This is Ver 2.0 of my Q1 Mark II review. 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.

Using decent or excellent headphones but using your phone or computer for playback? Stop.. Get this.. and get spotify premium for 320kbps playback. If your headphones are not great, put your money there fist. A dac/amp will get you that extra 20% sound quality and clarity. Im running set of Sennheiser HD650 at home (balanced) low gain and momentum 2 single ended at work. Plenty of juice for the hd650 using the trrs balanced port - not sure about the 3.5 single ended, its rated a little less. Been using it for a few weeks now and I cannot complain. I am pretty astonished actually. Crystal clear - transparent, stellar sound quality, great manufacturing and flexible enough for my needs. The bass boost circuit is well done. Maybe focuses a bit much on upper bass frequencies for my tastes, but well done either way. Situational for sure. It gives a breath of fresh air to AKG K545, but drags the warmer Sony MDR1A down a bit. I use a galaxy s8 or tab s3 at home, windows 7 laptop at work and have had zero connectivity issues. The packed in otg adapter with Samsung s8 models doesn't work. Suggest getting an OTG cable here. ***EDIT*** The small adapter does not work, but the large (type A) adapter included with the S8+ does work. There is a small current draw no matter which adapters I use ~ 6 or 7% consumed per hour at best so far. The type C to micro cables on the other hand, eat through the phone/tablet battery like butter. Not recommended. Hopefully, a future Android OS update or a Fiio app can fix this down the road for us. I stretched a few silicone bands around it to make 'feet' and use it all day at the office. It is a step up from the e10k for sure. Next stop... Fiio Q5 ((droool))

Before starting this review I want to start by saying I only give five stars to products that absolutely blow me away, and 4 stars go to products that meet their expectations very well with maybe a few nice surprises...etc. I've had my Q1 Mark II now for a week, and I've been using it with my Samsung S7 android and laptop (running windows 7), and AKG 702, and AKG 271 headphones. The playback programs I've used are Windows Media Player, Media Monkey and Google Play Music. Setting up the device to use with the laptop was pretty simple. I just had to download the driver from the Fiio website, then set up the DAC as one of the default speaker systems on the "sound" part of the control panel. I feel like this is where the Q1 Mark II shines - as a USB DAC connected to a laptop. Setting up the Q1 Mark II on the android was no so simple, and has a major drawback that is impossible to overlook. First the set up - you need to access the developer options and set "USB configuration" to "media transfer protocol", and you need to uncheck "prevent automatic routing to USB peripherals". You need to plug in the USB OTG cable and make sure the charging light comes on before opening the media program. This all took me a while and some frustration to figure out, but once I did, it's no big deal. One major flaw of this device is that there's no way to turn off the charging when it is connected by USB. The USB host device must always charge the Q1 Mark II, which means that it parasitizes the battery on your android and drains it quite rapidly. One way to mitigate this is by making sure the Q1 Mark II is fully charges before you plug it in to your phone. even then, it still drains the battery pretty quickly (1% every 2 or 3 minutes). For this reason, I don't consider this DAC to be a great portable device. If you want to use it for hours, you will need to use a USB OTG with a power splitter to continuously charge both the DAC and the phone. This isn't a problem so much with a laptop, since you should have plenty of reserve battery power. After buying this, I re-researched the options out there and it seams like if you want a truly portable DAC that doesn't drain your phone battery, you'll need to spend $370 on a FiiO Q5. Personally, I'll just stick with this one and deal with it. So how does it sound - The DAC sounds really great, with plenty of power for the headphones I used, but not so loud that it will blast your ears off. I believe this is the best sounding DAC you're going to get for $100, and it really does make a great improvement over the headphone output on a laptop or android phone. Media Monkey and Windows Media Player sound fine when using this DAC, but for some reason Google Play Music is horrible; you hear every flaw and there are a lot of snap and pop sounds. I'm not sure why this happens because all three programs are playing the same music files from the same library on my memory card. The analog amp is another story, it doesn't boost the sound level at all (at least not that I can tell). It doesn't do anything bad to the sound either, but what's the point of an external amp that doesn't put more power to the headphones? **Update 8/14/2018: I've had this for a couple months now and I feel like I need to update my review and change the two star rating to four stars. One of my major gripes initially was that the DAC would suck the battery power from my phone. I didn't realize that this DAC really needs a good deep charge. When the battery on the DAC is charged up overnight, it can play for about 5-6 hours before is starts sucking power from the phone, there must be some logic in the DAC that prevents charging for a while after the battery gets fully charged. One other thing that I just realized recently - If you are playing 16 bit files, make sure the DAC is set up for 16 bit decoding. I had it set up for 32 bits and all the music was only half as loud as it could be. This thing really has some juice when it's set up correctly. I would have thought this DAC would be smart enough to auto-detect how many bits the files it plays have, but it doesn't.
