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.

Thanks for the input. Do you use high gain?

Hi @FiiO and @demond

Is the line-out on the Q1 MKII fixed?

Dear friend,

The lineout output of the Q1MKII is volume adjustable. The volume and gain adjustments are achieved in the DAC chip of the Q1MKII. The lineout of the Q1MKII doesn't go through the amplifer module.

Best regards

Thanks for the info! For best sound, should I bet setting the Q1 to high gain and max volume? (I'm running it line-out into a Schiit Magni 3).

There is a Line Out? I never thought of doing that. It will be useful for my harder-to-drive headphones. How does one do Line Out on this? Thanks

Dear friend,

Gain does one thing and one thing only - increases volume across the entire frequency spectrum. It does it at a cost though. While lifting volume, it also lifts the noise floor (and you'll use more power). Basically we would recommend high impedance headphone for high gain.
You could have a try by yourself for a suitable setting.

How high are we talking about?

I'm using 50ohm and I prefer to have the gain set to high.

I was just about to get and pair the MK2 with my LG V10 android phone but after reading reviews it seems the MK2 is using the android phones battery instead of its own...

What a disappointment are there any android phones known to work properly with the MK2? Any planned updates to maybe fix this later?

You can get an OTG cable that doesn't drain the battery from your phone.

Dear friend,

Yes, you could use our CL06/ML06 for help: http://www.fiio.net/en/products/93

It seems Fiio heard the pleas of every android user begging to pair his budget smartphone with the Q1MK2:
https://fiio-shop.de/en/kabel/404/mm03-micro-usb-zu-micro-usb
Swap the language to german for a lengthy description that condenses into "you now can use the Q1MK2 with micro USB smartphones".

Please confirm, ill buy it and a FH1 in celebration if that really works.

Hi--Sorry, I know this is going way, way back but can you tell me what USB cable that is you're using? Like brand and model #?

I'm looking for a short USB Micro B to Micro B OTG to connect my new Q1 MkII to my FiiO X5III. Thanks for any help!
