FiiO X7 Mark II Portable High-Resolution Audio Player (Titanium)
MPN's:
The sound is astounding
I bought this player after having the FIIO X5 MkII for awhile, and the sound is head and tails better. I am listening to it through a pair of NAD headphones, and while not the best cans you can get, the sound coming from this little device is absolutely stunning. I hooked this up to my computer audio system that is a pair of self powered studio monitors with a Yamaha studio subwoofer through XLR cables and I couldn't be more impressed with the so... Show More

Good sound but terrible interface and cost/value ratio
I compared the X7ii to my X5ii which cost me a fraction of what the X7ii's price is. I listened to Lindsey Sterling, Pentatonix, Pat Metheny and various other jazz, classical, pop and rock recording.

Good Sound Quality
It has a little less power than the X5 but that is not an issue for me as I have the FiiO A5 external Amp. However, paired with Hifiman Edition S headphones, the X7 has more than adequate power. The improvements in sound quality are worth it. I have experienced a few software lockups that are to be expected in a new product.

Good sound but could use an external Amp
I enjoy the sound quality but the battery life is limited when using multiple Apps. I like the fact that I can download streaming applications such as Naim and Tidal Apps to the device. And I like the dual memory card expansion slots. All in all Im satisfied.
