Today I was able to audition the FT3 350 Ohm & 32 Ohm and the FT5 side by side on the Q15 (source was M11Pro). Well, long story short, it will be the FT5s that will be coming to live with mem

I downgraded to 1.66 and use it with my Motorola G73 Smartphone (which I bought especially for the Q15).Okay, I am joining the group of the highly annoyed guys ... After I updated to FW 1.82, I listened for quite some time over Bluetooth only. After getting back to USB, I realized that gain in USB Mode has lowered significantly. On SH, I turn the volume around 50, and it is still not very loud. Switiching to Bluetooth, it gets a lot louder, too loud for my ears. PEQ is on Bypass, MQA Mode off, but fiio App on Windows shows "DevKit". Can I do something to change this behavior? Or do I have to Factory Reset and update to 1.66 and stay there? I hate things like this ... Thanks for your help!
I like the APTX Adaptive even better.I downgraded to 1.66 and use it with my Motorola G73 Smartphone (which I bought especially for the Q15).
This is (unfortunately) currently the best solution when using Bluetooth only.
It’s really great sounding though LDAC.
Sometimes I connect a powered USB-C cable and use desktop mode.
Interesting. Have to try it.I like the APTX Adaptive even better.
Bought a Motorola ThinkPhone just for that purpose.Interesting. Have to try it.
Yea my phone doesn’t support it unfortunately.Bought a Motorola ThinkPhone just for that purpose.
Ya only a few newer ones do.Yea my phone doesn’t support it unfortunately.
Hi already known issues of firmware v1.82 waiting for Fiio to correct these bugsNoticed a small bug: when switching from bluetooth to USB the sound becomes much quieter. Going to PEQ, changing to e.g. Jazz, and then back to 'Bypass' makes it as loud as BT. PEQ is on 'Bypass' on both BT and USB.
Not a disaster, but somewhat annoying to spend 10-15 seconds to fix it every time when switching the source. Also hard to compare BT and USB sound quality when volume changes.
One more thing I have noticed - Gain settings are screwed up.
When you
set Low - got Medium
set Medium - got High
set High - got Super High
set Super High - got Super High
thats an interesting choice , those burr brown dac chips that ifi uses are no good dont measure well and fairly dated at this point. the gryphon seems less powerful and connectivity wise they are fairly comparable. there are other choices in this price range from xduoo , shanling but if it works for you then greatI ended up sending my Q15 back after listening to an iFi Gryphon. The Q15 was great, but the Gryphon is more impressive. A bit more money, but well worth it.
It's a toolbox of connectivity, as well.
