Hi Guys,
My set-up is as follows:
iPhone 6S -> Fiio Q1 -> Sennheiser HD600's
I don't listen at loud volumes.
I find myself using the Q1's bass boost almost all the time, as there's very little bass without it.
I don't feel like the bass boost muddies the sound, or anything negative like that. Instead, it adds a good bit of warmth and presence down in the lower frequencies, while still allowing the detail in the mids to come through.
I'm considering eventually upgrading my Q1 to an OPPO HA-2 SE (since the HA-2 has a bass boost as well, and is supposedly a higher-quality dac/amp compared to the Q1).
Can anyone out there provide a comparison of the bass boost on the Q1 vs the HA-2?
Thanks!
