Fiio K7 Specs:
I use the FiiO K9 Pro ESS version and bought the FiiO K7 for my brother as a gift and wow it is pretty darn close to being as amazing as the K9 Pro in sound quality when I did some A/B testing. The buttons/switches are easy to use and great form factor for a desktop setup. The aesthetics of the K7 is much nicer compared to the other competition so it was a no-brainer to give as a gift! It's been about 18 months and it is still in perfect condition.
Solid DAC, was easy to setup, install the driver etc - using it was Grado RS1’s.
It's been a solid amp. Significant improvement over the Dragonfly Red I'd been using. I'd also had a Topping DAC/AMP which was finicky and very difficult to implement - the FiiO has been plug & play. I had a bit of a problem with Zoom, but that seems to be gone now. I love the switch that lets me use this as a preamp for my speakers OR as a headphone amp - no manual switching anymore. Finally, really noticably sound improvment. Sound is generally more spacious, more detailed. I've paired with a set of Sennheiser 660S2s and I couldn't be happier.
Great performer for not a lot of coin. Absolutely no complaints for the price.
I'm really enjoying this amp paired with my Drop 6XX headphones. The only drawback is the power adapter doesn't have Canadian electrical approval.
