Want to listen to your music without having to get up? You can do so with FiiO's music app or a Bluetooth remote control, allowing you to control your music remotely and conveniently handle various operations with ease.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned audiophile, you can now create a desktop HiFi setup around the R7. You can also sync the R7 with other FiiO products to enhance the listening experience, opening the door to a world of desktop HiFi.

The R7 can act as your control center for accessing your music when connected to a NAS and playing music via DLNA.

It is Roon Ready certified, allowing you to access music from a primary ROON source such as a NAS or PC. What's more, the R7 itself can act as a network music server thanks to its support for DLNA streaming protocols. Through DLNA, on another device, music on the R7's internal storage, micro-SD cards and even tracks on a connected external portable drive can be accessed.

The FiiO R7 uses an ES9068AS DAC along with a pair of THX AAA 788+ headphone amplifiers. In addition, inside the R7 are other premium components, such as four Panasonic PPS film capacitors. No expense was spared in the use of superior components to ensure that the R7 faithfully reproduces your audio.

It integrates 5 gain modes and with a load of less than 32 ohms using the enhanced supra-aural headphone mode, the R7 is capable of generating up to 3W of power, more than enough to feed both low and high impedance headphones.

Inside the R7 is a 30W switching power supply. The AC input circuit employs high-capacity filtering and purification and dedicated high-voltage capacitors. The DC input circuit has a 12V high voltage power supply design.

Both power supply circuits contribute to the robustness of the power system, to better give that dynamic sound to your music. The R7 can also be used with external DC power supplies, such as the FiiO PL50 linear power supply or other power supplies to give your sound an even purer background so that musical details really stand out.

The 12 470uF tantalum capacitors help regulate and purify the power in the power supply and thus further reduce noise. In addition, the specially designed metal cover locks the transformer in place on the main board of the power supply, which reduces power supply fluctuation and results in more stable power.

Thanks to power stabilization and filtering in part because each stage of the audio circuit employs ultra-low noise LDOs for voltage regulation, the R7 is continuously supplied with stable, clean power.

The R7 is capable of many tasks, being able to act as a transmitter/streaming media player/decoder/amplifier/preamplifier. It effectively consolidates into one compact package what used to require many different devices to do.

This FiiO device is also highly scalable and can be easily connected to many other external devices, inviting you to further explore the limits of functionality.

Thanks to the 5.0-inch high-definition display and Android operating system, you can pleasantly experience the main transmission and other third-party applications. With the sleek and square R7 on your desktop, your desktop HiFi equipment comes to life.

Thanks to the included protective covers, you don't have to compromise on maintaining good looks for your great-sounding unit. Meanwhile, the honeycomb side vents serve as heat sinks and a futuristic touch, while the recessed rear panel means sleeker cable connections and less clutter.

Finally, the perfect WiFi/Bluetooth antenna packs a lot of capability into a mere square inch with customizable RGB lights to give your desktop setup extra personality.
