New Head-Fier
I have tried numerous dac/maps, and I'm still amazed by the Q1 MK2. Still cant believe the sound that comes out of this little device.
To follow up my previous posts with a conclusion, FiiO support provided me with an address to send my damaged Q1 MKII after I sent them some photos, and about a week after mailing it out, I received a brand new one in the mail. I had a very good customer service experience, in the end.
I was within the warranty period, just barely (less than a month left).Were you within the warranty period?t same thing has happened to my unit but to be honest I haven't had time with work and the run up to Christmas to carry on taking to FiiO support about it.
Question. Will this amp run the 55 ohm k240s to 100-110 dB? I’m hearing impaired so that’s why I listen so loud. I can run them off the es100 I have and get audible sound, but no clarity. I currently have the nx3s, but I want a amp that has both 3.5 se and 2.5 balanced. I would be feeding it signal from the es100 as I need the eq to boost the frequencies I have a loss at.

K240 is 54 ohm and 104 dB SPL/V
Input those figures and it calcs the minimum voltage current and power required. In your case to reach 110 dB, 2 Vrms voltage, 36.36 mA, and 72.73 mW
For 115 dB, those numbers rise to 3.55 Vrms, 64.55 mA, and 229.14 mW
If you look at FiiOs specs (https://www.fiio.com/q1mkii_parameters) you get and I'm assuming you are single ended - not balanced (otherwise you need to recable):
75mW into 32 ohm load, 11 mW into 300 ohm load.
4.4 Vp-p => 1.5 Vrms
150 mA
So its going to be voltage starved and the overall power is barely sufficient (you'd have no head-room)
Look at the FiiO A5 instead >> https://www.fiio.com/a5_parameters
Has anyone compared the balanced end to the SE? Does it provide any differences besides power? Wondering if it’s worth it to get a balanced cable for my ER4XR.
Hi All,
The usb-in on my Q1 has loosened over time, to the point now where my lightning-to-usb connector won't stay connected to the Q1. The music repeatedly cuts-out and I have to fiddle with the connection to get it going again.
Anyone else have this issue?
I assume that buying a new cable won't fix the issue, as the issue is actually with the port on the Q1.
After owning the Q1mk11 for 2 years, it might be time to switch to something different (I'm considering the new ifi Hip Dac)...
