The R7 delivers premium sound thanks to its high-quality components. FiiO R7 features the ESS ES9068AS digital-to-analog converter, which supports PCM playback up to 768kHz/32-bit and DSD512. The THX AAA-788+ headphone amplifier, developed in collaboration with THX, includes two blocks of this amp scheme, providing powerful output of 3,000mW (at 32 ohms/balanced output) and a low noise level with a 122dB signal-to-noise ratio. It offers up to five gain settings, a 4.4mm/4-pole XLR balanced headphone output, FiiO's first XLR line output, and a LAN port.
Independent amplifiers process the left and right channels, resulting in improved channel separation and reduced interference from components. High-quality components such as Panasonic film capacitors and high-capacitance tantalum capacitors are used in the circuitry.
The R7 is powered by Qualcomm's 8-core Snapdragon 660 SoC, which delivers low noise and high stability, along with 4GB of RAM. FiiO R7 supports bit-perfect playback of various applications and runs on Android 10 with FiiO's custom operating system.
The R7's DC power mode is available to enhance sound quality with a high-quality external power supply. It features a microSD card slot that supports up to 2TB and can also read files from USB storage devices.
