Streaming music is becoming the trend of the day. Want to enjoy lossless audio anywhere and anytime? Cannot make it on the mobile phone due to lack of a headphone jack? Worries about battery consumption when using a USB dongle? These problems will no longer be a problem if you have the FiiO & JadeAudio portable DAC and headphone amplifier Q11.


Born for streaming music playback
To help users enjoy streaming lossless music without worry, we equipped the Q11 with a high-performance CS43198 DAC, dual op-amps, high-precision crystals and low-noise power supply. The result is that Q11 can support decoding of up to 384kHz/32bit PCM and DSD256.

In addition, considering that you may have many headphones, we carefully designed and refined the Q11 with up to 650mW output power under balanced out.

Other than these superior performances, the Q11 has more features. For example, it can be controlled by the FiiO Control app; filters can be adjusted; the volume knob can also work as a power switch; the tuning is precise with silky and perfectly weighted feel; the ambient light window evokes a sense of technological wonder, etc.

Takes good care of everything
We customized the Q11 with an ingenious body, making it portable to carry around while ensuring proper binding with your mobile phone. Besides, the appropriate-size Q11 has both 3.5mm and 4.4mm headphone outputs to meet your needs.

With such a portable body, the Q11 even includes a large 2600mAh lithium battery that supports over 13 hours of battery life. No matter whether you are commuting or hanging out, the Q11 can cater to your needs for listening to music.

Great. Another wireless product from FiiO that needs to go through the FiiO Control App. Maybe consider slowing down hard-product releases before you guys can build a solid software program. The current Fiio Control app is a the definition of a POS which makes it very inconvenient and frustrating to use.

For example, while the latest version of the FiiO app for the UTWS5 lets you set your own PEQ settings but does not give the ability to save custom EQ presets. Every time you start the app, you will need to adjust the EQ. It is so frustrating to have to do that every time.

The EQ functions while decent don't allow for Low Shelf / High Shelf etc. but only peaks. Why not go to 100% for features and functions instead of 80%?

If someone was in the market for a wireless DAC/amp, the Qudelix is a better option. The app continues to get improvements, it is user intuitive, and now allows for a TWENTY (20) band PEQ.

The worst part about it all is that the FiiO app can barely recognize that the UTWS5 is connected despite showing on my iPhone as connected. The TWS solution is supposed to be seemless. Instead, I'd rather carry the Qudelix 5K in my shirt pocket because it just works. Not 20% of the time.

I have been using FiiO products since 2010, with the FiiO E17 Alpen and original K9 amp...and the "Kilimanjaro" mobile amp. Really liked the value proposition and quality back then. Lately, it just seems to push out products for the sake of new product with little innovation or refinement - again, case in point, the FiiO Control App being a sad attempt.

Probably the most powerful dac-amp at this price point.

Dear friend,

Thanks for the kind feedback.
1. The Q11 is a protable USB DAC but not a wireless product. You would need to connect it to the Android mobile phone via USB when adjusting the setting for it in the FiiO Control app.
2. We failed to reproduce the issue with PEQ you mentioned with the UTWS5. If you are convenient, please contact support@fiio.com with the small video attached. Thanks in advance!
3. As for the low shelf/high shelf feature you mentioned, we have reported to the engineer for assessing. Thanks for the kind feedback.

Best regards

I been using the Fiio Q11 my self for over a week now with my other pair of headphones. Waiting on 4.4mm balance cables i ordered before I use my sundara completely with it. Works great so far without any issues with my desktop. But I do wish there was a way to get at the settings with a PC without having to disconnect the Q11 from the PC and then to a Android phone just to get at the settings in the Fiio Control app. Is there any plans for a optional Fiio Control app for windows 10/11 that let you get access to those same settings that you normally have to plug the Q11 into the phone to get? That way one doesn't have to plug the Q11 from their desktop into the phone to switch the settings around.

Also is their plans to add more settings to the app to config the Fiio Q11 more? or is that all the settings its going to have?

Also it seem even tho the Q11 comes with a Iphone OTG cable I had issues with the Fiio Control app on the Apple store detecting the Q11, it only detects the LC-BT1 that I have and not the Q11.

Wait is that really 79.99? First time for Fiio to lower their price on a higher number model, maybe after these it'd be Q33, Q55?

Thanks

Dear friend,

It does not have lineout port. So you could not bypass the amplifier in it when using headphone out.
But it has a coaxial output port instead.
