did nothing until a full click
I haven't test UAPP here as I like FiiO's player (I'm in a minority here), but in R7's thread on head-fi many people discuss UAPP, so most probably it's working. As for a PEQ, FiiO added one to their music app too. I don't use Tidal as I'm Apple Music subscriber, but most probably it's possible. If I remember right, Tidal allows you to select where it should put cache, so it can be on SSD too (but I'm also not 100% sure here)
Great video! Many thanks! Ordered the KB1 already! :) And I am highly interested in the cable to make 3 USB C Ports available. But it seems I am not smart enough to find it on AEX. If you do not mind, are you able to share the link as well? :)
I just used "usb-c splitter cable" search on Ali, and it showed tons of them But I've seen many complaints about them, so probably not a full replacement for a hub Mine is working Ok, but I use it mainly for FiiO KB1/USB-C thumb drive
Hello, unfortunately I didn't have any suggestion here. I thought about getting some compact external screen (AliExpress has a plenty of offers), but I drop that idea after some thinking, extra monitor simply doesn't fit into my scenarios
no, R7 won't be OK for gaming, as it has a delay in DAC mode. you need to consider some DAC with a dedicated USB chip (usually XMOS) also, DACs usually don't have mic inputs
thank you! sure, it's 2 Tb I'm just old enough to remember the time of the first thumb drives that measured in Mb :) I has an avarage sized LG drive with 8 Mb (while biggest ones with 32 Mb were too big) So I remember that "we live in the next generation", but internall for me it's "gigabytes, not megabytes" :)
Great video, answers lots of questions that people have about what accessories can be used with the R7
Thanks! 👍
很棒的視頻，回答了人們關於 R7 可以使用哪些配件的許多問題👍👍👍👍
thank you!

Just tap the album cover, and this VU meter will be shown. FiiO players have this feature for quite some time
Great video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m thinking of getting the r7. I like your Samsung m2 ssd idea. Where did you get the case for it from?

Does uapp work with it? It would be nice to have peq. 😀 Also, do you use Tidal? Was wondering if you can dowload music with tidal to that ssd.

Found one! :)

@@PortaFi I am happy to share my own experiences once arrived. :) I also ordered the KB1. :)
thank you! waiting for that!
Thanks for your review, please do this in English and Ukrainian.
That’s exactly what I did
Hi
Can you suggest one 12 inch touch screen monitor - rotate to portrait mode for FiiO R7.
Best regards

My Mac is older and only has usb 3. Can I connect this to it?
If you mean DAC mode, then sure
Is this okay to be used while gaming I am using SENNHEISER HD 660 S headphones and Shure SM7B for mic.
no, R7 won't be OK for gaming, as it has a delay in DAC mode. you need to consider some DAC with a dedicated USB chip (usually XMOS)
also, DACs usually don't have mic inputs
@@PortaFi Thank you sir!
This thing is a player for people with NAS device on the network. Adding usb storage seems silly.
It definitely isn't. It works well with desktop HDDs and SSDs. Tower-like HDDs look cool near this player
What if Internet goes down😊
Weird question but can it work as Plex server?
I'm not familiar with Plex, but if there is a server for Android, it should work. It's just an Android device in terms of software (with a few tweaks)
@@PortaFi thanks👍
Quick correction.
Im sure you meant 2tb, not 2gb for the ssd.
thank you! sure, it's 2 Tb

@@PortaFi lol im old enough to remember loading my games on a cassette tape 😅.
@@Sharmac77 yep, I remember that too, but at that time USSR was in poverty, and having a computer at home was like owning a personal yacht now :)
@@PortaFi so not much has changed…… 😮😵
@@Sharmac77 computers became cheaper, and yachts more expensive :)
