mine unit died - wont charge / wont turn on i used it less then 10 times - maybe it is a sign to buy the fiio q5

Or maybe its a sign of a faulty unit and it's time for RMA?

To the powers that be at FiiO:

How about making a couple of alternative Lightning-to-microUSB cables for sale? Maybe sturdier and slightly longer than the one that came with the Q1MKII.

Thanks

Dear friend,

We don't produce the longer one currently. You could contact one of our agent(wang@ddhifi.com) if you need a longer one.

That’s a shame when you make some decent and sturdier cables like the 3.5mm to 3.5mm one as an example. I’d prefer not to buy from an “agent”.

Due to the MFi certificate restrictions, it would take a long time to manufacture that kind of cables, so currently we don't have those cables yet.

I've noticed that when playing from my iphone, when I get a call, and disconnect the cable to take the call, that when I re-connect, there is a loud pop. Could this damage the IEMs and what can be done about this?

Dear friend,

You would hear a slight pop when connect or disconnect because of the eletronic switch which is used for avoiding the impulse sound.

What are the best volume settings on the Q1 when running line-out to another amp?

I've been powering my HD600's with my Fiio Q1 MkII.

In search of better sound, I picked-up a Schiit Magni 3 amp. I'm now using the Q1 just as a dac, running line-out into the Magni 3.

My question is:

• What are the best volume settings on the Q1 when running line-out to another amp? Should I put the Q1 on high gain and turn the Q1 volume to max?

Low gain - high gain would simply raise the noise floor. And with the Windows volume mixer at 100%. You don't need to worry about the pot on the Q1ii as its outputting a line level signal anyway (pot won't make a difference).

For whatever reason, the pot on the Q1 does control the volume. Any idea why this might be happening?

 

[TheEldestBoy]

...the line-out is working the same as the 3.5mm headphone out (with both, I'm able to hear the effects of low/high gain AND I'm able to adjust the volume via the pot).

Does this mean that I'm not getting a true "line level signal" from the line-out? Why is this happening?

 

[Brooko]

Good question for FiiO. Line-out should be fixed. I haven't used mine for a while - need to check.

Hi @FiiO and @demond

Is the line-out on the Q1 MKII fixed?

 

[Plastivore]

Just to confirm: my unit behaves like that too. When I use the line out on my car's stereo, I need to set the volume knob to max.
