By using the line out if it has one or through the headphone out.

I just purchased the q1 and can't get it to work with my samsung s5 active.  I use this to connect it to my phone.

It works with my Windows 10 PC.  I tried HibyMusic.  DoP is on... it just plays through the phone.  Don't think I'm missing anything.  Though I have no way of testing the converter off ebay with anything else.  Spent hours researching and reading reviews.  Very frustrated atm.
 
EDIT:  Also paired it with my X3 2nd Gen with line out as an amp.  Every once in a while the audio would cut up bad.  I checked, it's genuine.  It really sounded great with the x3, it just cut up.

I think you need a "Micro usb to Micro usb" cord ie....

and that does not seem to be what you have. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?

Nah, a otg adapter should also work fine. Can you test it with something like a USB key?

Hello ShadowSkulkerer,

Three things to check:
1. Did you connect the adapter to the phone and the regular USB cable to the E17K or vice versa? Only one of these configurations will work (on my setup, connecting the adapter to the phone worked; connecting it to the E17K didn't)
2. Did you set "USB CHG" on the Q1 to the "OFF" position?
2. When you connect the Q1 to your S5, do you get a prompt on Hiby asking "Allow the app HibyMusic to access the USB device?" And did you answer "OK" to such a prompt?

Best regards,
Joe

Why are you calling it the e17k?  I thought that was the alpen 2...
 
1.  I tried it both ways.
 
2. USB CHG is off
 
3.  I get no prompt.  I tried usb audio player pro trial too.  Nothing listed in connections in phone settings.
 
And even more confusing why is the audio cutting out when I use it as just an amp?  You'd think if it was the cable you could tell by moving it around while listening.

It means your smartphone didn't actually detect Q1 on a hardware level, as if it doesn't even connect to your smartphone at all. You might want to search around and see if there is any setting you need to change to allow your smartphone to detect USB device. For example, my Xperia Z3+ requires manual detection via a quick launch button in the notification bar to detect any USB devices. There might be something similar on your smartphone as well.

I have 2 OnePlus One's, Mine and my Wife's.  I am running UAPP & Nuetron and I can Not get either to recognize my Q1.  I have used a OTG to Micro USB, a Micro USB to micro USB.  I have turned off the charging switch, I have unpluged restarted and done every combination I can think of.  My Q1 is easily recognized by my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7.
 
Any thoughts?  Really getting frustrated!!!

Picked up a Q1 to try with my B&O H6, and have been surprised and impressed. For whatever reason, I wasn't expecting much from a Fiio (brand bias, I know). But it's a really nice pairing. Have also tried a GeekOut 1000 and am finding I really prefer the Q1's sound. More depth, more natural bass without overdoing it (Bass Boost OFF & Gain LOW), and somehow just a nice natural sound that's fuller and warmer without coloring anything. Really impressed and thinking I may even keep this thing. I also like how it can double as an amp-only via 3.5mm in.

Does anyone know if this works in DAC mode with the note 3 and tidal app?

Works perfect with my HTC One.
