Fiio R7 review: One network streamer to rule them all

It's not often that I get this excited about an audio product, but the R7 isn't an average network streamer — it does so much more. The versatility that you're getting here is phenomenal, and Fiio deserves a lot of credit for delivering an all-in-one solution with such an exhaustive feature-set.

Of course, $699 is a lot of money for a desktop audio player, but the R7 has so much to offer that it is an easy recommendation. It has a robust design that's built to last, you get all the wired connectivity options you want along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, and Roon integration, and the clean Android interface combined with the large screen makes it easy to navigate and play your favorite music.

The R7 does a brilliant job as a DAC/amp in its own right, producing a clean sound without any distortion. There aren't any downsides to the product; sure, I would have liked a 1080p screen and a more recent version of Android out of the box, but other than that, the R7 has been fabulous in every regard.
