[FiiO]

I can’t find how to connect a Fiio m15s to the Fiio Q7 to use only the amp part of the Q7. Is that possible? With the c9 I used the line out 4,4mm of the m15s but not 4,4mm input on the Q7

Dear friend,

Hi, the Q7 does not support line in. So you could not connect M15S to Q7 to use only the amp part of the Q7.

Best regards

That's a thing I've wondered why FiiO hasn't included in their DAC/Amps

Is the extra circuitry for line in a lot harder to add in?

Dear friend,

1. The requirement of Line in is decreasing. Besides, many front-end have higher quality digital interface.

2. We need to add more EQ algorithms into our Protable Amplifier and DAC which focus in decoding. If the EQ algorithm is added in the line input, it needs to be post-processed by the ADC, so the signal fidelity will be reduced.

Yeah I guess that's fair, but seeing as the Q7 is FiiO's flagship DAC/Amp it would have been nice to have the flexibility of just using it in standalone amp mode, that way users can still use it when newer DACs come out.

I don't think people will expect the standalone amp mode to include EQ processing to be fair so not having it should be fine.

Maybe we'll see something like that with the Q9? XD

Dear friend,

We do not have the plan of Q9 currently. But we will report your feedback to the product manager about that.
