[Uncle Talking about HIFI] Gossip FiiO X7 K5 Base
I haven't been idle since the Spring Festival, I naturally saved more and more homework, which made me wonder where to start first. Indeed, when many prototypes were borrowed, they promised to return them immediately after the festival, but they have not yet started writing. So I'm too lazy to talk about my feelings at the beginning. If I think hard for a month before I roll out an article, several brothers will have to kill me. Let's talk about Feiao FiiO X7 and K5 bases first. In fact, I have taken a few pictures of X7 before, and my personal feeling is not satisfactory. My attitude towards taking pictures is not paying more and more attention. It is time to review myself. Today, I took a few pictures with the matching headphones and base. Therefore, the whole article looks different in style before and after the photos. Please understand.
I haven't come into contact with many FiiO players. FiiO X5, FiiO X5K and FiiO X7, it was a year ago that X5 was mentioned. At that time, it was an activity arranged by Beijing Sanding. Of course, I was pleasantly surprised by the changes in volume, key layout, shell processing technology and sound from X5 to X5K. Thought this was 2015 new flagship. I didn't expect FiiO X7 to be born at the end of 2015. I was surprised.
FiiO X7 seems to me to have two aspectsfeatures, these two features may also become the future development trend of domestic players:
1. FiiO X7 is a network player for Android 4.4 system
2. The extension mode of the ear module can be replaced.
mobile phones. I also occasionally use vivo mobile phones to listen to music. The convenience mentioned here not only includes the reduced load and burden of bringing less equipment, but also means getting rid of the tedious steps required to transfer audio files as far as I am concerned. FiiO X7 is a pioneer in the domestic player industry. It has built-in Android system and can search and download high-definition audio through software such as NetEase Cloud Music in WIFI environment. Of course, in order to show support for genuine music, it is entirely appropriate to buy a member of NetEase Cloud Music or Shrimp Music, and most people can afford it.
was lying in bed listening to songs and reading books to hypnotize, they found that a certain song they liked was not in this TFC card. Maybe many people have such experiences. If you are using FiiO X7 and have WIFI in your home or dormitory, you don't have to be lost or angry about it any more.
FiiO X7. Of course, A & K and other players also have wireless download functions for a long time, but because GOOGLE music and other functions cannot be used in China, people can only be worried. As a result, it is very important to suit the usage habits and "environment" of some countries and regions. What does the word environment represent here? You can guess carefully.
FiiO X7 of coursenot only WIFI, but also BLUETOOTH 4.0 + EDR,the combination of these wireless connections and transmission methods, besides downloading music, it also allows everyone to easily share music.
Replaceable moduleis expanded is really innovative. I have to mention HIFIMAN here. The 901 series of replaceable sound cards may have given some people in the industry some inspiration. There is no intention of anyone copying anyone here. Don't tear me up. FiiO X7 is actually more advanced, because it not only replaces the sound card, but also provides users with a variety of output power, output interfaces and different styles of sound through different expansion modules (chin) to meet the different needs of different users.
Aboutcontrol, I believe most people have been exposed to Android operating system, which can be mentioned here. But FiiO X7 provides two choices for everyone,Android mode and pure tone mode.
Android mode. Pure tone mode only reserves the simplest control interface for users. Users can realize deja vu control through symmetrical buttons and touch screen. Control is easy to use, easy to use one hand is very important.
soundof course, FiiO X7 is Feiao FIIO's first Android intelligent master-level lossless music player. It bypasses Android's native audio system and rebuilds a path from application to hardware to solve the distortion problem caused by SRC. 1GB of operating memory, quad-core high-speed CPU, even high bit rate DSD can play smoothly; With RK3188 + ES9018S + OPA1612 scheme, the sound quality will certainly not be bad. Of course, many brands of E9018S are also in use. The style of hardware is excellent in quality and analysis, but it will lead to a lack of listening.
with a few headphones to briefly talk about listening.
FiiO X7 + SHURE SE846
's hand was listened to by a thousand cups of friends, and the sound was also different from the transparent version. With FiiO X7 low gain output, the vocal density is still the same, but the beautiful high frequency makes the old songs of Cai Qin and Qi Yu appear light and lively, losing their original taste. The drums of SWING JAZZ such as TAPE FIVE "GERALDINES ROUTINE" are very impactful, and there is no feeling of sloppy speed. If the low-frequency elasticity can be improved, it is a good choice to listen to concerts such as slow shake and SWING JAZZ.
Remember, do not turn on high gain when using SE846, otherwise some female voices will have heavier dental sounds. However, compared with the two earphones mentioned later, I prefer the high frequency of FiiO X7 with SHURE SE846, provided that it has low gain, fine, clear and bright human voice, but lacks a little sense of space.
FiiO X7 + A&K T8iE
this plug was originally tuned with AK380, I thought SE846 should be lighter than T8iE. after all, T8iE has plenty of low-frequency sound with the original line, even too abundant for me personally, which reminds me of B & W C5 and FX1200 that has not been cooked well. of course, T8iE's Tesla technology is not covered, and it is much better than the first two earphones in detail performance. But I was wrong. The T8iE and FiiO X7, which originally sounded slightly greasy, are somewhat weaker than SE846.
with FiiO X7, T8iE obviously lost to SE846. But I like the overall low-frequency atmosphere brought by T8iE, loose and abundant sound field and sense of quantity. The sense of speed and Q degree also have good performance. SWING JAZZ is not tired.
clarity has been very good. The human voice is thinner than the AK320, and even the high frequency of the whole player is a bit dull and dumb, but ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ please forgive me for this comparison. it is not scientific in itself, is not in the same price range, and the structure and components adopted are also different, so the quality difference is naturally obvious.
if T8iE and AK320 can give 90 points, FiiO X7 will give 65 points.
, the high frequency of this combination is naturally not a bright spot, because some time ago, after listening to T8iE with the wonderful line, the original line will be changed back to ......, you know. Not that FiiO X7 is not good, but that the original line T8iE cannot give me that high frequency feeling. If I have to describe it, I think at least the trumpet sounds bright and unobtrusive. With the characteristics of Tesla unit, good details and information bring out slim high frequencies, but it would be better if the brightness is slightly increased.
FiiO X7 + MeeAudio P1
55 ohm impedance, to be honest, FiiO X7 low gain volume full feed this plug. So switch to high gain. I personally prefer this match, not that the quality of the first two is not good, but that the first two are not the product of players in the 3000-4000 price range. When you have experienced a better listening feeling in other previous paragraphs, when you look back and listen to the player with this price, you naturally feel that something is wrong. After all, it is not a problem of machine failure or price range.
MeeAudio P1 is pushed with FiiO X7 high gain. Although the low frequency does not have the excellent atmosphere of T8iE, it has a balanced performance in diving, strength, elasticity and other aspects, making people unable to pick out obvious shortcomings. Of course, if I listen to AK320, it may be easy to find out what the shortcomings are, but there is no need at all. If you use it to listen to Song Dongye's "An River Bridge", obviously the low frequency of the original line T8iE is a bit too high, and the MeeAudio is just right!
the voice is a bit thin, I think it should be the tone of the player itself. Because the T8iE looks a little thin with the headphones that are slightly warm after the original line. The vocal position is moderate and does not give people the feeling of being too forward. The disadvantage of this set of collocation is the vocal dental sound. If it is turned too loud, the dental sound will be more obvious. Of course, it is enough to listen to the high-gain sound at about 70%.
with three earphones did not bring me much sound field experience. Please allow me to use moderate to describe the sound field of FiiO X7. The clarity and detail performance give me a better impression. Even with MeeAudio P1 with a price in the 1500 range, you can experience a relatively rich amount of information. Musical instruments and vocals are positioned regularly. Players in this price range also seem to have no sound field disorder and strange positioning. FiiO X7 is certainly not a leader. In terms of triple frequency distribution, I personally think it is more balanced, but it also brings a problem. Low frequency dive and atmosphere seem to be lacking, but I still prefer this sound.
summary
FiiO's previous style was not to seek the best sound quality, but to balance all aspects and get rid of the disadvantages of some national brick brands. However, FiiO has been making progress. From X5 and X5k mentioned in my opening article to X7, we can all see the solid pace and figure of this brand. FiiO X7 is not only a period of flying pride, it is more like an attempt, bringing people more convenient resource sharing through the combination of Android operating system and wireless modes such as WIFI and Bluetooth, and at the same time bringing users flexible and diverse expansion modes through replaceable ear module. These two may also become future development trends.
FiiO K5 base
uh.............................................................................
and so on, the whole article has been finished, but it is only matched with three small earplugs to describe the sense of hearing, so there is no pressure on the ear and the big ear to match it? Then, the problem is that the T5 earplug module that comes with FiiO X7 actually has no big thrust. However, FiiO launched the K5 base in time.
also mentioned above that FiiO X7 "brings users flexible and diverse expansion modes through replaceable ear placement modules". Although FiiO K5 is not an ear placement module, it is still an extension of this attempt. FiiO K5 base can be matched with X1, X3II, X5II, X7 and E17K, and can be expanded into desktop earphones through the base to obtain greater thrust. When matching X5II and X7, the balanced line output interface can be expanded, which is more fun and interesting. At the same time, when matching X1, X3II, X5II, X7 and E17K, you can "use while charging, with FiiO K5, you will realize the convenience it brings in a few days.
FiiO K5 base adopts all-metal shell with sandblasting process, anodized and colored, with fine workmanship, maintaining FiiO's consistent characteristics. The damping and feel of the integrated knob are also good.
Supports DOCK and LINE IN inputs, and LINE OUT and balanced line outputs. Of course, balanced line output needs to be achieved using high-end models such as X5K(X5II) or X7. In addition, FiiO K5 base also supports DAC function. USB IN interface can realize USB DAC decoding and amplification function by matching X3II,X5II,X7,E17K. When K5 is switched on and off, the player matched with K5 will switch on and off synchronously, which is really shocking to me. In fact, I am very curious about what this little thing looks like inside. But refrained and did not dare to tear it down.
sound, it is simply shared with Sennheiser HD600. Because HD600 has a large market ownership, it is also a classic earphone. Many small stations will also use it as a reference when tuning. Therefore, it is more appropriate to test the sound with both.
Dong Yunchang's "Missing Corner Map", this kind of pure instrumental music sounds special. The sound field of HD600 is extremely well restored. The overtones of guitar and other musical instruments are beneficial and give people a good sense of music. RAY GELATO's "NEW YORK NEW YORK" voice reflects the thickness and thickness, and the voice details and voice line expression are also fully in line with my personal expectations.
TAPE FIVE, and the elasticity performance is also good. However, compared with CAYIN 66 set, it is true that ......, sorry, subjective factors are being mixed again, and the price is different after all. After listening to Lower Sachs and Zhao Peng alone, they once again verified their low-frequency control and good performance in many aspects.
, Vivaldi's violin, the suona in Zuo Xiaozu's mantra "This person falls into the well" and "flattery company meeting" can all reflect good instrument texture and density, bright and slender high-frequency, but not tired. The wide sound field also brings some ethereal feeling to some female voices and instruments.
sound field is regular, the instrument positioning is accurate, and the human voice is not moving forward, which can fully reflect the original appearance of HD600. The sense of hierarchy, clarity and degree of separation also make people unable to find any problems. You should know that this product can only be sold 700. It is completely unnecessary to investigate deeper qualities, but these qualities are more in place.
summary
FiiO K5 can push Sennheiser HD600 like this as a small base for 698 yuan, which is really amazing. If you are already a FiiO user, especially X5II and X7 users, it is really worth buying a K5 base, because this little guy not only has good sound, but also can provide your player with richer expansion and output modes, greater output power and excellent convenience.the fly in the ointment is that it would be even better to have one more remote control.
