a Breakthrough-Talk about Feiao X7 Portable Player

recently, a friend asked me why I haven't written anything. I found that the update speed of the forum is really fast now. If you don't write anything for more than a month, it is easy for others to forget it. In fact, there are many things that can be written, such as D200. Although it has been mentioned in previous evaluations, there are many things that can be discussed besides changing fuses and power cords. Another example is ZX100, a new work of Dafa. No matter what Dafa is like, as long as there is a new product, someone will definitely pay for it. Or CAYIN's IDAC6 IHA6 combination. I think some people have already shared their feelings in the forum. From my personal hearing, this set of things has a reason to get angry even if they don't tour the forum.

, the Feiao X7 I'm going to talk about today is something that has been used for more than half a month. Whether the thing is good or not, there is no need to talk nonsense about it. There are not many Feiao agents. It is not very difficult to find a prototype. You can see it when you get started. However, it seems that there are very few people who share the feelings of this machine for some reason. It is estimated that it is also related to the recent tearing. You will become KOL at every turn. Although there have been many debates about Feiao in the past, I don't seem to have this hidden worry this time. The old users bought it at a 20% discount, and the real money is also comfortable. Of course, there will definitely be problems if the evaluation is high or low. I just want to say, you bought it, or you borrowed it in your hand and used it carefully for a few days, then we can continue to discuss. Is it interesting for you to argue with me?

come straight to the point. First of all, let's talk about the voice of X7. I know that everyone is most concerned about this. After all, Feiao can't find any problems in operation and workmanship, so the only thing that can be blamed is the voice. In the past, Feiao's machines were really not good at tuning, and most of the things they made were the sound of the reaction chip itself. However, a while ago, Feiao updated both X3 X5 series of machines in one breath. I also evaluated them separately. From the voice, I can't say that these two products are earth-shaking, but the problem of excessive or thick voice criticized by everyone is still solved in 7788.


to X7, Feiao once again replaced the DA chip and changed it to the current popular ES9018. Flagship, it is natural to have a flagship configuration. But to tell the truth, although there are many machines using 9018 series chips, there are not many machines that can give full play to their characteristics. In particular, the low-cost 9018 series chip machines often have the problems of high frequency, bright and good extension, but lack of texture. Violins sound too slippery and have much less details. The typical representative of this aspect is DX90. Of course, I didn't have the problem of attacking this machine. Many friends around me who can talk about it also highly admire DX90, but I have no love for it all the time. You can say that DX90 is popular, but I can't accept the high frequency of vague details.

, what exactly is this chip 9018? I don't listen to many high-end machines, so it's hard to talk nonsense. I assume that APOGEE SYMPHONY I/O is a better machine with 9018 characteristics (after all, professional manufacturers don't bullshit much, and the parameters are really high). then it can be said that its sound is similar to the trend of TI high-end DA chips-free opening and closing, dynamic sharp, and excellent extension at both ends, the only difference is that the 9018 is slightly thicker and fuller than a 1792 with a handsome voice. If you follow the routine of Feiao's first-generation player, then I estimate that X7 is basically the appearance of X5 enhanced version. Do you think what it feels like to be clean, bright and sharp together? Although I like this sound very much, the forum is really not good. People want female poison and "loose and sweet". The dismal sales of the SYMPHONY itself also illustrate some problems.

Feiao began to tune, although it did not rely on this to bullshit, although this is still a relatively balanced sound product, but Feiao added a very unique thing to him-sticky feeling, a very slight sticky feeling. I used the word "sticky feeling" when evaluating HA5000 W5000, which is a kind of dense, steady and calm feeling. However, this characteristic of X7 is obviously not as obvious as that of the iron triangle suit, so that I didn't know how to describe the voice at first. You said that its voice is soft, not soft, and it is no problem to explode. Although it is not strong and powerful, it is obviously two routines with the soft tone of AK series. It seems that it is not quite right to say soft things. We all know that soft things are generally a little sticky and don't sound sharp enough. X7's high frequency does not prick ears, and the edges and corners are not obvious, but there are still some sharp edges inside.


this kind of unique tuning is really rare in the machines I have heard. It is full and delicate, with bursts but not so hard. The high frequency is not very transparent, but you will not feel insufficient in extension. The most typical example is when listening to piano chords. If the piano performed by APOGEE SYMPHONY is pressed on the keys with great force, cleanness, neatly and decisively (especially Horowitz's recording is simply smashing the piano), then the piano performed by X7 is pressed on the keys with eight points of force, stability and ease. You may think that the piano music performed in this way is not so strong, but from another perspective, you will not feel too violent, and this dense and stable style seems to better reflect the inner emotion of the music. The string music is the same. A Bing's masterpiece "Listening to Song" should be familiar to everyone. To borrow a word from the master's evaluation of A Bing's original recording, the listening to Song under the APOGEE SYMPHONY is "one word for one sentence". The phrases are very finely divided and the quality is very high, but it sounds a little dry. However, the X7 interpretation of Songming shows a little more lingering, and the points between each bow are not so open and slightly continuous.

I don't think there is much to say in other aspects. The dense and steady sound style runs through the X7 triple frequency. Needless to say, I definitely feel that the low frequency is not hard enough and happy enough. There is nothing to be picky about diving and density. It is very full and solid low frequency. It is just that you want to listen to the classical compilation. This is not very good, not only this, it seems that there are few classic ones that can be broadcasted in portable computers. Golden Chrysanthemum may be counted as one, but the price is also very high. But then again, these national bricks I like, such as N6 QA360, are not very explosive at low frequencies. The old X5 is fierce, but everyone does not seem to like it.


the human voice is very tasty, the selling point of the iron triangle suit is also on the human voice, the slightly sticky human voice is perfect, quite a little close to your ears and murmur the feeling (the human voice is not very close to your ears, there is this feeling but it does not mean that the voice must burn your face), except that it is not empty enough to listen to it. In fact, I usually don't say such words as perfect or seconds kill. It's okay to write less like me. Everyone may forget what I said last time. You said that seconds kill or perfection will happen every few days when you often post. It is estimated that no one will watch it. Besides, you don't know what the manufacturer can do in the future, but at this stage, I think this kind of vocal handling is my favorite. There are characteristics and some are better to listen to. Although you can hear dyeing, this dyeing is not low-level or simple. However, you will know as soon as you listen to some things that the human voice is thickened, or the human voice is warming up. It is easy to write an evaluation, but it is a little greasy to listen to it. Besides, this kind of thickening or warming is the rhythm of your face.

high frequency is not dark, the normal brightness is not sharp enough, but the density and extension are good. Compared with APOGEE SYMPHONY, it is softer, similar to X5K, but the density and details are better. Some friends in the group commented that it is not transparent enough. This is indeed true. Can the X7 be more transparent? I think there is no problem. The old X5 is very transparent. However, it was also said earlier that the X7 as a whole is not of this style, or that the whole Feiao player is not of this style. If you just want high-frequency transparent points to make up for the earplugs, you can try EXK or something, but to be honest, don't you think that high-frequency transparent products are generally not stable enough? Both have advantages and disadvantages.


there is nothing else to say, a brief summary is dense, steady, slightly sticky, balanced with dyeing, quality is also in the upper-middle level. Since I bring my own IEM card designed for earplugs, it is impossible to push large earphones. I tried several low-resistance ones, which is not bad. However, since I compared some machines, the control power is much worse. However, this can wait for a new card to be issued later, including tuning or something, and what else can the machine that can change the card say, right, HIFIMAN have already tried this trick, it seems that the effect is not bad.


operation, this is the key. Feiao has always been good at this. The design of the X5 turntable key is definitely simple and easy to use. However, when it comes to X7, it goes further and comes directly with a touch screen. Of course, the portable player with touch screen is not a new product either. Sony, Aiodi or AK all have such things. It can even be said to be the foundation for foreign bricks to settle down. However, such things are rare in national bricks. Feiao also said before that the purchase volume cannot keep up with the good screen, and the touch screen machine is not simply a matter of getting a screen back. Is there any national brick with touch screen before? Of course, DX100 and L5 are both, but the former has stopped production, and the latter, uh, still don't talk about the latter. Just look at the real machine and you will understand. I just want to say that without those two brushes, it is better not to do touch screen things.

X7. Although running Android system sounds like a little bit of a big meaning, it has great advantages in both installing applications and optimizing interfaces. Moreover, X7 is based on the audio decoding engine framework of Haibei music. Whether it is self-contained music APP or using Haibei music APP, it can bypass the problem of Android SRC. At the same time, it may be considering the user's preferences. X7 provides two interfaces to choose from. If you like to use it like a mobile phone, you can use Android desktop, and if you like a pure player, you can also choose pure tone mode. Although the main control configuration is not high, it is still very smooth to use. After all, listening to songs can take up much resources. As long as you are not going to use it to play mobile phone games, the problem is not big.


workmanship is Feiao's consistent strength. The metal body has weight when holding it. However, due to the addition of a detachable "chin", the size is larger than that of previous machines, but it is still within the acceptable range. The official mark of endurance is about 9 hours. I listen to songs with a lower volume and can be longer. As for the packaging details and so on, you can just look at the picture directly.

X7 should be regarded as a breakthrough for Feiao. Do you want a touch screen? No problem. Do you want a replaceable ear card? No problem. Do you want a convenient and easy-to-use Android system? It's no problem. Today, when HIFI mobile phones are becoming popular, what else do you want if the portable player is inconvenient and not easy to use? The voice, I dare not say that it is excellent, but it is also commendable. What's more, people can change their cards?

, this is X7, and in its bones, it is still Feiao's guiding ideology-simple, practical and easy to use. The sound evaluation also said above that tuning is not a major product. If you want to toss, you can play enough games, and Feiao's support for system update is also good. However, we also know that the price of the standard version is close to 4K, which is not cheap among national bricks. Some friends will definitely ask how to compare with foreign portable players. I think the answer is very simple. what is left of some imported products except for their good appearance and unique workmanship? do you really think they are selling sound?
