How good it is if the iPod nano 6 is still around. It'd be a dream of OCD! Look at the similar size and shape omg delicious! A true HiFi on the go.

I am a fan of the Fiio E11, and this looks like its little brother! I also really like the bass boost settings on the E11, so i am excited to see the A1 has brought that back. Very convenient size, perfect for IEMs and portable use!

I am a proud owner of several different Fiio devices, including E06 portable amp. Not a bad thing speaking about sound, but totally uncomfortable and anti-ergonomic, comparing with other Fiio's products. So for me it is quite interesting the practicability of a newbee and loudness/quality of headphones at 55 Ohms and greater.

Looks neat! I have an E18 that I had originally bought to pair with my phone but since I upgraded the phone it is now being used as the source component for my partner's setup as my new phone has an excellent DAC. The E18's size just seemed too much of an encumbrance when all I really needed it for after the upgrade was to be an amp. But this looks like it could pair well with my current mobile situation. Moto X (2nd gen) > A1 > PM3!

The Fiio E06 was my first amp. I have a Fiio X5 now, but I would love to have an A1 to use with my phone.

  Does it have an internal battery, or must it be powered by USB?  Does it have the power to power the more common t50RP mods?  

Hi PoochZag, 
 
A1 has internal battery, the Output power of A1 is ≥78mW (16Ω loaded).
Recommended earphone impedance: 16-100Ω.

  Well, coming from someone who has tried the ever-first FiiO portable headphone amp powered by the AAA battery, the company has certainly gone a long way!! I suppose this still charges by USB right? Since I still have its old clip-on cousin.

Whenesday , glad to hear that you still have our E3 , Potable Headphone AMP by AAA battery. you are right,the A1 charges by USB now.

  Will it be released worldwide at the same date? Specifically asking for India?

Hi abhinit90, it is already released into market, and we did arrange one shipment of A1 to our sales agent in India last week.
