Dear friend,

Would the issue happen when using in the computer? The ios 11.3 you downloaded is the stable version as well?

Best regards

More testing:
Doesn't drop audio on PC, iPhone 7, or iPhone X so far. It only did it on my iPhone 6Plus. I'm good with that - - it's either a problem with my particular 6Plus or all of them. But since I have other phones it's not worth tracking down - - I'll just not use the 6Plus.

Thanks for following up!

Taking a look to A5 size, seems a little big for his like. Thank you!

Does have the option of upgrading to the X5?

If he does, then be can just use the FiiO AM5 amp module with the X5.

I recently purchased a FiiO Q1 mkII and NewFantasia cable from Amazon. My hope was to take advantage of the Q1 mkII's increased power from its balanced-out... but use my current (3.5mm connector) headphones. The cable's description specified that it was compatible with the balanced-out of the FIIO X5III, so I expected it to work in my case.

Unfortunately, the cable did not produce proper sound. Compared to my double-sided 3.5mm cable connected to the SE-out of the Q1, the NewFantasia cable produced a much narrower sound-stage. Could this be an issue with the cable's design or construction? Or could it be that the cable not compatible with the Q1 mkII's pin-out configuration?

FiiO, can you confirm that the Q1 mkII processes each channel independently, with it's own + & - (not a shared ground) via the balanced-out? Also, is the Q1 mkII's balanced pin-out configuration (tip to base) R- R+ L+ L- ? Is this design unique to the Q1 mkII... or the same as the X5 mkIII?

Finally, should this KK Cable adapter from Amazon would serve my purpose? One verified buyer confirmed that it did "work well" with his Q1 mkII.

Dear friend,

Yes, the banlanced port of the Q1MKII share the same definition like the X5III. We can not confirm whether the adapter you mentioned works with the Q1MKII because we did not test it yet, sorry.

Best regards

Dear friend,

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe you could try to use the FiiO Music or Hiby Music to see if it helps?

Best regards

I'm really enjoying my Q1 mkII. Just got a balanced cable from it to my HE-400S headphones. More volume and detail and I'm running it in low gain instead of high!

Seems like an improvement in sound but I need to do a lot more A/B testing to be sure.

I got these cables from New Fantasia:

Compared to using a standard double-sided 3.5mm cable from my Q1 mkII's SE-out, this NewFantasia cable on Amazon produces a significantly more narrow (smaller) sound-stage from the FiiO's balanced-out. I'm using various headphones with 3.5mm input... all with the same result.

FiiO, do you know why this might be happening? NewFantasia assured me that the connector was constructed correctly: R- R+ L+ L-. Could it be that balanced output -to- unbalanced input is not possible without active circuitry?

Also, can the Q1 mkII be firmware-updated? Thanks.

The problem with stuttering on the iPhone is due to the phone’s True Tone setting. Turn off True Tone in Display & Brightness setting and it plays perfectly.

Also does anyone know if you can listen through this on an iPhone and charge at the same time using the Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge Rockstar cable?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t but I’d like some confirmation.

Thanks

Interesting, I'll try it if I use the 6 Plus again. I haven't had the issue on my 6S or X.

Thanks!

Mine was cutting out on the iPhone X from the moment I first used it, but luckily found this advice that worked. Most people were saying to turn on airplane mode but that was doing nothing.
Apparently its a pretty common problem with any dac/amp connected to iPhones.
