Hi..I Currently own the Fiio BTR7 and enjoy the sound and the portability. Feeling the itch to upgrade. How would the Shanling H5 be in comparison to the Fiio BTR7 ? Cant find much info online on the two as a comparo. Any suggestions ? Thanks.

I went for the BTR7 and loving it. I was intrigued by the ifi gryphon and also ordered it but returned it as I found it too clunky and most of all no customisable EQ like the BTR7. The customisable EQ is one of the best things I like about the BTR7 which swayed me away from the IFI GoBlu. I have...

Noted. Thanks for the inputs. I guess I’ll stick with my BTR7 for now. I also don’t see 3X the benefits with that price for the Gryphon.

Could you state why

I am using the Fiio BTR7 with mostly iems. Is the IFI XDSD Gryphon a worthy upgrade over it ?

How to remove the 60% volume cap on the BTR7?

Just got myself a Fiio FD3 Pro today and used it with a Tripowin Petrichor Upgrade cable in 4.4mm balanced connected to the BTR7. Whoaaa...what a massive and lush sound. Everything sounds in the face, clear and punchy. Like it a lot. Expecting my Sennheiser ie200 to arrive this weekend and will...

So using a balanced cable with the e5000 should work with the btr7 right ? Should be easy to drive (balanced) ?

Here are some suggestions from another forum. (screenshot attached)

Yes that was my plan...to get the Final Audio E5000 and upgrade the cables to a Tripowin Zonie or Tripowin Jelly cable (Balanced 4.4mm)

Hi. I’m contemplating buying either the Final Audio E4000 or 5000 to use with the Fiio BTR7. Is the BTR7 underpowered to drive the E5000. Someone on an another forum mentioned it. Want to be sure before buying. Thanks.

Well the sony is not available in my country so no go.

Very true. Fiio please sort out the software. Especially for ios and the eq working.

Wow thanks for that. Will check. Does it have mcx detachable cables too to use with my 4.4mm ?

Thanks a lot for the inputs. Hope my BTR7 will be able to drive the e5000. Any other options in the ear bud shaped iems ? I don’t like to wear my iems around the ear.

What would be a better iem to buy. The Final Audio E4000 or the E5000. Will use it with a Fiio BTR7 and spotify, FLAC etc. Will the Tripowin Jelly cable with 4.4mm be a good upgrade to use with the BTR7 ? There is a considerable price difference between the 2 iems. Does the E5000 justify almost...

Thanks for the inputs. I am planning to buy the FINAL E5000 iems and upgrade the cable to a 4.4mm balanced one. Any recommended options for cables ? Also I am more comfortable with IEMS with a normal wearing style than the around the ear. The Final is like that. So wont the upgrade iem cable be...

I recently bought a Fiio BTR7 and use mostly iems with it on the 3.5mm input (Venture Electronics BIE) mainly bass heavy iems for EDM and HIP HOP and occasional pop. Want to experience the power and benefits of the balanced 4.4mm inputs. So is it better to get new iems with a fixed 4.4mm cable...

Ok noted and thanks for this update. No wonder I was unable to hear any changes in the Custom EQ. Will use the preset eqs for now.

Thank you for the explanation. Will try this and update.

In fact I also had a query on the EQ. Connected via Bluetooth with my iPhone and on Spotify. All the EQ presets work but the user presets don’t. Am I missing something ?

Thanks for the extensive feedback. I just received my BTR7 today and am loving it. It’s super powerful and serves my needs just fine. It will be a keeper. Somehow I prefer the volume control on Fiio better than the rotary one on the go Blu. Size wise the go Blu is cute and also sounds amazing...

Thanks. I was almost going to go for the iFI as it sounded awesome too. All of a sudden it was sold out and next stocks expected after almost 2-3 weeks. So went ahead and got the Fiio. Cheers

Just ordered the Fiio BTR7 after checking a lot of reviews and articles. I guess it was the right decision and will future proof me for a few months...if not years ;) Till the upgrade bug bites again ;)
