FYI - FiiO also sells their own linear power supply - the PL50 - that is compatible with the the R7 (and also the M17, K7, K5 Pro, and certainly many other branded devices that have the same power requirements). It’s in the US$150 ballpark, but can sometimes be found a bit cheaper.

Mind you, I’ve seen the new K9 (only) specs, and it is damn near identical to the K9 Pro ESS model. Slightly different DAC (ES9068AS x2 (same as R7, although the R7 only has 1 DAC chip, not 2) instead of ES9038PRO x2), no USB-C connector, a *smidge* less amp power. Really identical otherwise (OK, no gold/silver trim on the knob, if you want to be extra picky).

I understand that with any Android device no matter the original bit rate/depth a streaming service is playing music, that Android limits it to 48khz. So that's what the settings are for in the R7, to bypass the Android limited resolution, which then makes whatever is playing into the R7 bit perfect. The R7 setting regarding DSD, makes an incoming signal, like 16bit/44.1khz PCM, and upsamples it to DSD. If you don't change the stock Android audio setting then the max resolution will be 48khz.

Thanks in advance for anybody commenting :).
@jayh8840 Жыл бұрын
Yes, I have been using it for about a week now. USB-DAC mode does add a bit of delay. The delay is at a point that I can notice it, but not a big deal. You may be more sensitive to delay than me. As a matter of fact, Fiio disabled the Bluetooth when using USB-DAC because they didn't want to add more delay than the Bluetooth might have. Hope this gets fix soon with updates.
