FiiO Q1MKII- Native DSD Support, XMOS USB DAC chip, DAC AK4452, 20 hours

Yep, battery not rapidly depleting on my smartphone, and was able to run through the Q1 mkII internal battery and need to charge it. Also, that same ebay seller has this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/10cm-Right...TG-Cable-4-DAC-Digital-Amplifier/301669713346 which seems to be what you need. Fingers crossed it also lacks the ability to charge.

Mine just arrived, and can confirm no draining of battery using this cable, but it doesn't like to stay in my LG G6, so unfortunately I cannot use it with this phone. I recently picked up an inexpensive iPhone SE, so I'll probably just stick with this for out and about listening.

I read through the thread but couldn'y figure out the purple light thingy. Would anyone be kind enough to explain what it means etc etc. Thanks

Blue = on. Red = charging. Purple = combo.

Mine with L27 --> A35 remain blue :confused:

Thats good then, means it's not charging.

I need to order one of those cables too from the ebay seller.

Btw did anyone think the USB cable included with the Q1ii is a bit flimsy? Some people said in their reviews that it's weak, someone even said it didint work for them out of the box and that they had to buy another one. Mine seems to be okay so far though, fingers crossed.

I use my iPhone 7 as my player since I stream from Spotify premium and tidal so I am wondering how easy it is with the band to attach and remove from my phone.
Also how is it width wise in your front pocket of jeans/shorts/sweats etc? I go on long walks with my German Shepard but I don’t know how I feel about the idea of spending 3.5 times as much for the Q5 to get the Bluetooth function so that way I can plug my CA Lyra 2’s into the dac/amp and keep my phone in my back pocket using bluetooth

Well BT functionality is something you will have to decide on. It is indeed more convenient however I prefer remaining wired as far as possible. As for size, the profile would a a bit bigger than the Sony A35. I am not a fan of attaching the band to the phone. I prefer using the A35 strapped on as digital transport with the Q1 Mk2. DSD128 is played effortlessly with the combo. I usually use either the ibasso IT01s or a chi-fi 6 BA iem.

EDIT: You could try something like the 3M dual lock system.

3M dual lock is great stuff!! Works wonders for me, I totally recommend it instead of rubber bands even.

Can you guys guess whats holding my Q1ii onto my laptop's cooling stand :p
