All-purpose Desktop HiFi Center, Feiao digital broadcast decoding ear-to-ear pre-all-in-one R7 ultra-long unpacking
unconsciously, this# all-round desktop HiFi center, the all-in-one machine R7# has been in my home for three days. It suddenly occurred to me that I had not sent the unpacking text to the new equipment in this study, so I quickly made it up today. Don't laugh at my long keywords, FiiO Feiao defines R7 in this way. In fact, this machine is indeed versatile enough (except that there is no post-stage amplifier-but since it is matched with multimedia speakers, this function is not needed). For the convenience of writing, I will call it "Feiao R7.
in fact, as Feiao said at the press conference, there are few companies that can be used as both a mainframe and speakers and can also send headphones. With the simultaneous release of R7 (host), FT3 (big earphone) and SP3 (active speaker), Feiao officially achieved a grand slam. They hope to provide a complete desktop audio solution through this set of equipment, but since I have no shortage of large earphones and speakers, I really focus more on Feiao R7, an all-in-one machine itself.
I remember when I made a video for KEF LS60 Wireless before, I said that as I grew older, I gradually lost the fun of "tossing equipment", but returned more love for sound to music listening itself. Originally, a lot of complex equipment has its own characteristics, but I am no longer keen on complex equipment matching and connection, but hope to obtain the simplest system architecture while ensuring sound quality.
, due to the integration of various functions such as digital broadcasting, decoding, earring, and front stage in one machine, this Feiao R7 can theoretically replace several devices on my desk. At the same time, compared with the minimalist combination of directly using "mobile phone active speaker", this equipment can have greater advantages in sound quality, control and scalability.
say a few points that I especially like to fly proud R7:
1. Vertical screen control: Although the 720p screen resolution of Feiao R7 is average, and the brightness and color are not bright compared with flagship phones, for an audio player, the vertical screen operation, especially in Android mode, is really friendly! On the one hand, I can maintain the app operation habits that are exactly the same as those on my mobile phone. On the other hand, the convenience of vertical screen in displaying lyrics and song list is obviously better than that of horizontal screen. To tell the truth, this vertical screen has actually greatly reduced the workload of Feiao system engineers in software UI, which can be said to serve multiple purposes;
2. Product Appearance: Due to the vertical screen design, the appearance design of Feiao R7 is definitely different from the traditional "desktop equipment. But in fact, at present, its size and overall appearance are really easy to integrate into the user's desktop-it will not affect the placement of other equipment on the desktop (besides headphones and speakers, more importantly, the computer screen), and the higher position of the control knob will not interfere with the operation of the keyboard and mouse.
, my family leader has been very dissatisfied with the situation of the equipment on my desk. This time, when she saw me replace several other equipment (independent decoder, earpiece and digital broadcast) with a Feiao R7, the desktop became tidy again. She finally nodded and affirmed: this machine is much better than those you used before...
3. Rich interfaces: Since it is an all-in-one machine, Feiao R7, which looks relatively simple on the front, has a machine back covered with dense interfaces, which I expected. However, what I didn't expect was that although its positioning was the middle end of the first SP3 speaker, Feiao still added a pair of XLR balanced output ports that looked "very occupied" and two sets of RCA LineOut to R7, as well as complete optical fiber/coaxial In/Out, which really impressed me. What surprises me even more is that its USB C port also supports DP video output, which enables me to watch MV and watch video with its external display. Coupled with the standard SD card reader and hidden WiFi/Bluetooth antenna, this machine makes people feel that the proud engineer is really paying attention;
At present, I put this Feiao R7 in my study. The speaker matched with it is the walker AirPulse A80, while the earphone is the HiFiman HE1000es and R10. Everyone should be familiar with these three devices:
the former is the only "small horn" that I can put on the desktop of my study, its rising design just complements the 7 inclination angle of Feiao R7. The latter two are respectively connected with XLR Carnongkou and Feiao R7. Only need to select the "high gain" mode in the Feiao R7 output to drive these two big headphones well-but in a couple of days I am going to try the "big ear mode" and "super big ear mode" with higher output to listen to the effect.
In terms of sound source, I installed "QQ Music" and "Apple Music" in Feiao R7, which just formed the "Iron Triangle" of the player with Feiao R7 's own "Feiao Music" app. The first two are mainly used to listen to online pop music (QQ is responsible for quantity and AM is responsible for quality), while the latter is actually used to play local high-definition music stored on NAS.
is worth noting two points: 1. No matter which app Feiao R7 is used, SRC is bypassed from the bottom layer; 2. Following different audio formats, the LED lights under the two knobs on the front of Feiao R7 will emit different colors. The specific rules can be seen in the pictures I released. In addition, although Feiao R7 allowed me to clean up many repetitive equipment on the desktop, I still left a simple small CD player connected to Feiao R7 through optical fiber. Well, although I can find online versions of these physical CDs in my collection, I still feel that only playing physical CDs can make me calm down and listen to an album completely...

watching videos or anything.
In addition, Feiao R7 also has the functions of Bluetooth transceiver, USB reading external hard disk, USB cable connecting mobile phone/tablet/computer for external DAC (sound card), etc. However, judging from the actual application in my home, these items are not used very well for the time being, so there is no connection at present. However, the USB C port (Type-C) on the back of the computer mentioned earlier supports DP output, and the operation of an external display made me play a little.
, since Feiao R7 uses Qualcomm Xiaolong 660 SoC, its performance is not as good as that of the current flagship mobile phone, but it is still enough to play a high-definition video by brushing a B station. I also used it to look at the MV built into QQ music, and I felt that the actual effect was really good. In addition, it can also directly install the "Green Union Cloud" app to read the video files on my NAS, so if you really want to use it as a "video host", it is not impossible (it is better to add a' one-key horizontal screen' function to the system menu)...
OK above is my this# almighty desktop HiFi center faets number multicast decoding amp stage machine R7# out-of-the-box of all the content of. As an audio product, I may need to play for a few more days before I release the following text on the sound quality/hearing of Feiao R7. However, I am still very confident about the sound quality performance of this all-in-one machine with ESS9068AS chips. Well, there are new products like Feiao R7, which can be played even if you don't go out this Spring Festival!
