Is the Streaming in android definitely not possible, why?

I am using HRT dSP USB DAC and as I tried out HibyMusic I had to stop it and even to reboot my Nexus7 2013 to get streaming with USB audio for to function again
(I am streaming with TIDAL and  with the even better HQ ClassocsOnlineHD - the letter brings much better SQ even than Tidal, and even with CD Quality, probably because it is making 24 bit format output which can be better played back with the DAC section.).
Could You have the same problem if You tried it?

I am very impressed. Thinking about ordering this now. Question though, do you know if this would handle the likes of the Hifiman HE-400. I know its not hard to drive. But the 400's are really finicky I hear when it comes to amps.

@twister6 Very detailed review... I am very new to this world of powerful AMP and DAC... and even high end headphones...
I am planning to add a decent headphone to start the journey.. I am thinking of bundling Beyerdynamics T51i or ATH-M50X or Vmoda XS ... or Sennheiser HD558 headphone.. with my iPhone 6+..
 
Do you think ...beyer T51i will improve significantly if paired with Fiio Q1... or any other good AMP... I am thinking of buying a decent DAC/AMP... to start lossless Audio experience....... Any suggestion is a positive welcome... even if you have want to suggest me any better headphone... that a bonus for me..
 
Thanks...

do they stick with just one band? (talking about the q1 and note 4 combo)

@yoyorast10 : the unit is very lightweight and relatively small, single band was enough to hold it for my test purpose.  But I don't use it everyday.

how would you rate Q1 against Fulla?

Aww crap. Just tried the DAC function of the Q1 on my work laptop, and oh man, I prefer it to the DAC on the X1. What to do...
It's airier...I prefer it, but I can't use the DAC function with the X1.
I'm going to have to think of something, or just forget that I ever listened to it.
LOL!
Force feed myself the X1 sound signature for a while to forget...seems like the way to go.

@twister6 I love your reviews, have you consider create a youtube channel, to do more interactive reviews?

I agree with kost of what you said... Only, I digress that driving R70x force Q1 to full tilt, with it on 4th dots high Gain is plenty enough... Driving it to 7-8 is deafening.

I just read that I can use the DAC section of the Q1 using the Nokia CA-157 IC. So I'll go for it. There's also FolderPlay which supports all the new algorithms like OGG, Ape, FLAC etc. I love my sturdy N8, it was made in Finland not China and quite expensive when it came out ...

does this work well with meeaudio pinnacle p1? or any other budget suggestions?

@shol : yes, P1 pair up is better with Q1 than K1, per your other question.

@twister6 thanks for replying  also how about with fiio e11k? does pinnacle p1 & se535 match it well?

So I'd like to ask again: did somebody get the DAC section of the Q1 to work connected to a Nokia N8 via the USB2GO adapter CA-157? A FiiO helpdesk guy stated that the N8 would work with the E7's DAC OK and also with other portable DACs.
