Any word on when this and the F9 will be out? That combination may end up being one of the best current values in audio.

Supports android ?

 

[Discman634]

Just making sure the balanced headphone cables I bought fo Pono will not work balanced on this right?

 

[RAQemUP]

This takes a 2.5 TRRS for balanced output like in the AK, Onkyo/Pioneer, and other Fiio stuff.

Read through the pictures and you'll find your answer.

Fiio. The Q1 was popular because it was a good DAC/Amp with good power output when used single-ended. That made it a good choice when people bought their first headphones like Audio-Technica M50X, Sennheiser HD598 or a budget IEM. These people won't be using balanced just as the majority of people won't either because the cables for balanced are expensive or not possible without DIY modifications to a headphone like the AKG K702.

The Q1 MKII has poor power output of 75mW into 32Ω when used unbalanced which is what most people will be using.

If the MKII replaces the MKI then I see that as a betrayal of Fiio to its first time budget customers who helped build your brand in the first place. The MKII looks to be a great product but it is for a different market segment.

Update: Fiio has responded. The MKI will stay in production along side the MKII.

Q1MKII will be released into market in August. F9 is ready for the market at the end of July.
