FiiO Control: Seamless Device Management for FiiO Audio Players

FiiO Control is the official mobile application designed to remotely manage compatible FiiO digital audio players (DAPs). This app transforms your smartphone into a powerful wireless remote, providing extensive control over your music library and device settings without needing to physically handle your DAP. Users benefit from a streamlined interface to browse their stored music, adjust critical sound parameters, and manage system functions from the comfort of their phone. For owners of supported FiiO players, FiiO Control significantly enhances the user experience by offering unparalleled convenience and accessibility.

Wireless Music Library Browsing and Playback

The core functionality of FiiO Control is granting users complete access to their DAP’s music library over a Wi-Fi connection. After ensuring both devices are on the same network, users open the app to automatically search for and connect to their FiiO player. The interface mirrors the music categories found on the DAP itself, such as songs, artists, albums, and genres. Users simply tap through these categories to find the desired music and then tap a song to initiate playback. This allows for seamless track selection, playlist creation, and playback control directly from a mobile device, making it ideal when the DAP is connected to a home stereo system or stored in a bag.

Precise Equalizer and Sound Customization

FiiO Control provides detailed management of your audio player’s sound signature. Within the app, users navigate to the EQ settings menu to tailor their listening experience. The interface presents a full parametric equalizer with multiple bands that can be adjusted by dragging sliders up or down to boost or cut specific frequencies. Users can save these custom configurations as presets for quick recall with different headphones or music genres. This level of control ensures that FiiO Control users can fine-tune audio output to their exact personal preference, maximizing the potential of their high-fidelity equipment.

System Settings and Firmware Management

Beyond music playback, FiiO Control serves as a hub for configuring the DAP’s operating system. Users can access a dedicated settings section to adjust system-level features like screen brightness, sleep timer duration, gain settings, and USB DAC mode. A critical function is the firmware update tool. The app can check the official FiiO server for new firmware versions, download the update file directly to the phone, and then initiate a secure transfer and installation process onto the audio player. This centralized management via FiiO Control simplifies maintaining the device and ensures it operates with the latest features and improvements.

Playlist Creation and Track Management

Organizing a music collection is a straightforward process with FiiO Control. To create a new playlist, users select the “Playlist” section and choose to add a new one. They can then browse their entire music library, track by track, and add songs to the playlist with a single tap. Existing playlists can be edited by adding more songs or removing unwanted tracks. This remote management capability is particularly useful for curating music for specific events or moods without needing to disconnect the DAP from an amplifier or handle its smaller onboard screen.

USB DAC Mode Functionality

For compatible FiiO DAPs, FiiO Control enables activation and management of the USB DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) function. Users connect their DAP to a computer via USB and then use the app to switch the player into DAC mode. Once activated, the computer recognizes the DAP as an external sound card. The FiiO Control app then allows users to control the volume level and monitor the bitrate and format of the audio signal being processed. This turns the portable player into a high-quality desktop audio interface, all managed wirelessly through the smartphone app.

Device Status Monitoring and Battery Information

FiiO Control offers real-time monitoring of the audio player’s vital statistics. The main interface or a dedicated info panel displays crucial data such as the current battery level percentage, available storage space on the internal memory and any inserted microSD cards, and the audio format of the currently playing file. This allows users to check their device’s status at a glance and plan accordingly, such as knowing when to charge the unit or understanding if a track is playing in high-resolution lossless quality. This feature provides essential insights that help in maintaining the device’s performance.
