[Fever Audio] [Uncle Chat HIFI] Feiao FiiO X7 MKII Player

FiiO X7 MKII has been released for some time. After listening intermittently for 2 months, I can express my personal opinions. At the beginning, there will be no twists and turns. It will be simple and crude to get to the point.

appearance

From X5III to X7 MKII,FiiO player products began to pay attention to brand recognition. X7 MKII adopted X5 MKIII and adopted many identical design elements in appearance, such as red ring decoration of power key button, border line, volume key scroll wheel, and hidden card slot design similar to most mobile phones at present.

Of course, the X7 MKII cancels the symmetrical left and right symmetrical key design adopted by the X7 generation, and places the play/pause key, volume wheel and forward and backward key on the left side of the body, which is consistent with the X5III.

still continues the design of a generation, without the glass panel like X5III.

FiiO X7 MKII still uses the same replaceable ear module design as the first generation, and its replacement method is the same as the first generation. Of course, this non-hidden chin also seems to reduce the proportion of the body screen. I still prefer the design method of iBASSO DX200. HIFIMAN, the room card needs to be removed and inserted, and the ear card has no wrapping protection measures relative to the module, so it needs to be carefully stored, while the X7 module adds a chin to the body. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. At least there are Hi-Res small gold labels, isn't there? If you don't think HIFI, you can stick the whole chin with small gold labels.

, of course, this is a joke. In order to maintain the continuity of the lines on the left side of the fuselage, X7 MKII specially designed a "patch" next to the earpiece module, which also makes the whole fuselage look more linear and complete than the previous generation 1.

body is equipped with an AM3 earpiece module as standard, which supports 3.5MM single-ended output and 2.5MM balanced output.

and coaxial, L/O and OPT OUT are set on the top of the body. This all-in-one interface output makes the interface simple while providing excellent compatibility and diversity.

X7 MKII uses ES9028PRO DAC, AM3A module, and ANDROID 5.1 custom system, which has made a significant upgrade compared to X7. Of course, the most obvious change is the balanced architecture.

I prefer FiiO X5III and X7II and iBasso DX200 for the simple reason, mainly because these players use Android system and support for third-party application installation. Users can easily obtain their favorite music resources by installing netease cloud music, QQ music, cool me and other apps. This is different from the Cayin i5 player's concept of creating an online genuine resource library, allowing users to choose apps according to their preferences and obtain resources through paid members. Of course, I admire Cayin's approach at that time, but in these times when capital giants monopolized, it was difficult for the amount and scale of resources to form a climate in the short term.

X7 MKII still supports the switching between pure tone mode and Android mode. Of course, I prefer to download and listen to songs under Android mode, and I can also brush Weibo to play games. Although the memory is upgraded from 1GB to 2GB in the first generation, I don't expect to play the glory of the king and make a national assault. But the advantage of Android is that when you listen to the old Japanese artists' Dai charm whispers, you no longer need to fill up the picture with your brain. You can watch it directly!

battery capacity has also been upgraded from 3500mAh of X7 to 3800mAh, and X5III fast charging technology has been added. The fast charging was added, so that after people got used to players such as SP1000,KANN,X7 MKII and X5III, they habitually rushed other players for half an hour and wanted to take them out of the house. As a result, when they turned on the machine, they remembered that some old players did not have fast charging function. Once this function is used, it will never go back.

sound

gave me the intuitive impression that when X7 MKII was listening to songs while downloading after turning on WIFI and Bluetooth, there was no interference and noise, and there was almost no noise. It bypasses the ASRC of the 9028, and truly plays the role of the clock in the conversion of digital and analog signals, bringing everyone a more natural, more delicate and more refined sound, and its balanced output provides a wider victory performance and separation degree. The whole voice is still in line with clean, neutral and high-quality. Under the single-ended output, the sound is balanced and delicate, the transition is natural, and the atmosphere is fresh. Its low frequency is slightly more polished than that of the previous generation X7, making the sound more full and fresh. The cohesion and texture details of instrumental SOLO and human voice are fully displayed, bringing people a more pleasant sense of music and listening enjoyment.

several combinations

FiiO F9

FiiO F9 is a three-unit iron earphone released by FiiO Company this year. In my opinion, the price of 698 yuan is very cost-effective among the three-unit iron earphones. At the same time, it is also the perfect match for FiiO's full series of players. If you want to choose a earphone with good sound quality when you have just bought the player with a limited budget, I personally recommend F9. It uses a PEK polymer nano-composite diaphragm moving coil unit with a diameter of 9.2mm to bring full and round human voice performance and excellent low-frequency diving and strength. The two moving iron units provide high frequency and extremely high frequency with good control force.

X7 MKII 2.5mm balance line F9 has good low-frequency atmosphere and sense of quantity, low-frequency elasticity and cohesion are also reasonable, and there is no feeling of procrastination. The connection problem of the circle iron is well done. The vocal position is centered, there is no feeling of depression, and the polishing is good. However, the quality of X7 MKII cannot be well reflected in the amount of information and details. Personally, I think this earphone is a good choice to match the X3 and X5 players. High-frequency brightness, transient, control all have good performance, violin and piano overtone processing is just right.

the sound field is wide, with good depth performance, and the sound is too natural and smooth. If there is any disadvantage, it is that the earphone cannot well show the sound quality of the player in terms of analysis and detail performance. But as I said at the beginning, if you have a limited budget after purchasing the player, you can buy F9 and listen first. Used to listen to saliva, rock, small composition and instrumental SOLO, vocals, are all cost-effective choices.

qdc Gemini

X7II qdc Gemini is slightly thinner in low frequency sense, but has excellent performance in low frequency sense of strength, speed and clarity. However, for a METALLICA ENTER SANDMAN, the drum set and bass are slightly inferior in quantity, but the texture details are more prominent.

Hanggai's "Ulaanbaatar Night" has a forward vocal position and outstanding details and emotional performance, it perfectly shows the melodies and information of various instruments such as guitars to users, and can maintain good Sound integrity. ELTON JOHN's FIRST EPISODE AT HIENTON clean, bright and slightly ethereal piano accompaniment throughout the song. X7 MKII's neutral sound style and excellent quality can be perfectly displayed under this set of matching.

MOMENTUM Sennheiser

Sennheiser Big Steamed Bread 1st Generation and X7 MKII have a little more sound dyeing and reverberation. It is also the night in Ulaanbaatar, giving people the impression that the sound field is wider. The accompaniment of the guitar also has some metallic overtones and polish due to the headphones, giving people a better musical performance. This set of collocation is used to listen to some popular, rock and recording old songs that are slightly older than my personal appetite.

it has excellent performance in low frequency sense of quantity, it sometimes fails to show good strength and transient in dealing with some rock music. It may also be that I didn't listen to this one for a long time or didn't cook thoroughly enough. I bought three pieces the year before last and left them at home to eat ashes. I couldn't tell which one had been listening for a long time. Used to listen to the Rolling Stones, Eagles and these bands, the vocal performance of the lead singer is really very emotional, you can give it a try.

T8iE MKII

T8iE MKII must be worn and maintained with good sealing. The combination of X7 MKII and T8iE MKII brings excellent vocal performance with moderate thickness, excellent density and cohesion. Compared with the first generation, the low frequency has less sense of quantity, but it has obvious improvement in strength and speed, and the reverberation treatment is just right. High frequency has good extension and brightness. SOLO listening to instruments such as violin can feel the slender texture and level of the instrument.

"Song of the Jugglers", a slightly larger and faster track can reflect good transients and the respective vocal positions of the instruments. But there is a slight lack of layering. Of course, the balanced output of X7 MKII and the excellent performance of T8iE MKII can bring a regular and wide sound field, but I personally do not recommend using this set of collocation to listen to the large compilation.
