There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
All listening was done through a set of fully broken in Sony MDR-7506 Studio Monitor headphones using the unbalanced output. Using line out to send a signal to my Bravo V2 is now the best combination I own.
Debian Buster (Stock Linux Kernel 4.14): It showed up as 2 devices, "Digital Output (S/PDIF) - FiiO Q1" and "Analog Output - FiiO Q1" No appreciable difference in quality. No drivers or issues, just plug in and pick from sound settings.
Moto X Pure using a generic USB OTG cable and the included USB cable: It worked without any troubles, however, based on the light, it was charging from the phone, which would not be great for battery life. I should be able to make a custom cable or adapter to prevent this, but have not yet built one,
TL;DR - Good portable system for the price. Slightly under-powered for full some full size headphones. Should come with the Fiio CL-06 and ML-06 Cables for Android phones, BUT DOES NOT.
Having spent a considerable amount of time with this, utilizing both the balanced and single ended outputs, using a smattering of different headphones, from IEMs to the T50RP and HD 600. It's still a fine option but, being up front, it is NOT the most powerful portable DAC/Amp. While current isn't everything, some headphones really need more power than this can put out.
That being said, I've run the HD 58X Jubilee (150 Ohm) both balanced and single ended, and balanced is definitely better for the extra power alone. Same story with the HD 600, though supposedly 300 Ohm is touching the limits of what this is capable of powering, and you're looking at IEMs levels of power there, like 22mW? This little thing puts out less power single ended than the Shanling M0 (80mW into 32 Ohm).
That said, the point of a portable is that it'll power most of your headphones loud enough when you're on the go, and this will definitely do that. While T50's might be a bit beyond this little thing in my opinion, the HD 58X paired with this has been a fantastic companion for balanced output, or if you have IEMs with a balanced cable, like I put on the Mee Audio Pinacle PX IEMs, which are reletively inefficient, the 2.5mm balanced drives them great. Single-ended, this will drive almost any low-impedance IEMs to damaging-ly loud levels. Tested with the Sennheiser IE80 and it drove them about as well as I'd ever expect.
The DAC is decently clean and sounds good. Only USB inputs, but there's a DAC chip for each channel.
Also, it's MFi Certified and comes with a Lightning-MicroUSB Cable.
Downsides: Lack of official Android support. This lacks any cables to work with Android phones, and unless the Fiio Branded CL-06 Cable for USB-C, or the ML-06 Cable for MicroUSB, most other USB OTG cables will cause the Q1 to suck your phone's power constantly. I've tested the CL-06 Cable with a Google Pixel (1st Gen) and a Shanling M0, and it works perfectly. No extra battery wear and does audio reproduction via USB with no issues.
The Fiio ML-06 and CL-06 really should have been included by default. If your Android phone supports USB Audio Out, you can most likely use one of the above cables with the Q1 Mark II on your Android device. Fiio does say this will support their Android-based DAPs like the new M7 if also using one of the above cables.
Some notes: This unit comes with a Micro USB cable for charging which is regular length, a short Lightning-Micro USB cable for Apple products, and short right angled 3.5mm-3.5mm jumper wire, which allows you to use this unit purely as an amplifier.
All analog outputs are pre-outs. Yes, even the Line In/Out Combo port next to the volume knob. Functions as Analog out when the DAC is running via USB, and as a Line In when the DAC is NOT getting signal.
There is a driver download for Windows as this does offer DSD Support. Windows 10 should allow up to 32-bit support without any drivers though. iOS, Mac, Linux, and Android required no driver support. EDIT (12/6/18): Win10 Creator's Update (Ver. 1703+) supports USB Audio Class 2, up to 32-bit, 384khz. This device supports higher frequencies via the drivers, up to 768khz, I think, as well as DSD up to DSD256. But without drivers it will work at the USB Audio Class 2 spec on Win10 Creator's confirmed on 3 different personal machines. Anything below Win10 will require drivers.
As a side note, the 2.5mm jack uses the following Pinout:
T = R-
R1= R+
R2= L+
S = L-
For adapter purposes, they must be wired for Fiio/Astell&Kern 2.5mm Balanced in order to work. The balanced output will NOT work with a single ended cable, even if you get an adapter. Please don't try.
I bought this Fiio Q1 ii with that in mind. My results have been mostly positive so far. I’m largely in agreement with the other positive reviews: the design is solid, the build quality seems excellent. The volume knob feels stiff and smooth, so that there’s not a problem with adjusting the volume accidentally, and the volume control feels very precise. It’s a big improvement over the push-button volume that the iPhone provides, which always delivers something either slightly too loud or slightly too soft.
I was surprised to find that the Q1 does improve the sound quality I get compared to plugging IEMs directly into the little Lighting to 3.5mm dongle that comes with the iPhone. Specifically, I feel that the bass is a bit punchier and more detailed, while the rest of the spectrum is not hampered in any way. I have not felt it necessary or desirable to use the bass boost on any IEM I’ve connected.
So far, I’ve only used the unit’s 3.5mm unbalanced output. I have some balanced cables on the way, and here’s why: I feel like the amp section of this thing is underpowered. The balanced output has more power, so we’ll see if it helps. But even with my supposedly sensitive IEMs (like the Westone W4r, the Shure SE 315, and the Sennheiser IE 80 and IE 800), at high gain, I’m running the volume at about 75%. That’s not good. I wonder just what the low gain setting is even for.
Worse, hooking up my full size Sennheiser HD600s, I have to turn the output to 100% to get near to audiophile listening levels. Once again, buying $50 balanced cables for the HD600s and taking advantage of the balanced output might help… we’ll see. But why is the amp so underpowered that I have to crank it to 3:00 to listen to my balanced armature IEMS?
In practice, this isn’t a serious issue for the IEMs. There’s plenty of power to drive them and they sound great. And because they use so much of the volume knob travel distance, there’s a great amount of precision you can get in the volume.
But for full sized cans, the unbalanced output is a nonstarter. It’s just too weak. And I just wonder why the decision was made at Fiio to make the amp so mild.
Perhaps I’ll edit this when I get the balanced cables. I’m a bit aggrieved that I have to spend another $100 on a couple of cables just to see if it helps. I personally feel balancing headphones is snake oil (makes no difference to the sound either way), and I believe that cables are cables… the stock ones are as good as any other cable. Spending $500 for oxygen free Himalayan copper blessed by virgin muses or whatever is for credulous people who don’t grasp science.
At the end of the day, this device is nice. The price is right, the design is good, and it does help out with small headphones and IEMs. Just don’t buy it thinking you’re going to improve your full sized unbalanced headphones.

De esta forma el Q1 II se convierte en un producto que combina un precio económico con el mejor rendimiento y versatilidad.
Un inteligente diseño de DAC y amplificador
En el caso del FiiO Q1 II se han utilizado los mejores componentes y se han conjuntado siguiendo un diseño bien planificado.
El chip DAC empleado en esta ocasión es el AKM AK4452, el cual decodifica frecuencias de muestreo manteniendo un ruido bajísimo y una distorsión casi inexistente.
Los chips utilizados para la sección de amplificación son los mismos que se han utilizado en el diseño del módulo AM3A para el FiiO X7 II. En concreto se trata del OPA926 el cual cuenta con un desempeño excepcional, manteniendo un ruido de fondo ultra bajo. Finalmente, las operaciones de filtro de paso bajo para la salida de linea son desempeñadas por el OPA1662 de Texas Instruments.
Certificación Hi-Res
El FiiO Q1 II ha sido certificado por la Japan Audio Society. Con esto puedes estar seguro de que te va a proporcionar una experiencia en escucha de audio fidedigna a todos los niveles.
Compatible con iOS
Con la nueva certificación MFI de Apple, el FiiO Q1 II es compatible con todos los dispositivos de la marca americana. Actualmente solo el 2% de productos pasan los test para obtener esta certificación.

Este adaptador será comercializado por FiiO en un futuro próximo.
El mejor compañero de tu ordenador
El FiiO Q1 II puede ser usado como DAC USB y emparejado a un PC o MAC, para decodificar formatos de audio de hasta 384 kHz/ 32bit.
Con MAC el Q1 II es automáticamente reconocido cuando se conecta y no hace falta instalar un driver por separado. En Windows se deberá usar el driver proporcionado por FiiO en su página web que habilita al Q1 para dar salida ASIO.
Un gran combo para reproductores y amplificadores
La salida de 3.5mm presente en el FiiO Q1 II es multifunción, por lo que puede ser usada como entrada o salida de línea. Cuando es usada como entrada de línea el Q1 II actúa como amplificador puro para ser usado con otro DAC o reproductor.
Cuando este conector multifunción se usa como salida de línea el Q1 II puede ser emparejado con un amplificador externo y actuará como DAC puro.
Tecnología ADC de ajuste de volumen
Para el control de volumen en el FiiO Q1 II se ha optado por un mecanismo ADC que reconstruye de forma precisa la curva ADC y resuelve problemas como el desbalanceo ente canales izquierdo y derecho.
También se evita el ruido de fondo a la hora de operar la rueda de volumen así como se incrementa la precisión en los pasos de volumen.
Rueda de volumen rediseñada
La rueda de ajuste de volumen presente en el FiiO Q1II se ha diseñado en una forma redondeada que maximiza su diámetro para que sea más fácil de rotar a la vez que ocupa poco espacio en el chasis.
También cuenta con unas pequeñas estrias en 45º que mejoran el agarre de la rueda para que pueda ser operada de forma precisa.
Construcción totalmente metálica
El exterior del FiiO Q1 II está completamente construido en metal, lo que no solo otorga una visión moderna y atractiva, sino que también ofrece protección contra las interferencias electromagnéticas, asegurando que la calidad sonora no queda comprometida cuando se usa en conjunto con un iPhone.
Todo el conjunto recibe un tratamiento de anodizado para que el Q1 II tenga un tacto agradable a la mano y goce de buen grip para evitar caídas y golpes.
Cambia entre salida normal y balanceada
El nuevo FiiO Q1 II viene con salidas normal y balanceada independientes para que puedas experimentar con el audio de tus auriculares.
Conectando tus auriculares a la salida normal obtendrás un sonido definido y claro, pero usando la balanceada podrás percibir aún más matices y un sonido más rico y expansivo.
Control de ganancia y realce de graves
El FiiO Q1 II cuenta con interruptores para controlar la ganancia y con función de realce en graves. Con el control de ganancia puedes controlar la potencia que ofrece este dispositivo para adecuarlo al uso de auriculares In Ear u orejeros que demanden más potencia debido a impedancias altas.
Por otra parte, con la función de realce en graves obtendrás más "punch" en las frecuencias bajas para acomodar la experiencia auditiva a tus gustos musicales.
Gran surtido de accesorios incluidos
Incluidos con el FiiO Q1 II vienen un cable de Lightning a micro USB, un cable micro USB para conectar al ordenador, un cable de audio de 3.5mm, 4 bandas de silicona para adaptarlo a otros dispositivos, una banda antideslizante de goma y una funda de transporte

So...I've bought it. I'm using it with the Balanced output and the FiiO FH1 Dual Drivers. This has to be the cheapest combo with the best sound that I've ever own. I also have the K18 Kunlun which is quite good, anyway, this little dac amp, on the balanced output is powerful enough to drive some demanding headphone ( only with the balanced output which activate the other half of the dual amp and make it much more powerful) .
I'm using it right now with some Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7GM on the NON balanced...normal output. The volume is at 2/3 , if i use the gain button at the back the volume is half way. The sound is still very decent but not as crisp and lively as the balanced output. It's still much better than a recent motherboard but not super great if you don't use the balanced output.
It work on android with a normal cable..there are some cables now with usb c and mini usb. DSD play well on the computer with DSD Asio drivers... VERY GOOD. ( with the balanced output.)
I've bought 2 normal cables and they both work. Both are using the power from the phone ...
The difference between a phone usb ,a tablet usb and a computer 3.1 usb is phenomenal. Using this small DAC with a PC would be a great idea.They have an ASIO driver for windows. The Fiio Q1 is Small like a playcard , light and classy.
La porta di ricarica sembra essere delicata e non sono ancora riuscito a trovare un cavo USB senza alimentazione per evitare che il dispositivo collegato esaurisca la batteria in breve tempo. Fino a quel momento dovrò utilizzare il device fisso sulla scrivania o solo come amplificatore sfruttando DAC del telefono. Per gli interessati segnalo che non è compatibile con il costoso cavo FIIO line out. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è molto interessante e consiglio l'acquisto.
étant mon premier DAC je ne savais pas à quoi m'attendre mais à la première écoute j'ai été bluffé, un rendu son incroyable ! (j'utilise un Sennheiser 660 S et spotify premium sur un Galaxy S5 neo)
bon packaging, respire la qualité. Le produit en lui meme à l'air résistant, rien à redire la dessus
très bonne autonomie
fournis une bonne puissance de sortie je fais fonctionner mon casque à 150 Ohm et sensibilité de 103 dB sans problème
Fonctionne immédiatement sur mon PC sous windows 10, pas de téléchargement ou de paramétrage nécessaire, de même sur mon téléphone
Une house de protection est fournis pour transporter le DAC, pas une super protection mais sympathique tout de même
négatif :
Ne possède pas de cable micro USB vers USB C (après quelques recherche, la marque à retirer ce cable et écrit que son produit n'est compatible uniquement avec des produits apple du à des problèmes avec certaines version d'android mais il est bien compatible avec la majorité des portables sous android)
il faut un microscope pour lire les inscriptions à coter des boutons (en soit il y a 3 boutons donc on retiens rapidement lequel sert à quoi mais je fignole un peu)
Il est fournis dans la boite des élastiques avec une plaque de caoutchouc pour attacher son téléphone avec le DAC c'est sympa, une petite touche en plus mais ils ont oublier un subtile détail, les élastiques recouvre l'écran empêchant d'utilise son téléphone ou même de changer de musique .... je ne vois pas qui les utilises
Petit bémol après 6 mois d'utilisation :
- je reviens sur le fait qu'il fournis assez de puissance pour mon casque, en effet ce DAC peut le faire fonctionner mais il y a un manque de profondeur, après avoir utiliser un DAC plus haut de gamme et fixe, je me rend compte que le Fiio Q1 M2 manque un peu de puissance, les basses sont un peu assourdis avec des aigues un peu floue.
- Le rendu de la scène sonore est pas terrible, le son est plutôt bon mais la spatialisation est pas au rendez vous (même avec un bon fichier FLAC ou Hi res sur QOBUZ).
- après avoir pris un nouveau téléphone (samsung galaxy s8+) je me rend compte que ce dac n'apporte rien de plus, ou pas grand chose quand on a un téléphone haut de gamme.
- connecter par mini USB le son est légèrement mieux mais reste parfois un peu approximatif lorsque beaucoup d'instruments se superpose et manque de profondeur dans les basses et extrême aiguë par contre les médiums sont très bon.
- le bouton pour augmenter les basses est un peu bourrin, ca donne plus l'impression d'être à l'extérieur d'une boite de nuit avec un son grave imposant mais étouffé.
- La batterie tiens super bien et est de bonne qualité !
En conclusion : si vous voulez un son Hifi portatif sans vous ruinez, je ne vois pas de meilleurs produit mais faites attention à l'utilisation que vous voulez en faire (il est fait pour être nomade connecté sur un baladeur en mousse ou sur un portable avec un son pas terrible) et attention si votre casque est très gourmand en énergie, ce DAC n'est pas fait pour çà !
