I never understood how a variable line level was different than just using the headphone out...
Is there a digital out? I haven't found it.

how to set or where to find that settings on 300r?

Its in the settings under "Sound and notifications"

The variable line out mode gives a little more volume, it overrides the volume cap (only slightly), built in to protect numpties from their own crazyness.

The only digital out is via the USB socket to a compatible DAC. DragonFly Red, Mojo, iFi Nano BL etc.

But, will it work with my Honda Accord (which doesn't see the Pioneer's Bluetooth)?
I'll give it a try one of these days.

If you ask here people will say 300R if you ask over there in the Fiio thread people will say X7.

I quite like my 300R, I like the sound and the usability of the unit. It never crashes or "acts-up", can they say that over on the Fiio thread I wonder?

I have the 99C and the 300R. Love the combo. Also, I have Sheepskin pads from Brainwavz on my 99C.

For me it has a few quirks.

1. The volume cap is a bit restrictive for harder to drive headphones, e.g.. Sennheiser HD 650.
2. I don't really like the fact that 44.1Khz playback isn't bit-perfect, the up-sampling to 48Khz is done well, it sounds good, but its not bit-perfect.
3. Fragile sockets, fixed with epoxy in my case.
4. Poor battery life if using WiFi, streaming over Wifi isn't really practical for me.

Other than those four things its a great player and good value for money.

Yes, leaving WiFi on does indeed kill the battery. Wish it had a deep sleep like the Opus products. I just turn it off now
