BTR7 Headphone Amp Bluetooth Receiver High Resolution Portable DAC Supports MQA/LDAC/aptX HD 384K/32Bit DSD256 for Phone/PC/Car/Home Audio

The Fiio BTR7 is a portable Bluetooth amplifier and DAC that can enhance the sound quality of your wireless headphones or speakers. It supports various Bluetooth codecs, such as AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX HD, LDAC, and LHDC, and has both 3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs. It also has a USB-C input that can be used as a USB DAC for your computer or smartphone. Pros: 1. It has a sleek and solid design, with a glass panel and an aluminum alloy body. 2. It has a color touchscreen that displays the battery level, volume, codec, and EQ settings. 3. It has a good battery life of about 9 hours, and supports both wired and wireless charging. 4. It has a THX power amping section that reduces distortion and noise, and delivers a clear and dynamic sound. 5. It has a USB DAC mode that supports up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256 formats. Cons: 1. It is larger and heavier than the previous Fiio BTR5 model, which may affect its portability and comfort. 2. It has a UI that is not modern enough to take full advantage of the color screen, as some users may prefer a more graphical or animated interface.

Top ranked product! Used with Sennheiser IE-600 .

Ummed and ahhed whether to purchase this, then lost my original BTR5 (which I really liked despite it's poor BT range), decided it was a toss up between BTR7 or Shanling UP5, I also use an ifi GO blu, (the price of which is now a more reasonable and I like a little variation). The BTR7 is a worthy successor to the 5, it's a little larger all around but not massive, still easily pocketable. Control is quite intuitive very much like the 5, but read the manual as the physical controls have dual functions. The presentation is great as always from Fiio (the Chinese do this so well) making unboxing a joy, in the box BTR7, a leatherette protective case, two short leads USB-C to C and USB-C to A and a well printed clear manual in multiple languages. In use. When first switched on, battery was at 75%, the volume however was very low even when turned up and switched to high gain, using the SE 3.5mm output, a firmware update fixed this, so be prepared to update to at least firmware V 1.88. Bluetooth operation has been improved over the BTR5, it transmits over a much farther range and no connection dropouts during use. External controls 1. mic at the top. 2. on/off menu select/exit, 3. Play, pause etc, answer/hangup, pairing, voice assistant. 4. Vol +, track select <, switch menus. 5. Vol -, track select >, switch menus. 6. Charging on off switch. Outputs on upper end 4.4mm balanced, 3.5mm SE. Single USB-C for charging and DAC usage on bottom end. Should you wish to use this as a Windows computer DAC a driver will need to be downloaded from Fiio site and installed first, if using with computer it may be necessary to plug phones/speakers into device prior to making computer connection. In use it sounds delightful, currently connected to iPad via BT and AAC, using balanced connection, settings source volume ~50% BTR settings, LOW gain, volume 30. Moondrop Aria, balanced cable, absolute perfection in all aspects of sound reproduction, from Black Sabbath to Beethoven! Tested with full size head phones Sennheiser, Sony to Koss KSC75s and various iems Shure, Sony, Moondrop to KZs. This little DAC amp has managed to produce great sounds at more than acceptable volume levels throughout my tests, with about 7+ hours useful battery power. Tested with these sources, Android phone and tablet, iPad and iPad pro, MacBook and Windows laptops, not failed or waivered once. On using the Fiio app, it's been "worked on" and has it's uses, it connects easily between host devices and the BTR7 to enable a few tweaks etc. to be made there are better apps supplied with other devices but there's not a lot in it. Conclusion you get what you pay for in most instances and I feel this is worth the price, recommended if you need a compact easily portable capable DAC amp that has sufficient bells and whistles with plenty of power.

Excelente producto muy bonito, Fiio hace buenos productos de audio, tengo el btr5 primera generación y tiene calidad de audio, el btr7 no desepciona.

Prodotto, per il mio modo di ascoltare musica, eccezionale . Unico inconveniente reperire il cavo per collgarlo all'amplificatore, non si trova facilmente. Nella cofezione é presente una bellissima custodia, come da foto.
