For the field of portable non-destructive player, domestic enthusiasts have formed two distinct factions. On the one hand, they are advocating the trend of Faith Faith. The listening equipment around them is naturally an international big name like sony and iriver. It is determined that the domestic products of audio products are more reliable and pragmatic. The basic goods of their homes are mainly Fibonacci (HiFiMAN) and well-known national brands such as HiFiMAN. Of course, there are also the minority who are willing to go for a double repair. The author believes that the existence of such a watershed, the main reason is that the design of foreign brands is more sensational, saying that the show out forced a bit higher; and domestic brands are relatively design cramped, not so fine It is elegant, but the most practical advantage is that you can use a more affordable price in exchange for a better sense of hearing. Isn't buying nondestructive products just to pursue a more enjoyable listening experience?
Feiio (Fiio) X7 Android smart lossless music player Yi Xun sells for 3998 yuan
For the hope of fish and bear's paws, the author wants to say that the joke that once plagued domestic players like bricks has gradually evolved into the past, at least in the products that the author is familiar with. It can be demonstrated from the gorgeous changes of its recent products, especially the flagship of the six new products released this fall. It can be said that Feiao is now the dominant player in the X7, and it is also a redefinition of the domestic lossless player. With the new benchmark, the atmosphere has dared to break away from the embarrassing situation of the country without design.
| Design
The first face to face change is to get rid of the past, red and black color tone of the packaging design, the use of a darker and more pure black packaging background, with the product's renderings rather international manifestations of calm and introverted; and living in the top right corner of the box to support 384K /32BIT rate format The DSD file's small sticker on the contrary is very eye-catching, implied the powerful decoding performance as a flagship flying machine.
The flying proud X7's three-dimensional size is 130mm (H) 64mm (W) 16.6mm (D), weight 220g, compared with their own X5K width is basically the same, the thickness due to the back of the non-planar design, can only say that the thick part is only higher than the X5K 3mm or so; and more chin position is the design of the replaceable amp module, is also one of the patented design with great personality and bright, I believe that later FiiO will launch multiple sets of listening style program modules for different preferences of people to choose, This also intangibly increases the playability of the X7.
In addition, the integrated body design of the X7, the material used in the selection of the same Iphone 6S 6061 aviation aluminum alloy, the frame and the back of the sand blasting, the front part of the amp module is a metal wire drawing process, while the edge down The horns, through grinding and diamond-cutting, shape the overall performance in terms of visual impact and durability. Not only that, but also in the front between the body and the amp module added a dozen strokes of blue reflective breathing light, looks full of future technology.
Different from the uniform and flat design of the previous generations of Feiyou products, the X7 has a slight increase in the thickness of the fuselage due to the more complex design structure inside. However, the author guesses that factors such as level aesthetics may be considered. Pride or as much as possible to reduce the thickness of its compressible top to reach the visual difference as everyone sees, it does not seem relatively dull and heavy sense.
Of course, as the first professional player for Android/Silent Repair, you may worry that the limitation of the SRC will be a bottleneck affecting the quality of professional players before understanding its audio architecture. However, Feiao has made clear its position. The X7 uses its own music app to monopolize the system audio path. It can completely bypass the SRC of the Android system and achieve the original sample rate output to ensure the lossless output of the sound quality. More interesting is that if you do not like the Android desktop menu and system loading, you can choose pure tone mode, return to simple and direct audio player listening to songs.
Since the X7 is an Android-based device, consumers must pay attention to the hardware configuration that supports the system. The first screen uses a 3.97-inch 480800 resolution IPS touch screen, and also supports the unique "flying proud gesture". Manipulation; equipped with Rockchip's RK3188 quad-core processor in terms of core control, which is a processor with good balance between performance and power consumption control. Currently, the security Bunny runs around 2.4W in the Android 4.4 system, so it responds to X7. The player-related functions are completely redundant; however, the 1GB LPDDR3 memory used in the memory is slightly conservative. It may be more desirable for users to be able to standardize to 2GB. Fortunately, FiiO has designed whitelist restrictions at the X7 system level, except for limited In addition to several music apps, games and social communication software cannot be installed. At the same time, there are also pure tone modes mentioned by the author.
Returning to the essence, specializing in surgery, as the current high-end player flying proud flagship level, then X7 hardware solutions used in audio technology has what skills? The first DAC (decoder chip) has chosen the ES9018S, which is currently recognized by the industry for its price and quality. The DAC is designed for 8-channel and can provide extremely low noise floor through 4-channel parallel connection and support 384K/32BIT code. The rate format, in terms of sound quality, focuses on high-fidelity resolution, and has not been intentionally enhanced in terms of sound quality. This is a common method of adjustment for international high-end audio equipment.
In other words, there may be misunderstanding that consumers may mistakenly believe that ES9018 decoder chip is similar to some music mobile phones. In fact, music phones use ES9018K2M, which is a low-voltage version with reduced performance. It is like being familiar with laptop processor. Suffix M and U performance difference! The OP (op amp) chose the Texas Instruments OPA1612, which is known for its stable balance. This more classic HiFi-class chip is also a reliable combination with the ES9018S DAC. Of course, this is only a standard amp module solution. Mention that the amp can be replaced.
In the functional layout X7 uses symmetrical physical buttons on both sides of the fuselage, and supports the customization of key functions. The default left side is the volume increase/decrease and power button, and the right side is the song switch and play/pause button. It should be noted that although the current X7 body has 32G memory, it still has a TF card slot on the left side of the fuselage to support the maximum 128G memory capacity expansion.
In terms of output, still equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack and coaxial interface, and headphone output support in the system to select high and low gain, and the previous release of the player is the difference is this time the headset interface design in the fuselage Below, the Micro USB is next to the charging data port. In addition, if you want to replace a different amp module later with the included special screwdriver to remove the T5 screws on both sides, follow-up opportunities to replace the amp module experience and then I disassemble the show for everyone.
System Interpretation
To say that Fei Ao's first Android-based smart lossless player product, the system UI does not have fancy theme collocation, it seems that the style is closer to the Android native system. However, in reality, this is an Android system that has been deeply customized and streamlined. The actual performance in terms of fluency, stability, and power consumption was satisfactory during the author's experience. Of course, if you just want to simply listen to songs and don't want to use the Android desktop, you can switch to FiiO Music to start the desktop in the system startup mode menu. You can even switch to pure audio mode if you do not plan to download other online applications.
At present, the latest official version of the system is FW1.0. Its Android version is 4.4.4. Although it is not the current mainstream 5.X version of Android phones, it has no effect on professional audio players. The operation of switching the pure tone mode is not complicated. A menu list will appear in the upper right corner of the top of the slide. The first item in the menu will show the current mode. The trouble is that if you want to switch to the pure tone mode, you need to restart it. Effective. In addition, in the audio setting menu in the system, the current wired control switch, line or coaxial output switching, and the high and low gain and channel balance are mainly related to the audio function options.
X7 firmware upgrade is very simple, copy the firmware to the memory card, open the "Technical Support" APP on the desktop will be able to find, while the APP also provides some exchange, feedback platform approach, a series of user-friendly Consideration also highlights the attitude of the big factory. In terms of power consumption, the optimized system, together with the 3500mAh lithium polymer battery, can basically guarantee about 9 hours of working life. The system currently provides a licensed APP, which is the white list mentioned earlier. For the sake of system security and stability, only APPs in the white list can be installed at the moment, but it is necessary to worry about such things as QQ music and Netease cloud music. , Baidu music and other domestic mainstream music applications are supported, but also access to Poweramp, Rockbox such prestigious Android professional audio player, but want to install forced to install QQ, WeChat and other social applications, then dispel Think of it.
The above is the playback interface of the system's own FiiO Music, Seashell Music and Netease Cloud Music APP. It seems that listening to local lossless music comes with the system or Seashell music is a good choice, especially the original DSD file , Seashell music support is very good. Of course, online music individuals are more inclined to recommend NetEase cloud music. The richness of their resources, the smoothness of online play, and the bit rate of audio files are among the best in the online music platform. It is worth mentioning that many online music APPs support DLNA-based music push. It is a fresh experience to use X7 to push music to home WiFi speakers under the same wireless network.
Subjective sense of hearing
The author as a proud loyal powder from the old X3 all the way over, but also considered a general realization and fell in love with the flying proud of the tuning orientation, it should be said that the original intention to go high-fidelity listening style has not changed in general, which is also a comparison of domestic enthusiasts Some controversial places, some people like to focus on the analysis and restoration of the real small fresh, there must be someone who likes the flavor of warm and sweet and rich flavor. Of course, this is not right or wrong on the subjective intention of listening orientation. What I want to say is that at least the arrival of X7 has an easy solution to take care of different flavors of Shaoyou. It is to replace different amp modules. In addition, you can also consider using the K5 desktop amp from FiiO to try it out. I believe that all the surprises brought by this will make you sincerely love it with the author.
So simple on the current standard AM1 (IEM) amp module, in the high-gain settings, with the author around the most commonly heard of the iron triangle MSR7 headset and Da Yinke DN2000 ring iron earbuds, front-end comparison Feel proud of your own X5K as a reference.
It should be certain that the thrust of the AM1 (IEM) amp module is not X5K large, which also leads to a small volume of the same feeling X7 sound pressure will be relatively small, so even so, listen carefully to the author found that the details of the initial listening X7 And permeability is relatively good, but also confirmed that it can be called a high-resolution capability, while the density and extension have laps of charm features, especially in the performance of high frequency tracks such as the violin, X7 better The clean and clear interpretation of the classic earrings and gripping classic string tracks; and for the low-frequency author in listening to some drum music found that the amount of feeling is still showing a tepid rhythm, there is no shock to the meat hammer, but also Without a sense of chaos, it is more control over transient and dive capabilities.
IF vocal aspect of the author has a feeling of deja vu, that is the voice of the old X5, although flying proud of the main line has been monitoring the bias, but have to say in the X5K upper balance tilt, with relatively warm tuning, However, when the X7 was launched, it returned to the beginning of the heart and used the most authentic and straightforward quality to reproduce the timbre of every singer. Of course, the lack of tone tuning may not be satisfactory for every enthusiast. The ambience effect of the sensation is also influenced by the current amp and headphones. Fortunately, looking for opportunities to match more amp modules for the future will leave me with deep thoughts.

X7 hands also experienced 1 month to come. It should be said that every generation of audio products of Feiao's home has been continuously improved. Besides, its level of craftsmanship has always been among the best in the country. In the end, the author believes that it is also gradual and progressive in the slow fire to refine pure, non-destructive player this is a relatively niche followers, in the face of mainstream homogenization of the tuning, Feiao can adhere to the beginning of the heart, has been relying on To restore the most accurate and accurate sound, to create a high quality fidelity analysis of the tuning style along the way, and ultimately won a big fan of loyal fans at home and abroad.
Then the author of this flagship machine for everyone to share the flying X7, as positioning near the 4000 price of high-end professional lossless player perspective, there is still a lot of attention and laps advantage of selling points, perhaps for the early entry of audio enthusiasts On the other hand, it is impossible to understand the passionate attachment of fans, but as a more traditional fan of flying arrogant fans, it is self-evident to see that the national brick represents the brand's improvement and change. Who would have thought that listening devices under the Android system can also play true HiFi, who would have thought that the fixed-set country bricks can play amp modular changes?
It should be said that the cross-border creation of the Flying Proud X7 is considered to be an innovative attempt and success, which will inevitably lead to a new round of changes in the country's brick. It is more likely to arouse the wave of the HiFi mobile phone industry for consumers. It must be a good thing, but why should there be more choices and fresh play under the premise of listening? Failure, personally considered unlikely, unclear "HiFi" mobile phone has already made a preliminary popularity for the majority of music lovers pave the way, then the real HiFi Corps follow the trend to make the next disk man, also for the majority of music lovers Advanced upgrades provide a stepping stone, do not believe? Try to know!
