Wait, OnePlus3 only has internal memory? I might've missed that information.. If its true, good luck fitting all your lossless music collections, and remember it's never hurt to have some space left

Usually those who are with Smart Phone and shopping for separate DAC/AMP are either hold some odd GB's 320kbps mp3 / 256 kbps AAC as well online streaming account....They don't usually need of thousand GB (TB) space to store Flac / Alac / DSD files.  
 
Else they will invest for Off Line Hi-Res Player.

Whew only the dual fullsize SD cards/2.5 SSD equipped TOTL DAP/transport can reach that figure.. Just saying as internal (ranging from 32-128 nowadays) is usually just enough to hold collections+OS+Apps+files, thus the popularity for micro SD equipped phones. Lossless for portable use worth it or not, not gonna argue about that as it all depend on each person's belief and how much effort they're willing to spend.

I  just noticed that the LED light on my Q1 started blinking. It's blue but every second it would flash purple/red momentarily. What does this mean & has anyone experienced this before?
 
Also, used it with my HTC phone just now..music would cut out/static sometimes but not very often.

Dear fonkepala
 
Did you turn on the CHG when using the Q1?
The status LED acts like that: Blue--powered on; red--charging; green--charging completed; flashing red--low battery.
It seems your Q1 is in low battery status.
And the Q1 is originally designed for the computer but not the phones. So it may be not compatible to your phone.
 
Best regards

Hi @Fiio, thanks for taking the time to reply.
 
No, I didn't turn on the 'CHG' button when using the Q1.
 
Ah, I see, ok...but in my case the LED flashing more of a purple color rather than red. Could be a mix between blue & red I guess.
 
In that case, I don't think I'm getting a full 30 hours of use out of my Q1 then. By my guesstimation, I've only used it for around 10 hours or so when the LED starting flashing. And that is use with IEM's 100%, no full size/hard to drive headphones. Gain set to always on LOW.
 
I've heard/read that last statement, that use of the Q1 is not 100% supported for phones. On some phones it may work while some may not, so I'm well aware

Hey all! I've had a problem with my Q1 over the last few weeks. It seems to be dropping/cutting out occasionally, and completely randomly. I've tried it on my PC using different USB ports (USB 2 & 3) as well as my laptop and phone with the same issue. The Q1 can be fully charged and still reproduce the issue. Has anyone else had this or know a fix before I return it? Thanks!

Dear Jayden16,
 
Have you tried another USB cables to see whether it helps? How do you collect it with your phone?
 
Best regards.

Hi there! I've tried various micro-USB cables as well as headphones and have the same issue. I connect it to my Nexus 6P with an OTG cable. It was working fine on all devices until a few weeks ago. Thanks

Just thought I'd share my experience using the Q1 as an amp only with my X1 or my HTC One M8 phone. For me, I find that using the Q1 as an amp for the X1 & M8 (via aux cable from X1's headphone out to Q1's line in) the sound quality isn't much improved. No difference to soundstage/separation that I can discern, either. What I'm hearing is a lack of energy, and a sort of 'muffling'., often I'd have to switch to high gain just to get to a decent volume (and this with IEM's, not headphones) In fact, I'd go so far to say that I prefer using the X1 & HTC M8 without the Q1's amp, as I prefer the X1's & M8's sound straight up. I'm not sure why this happens, but that's the way I'm hearing it. Perhaps the X1's & M8's amp is more than sufficient & maybe even better than the amp in the Q1.
 
However,the Q1 works very well as a DAC+Amp, with both my HTC M8 and Macbook.
 
 
Ok, will do. I'll charge my Q1 fuly again & re-test. I'll let you know the results here. Thanks!

I have the same issue with my refurb FiiO E7. As a booster amp it is totally useless when connected to my Nokia N8 HP out. But used as a DAC/amp via USB it's just gorgeous with both my N8 and my Samsung netbook. The only problem is with my netbook running Windoze 7 as I hear short clicks/ drop outs every 5 to 20 seconds. Very annoying. No such clicks when I watch a YouTube via the FiiO E7 though ...

My Q1 doesn't completely eliminates the static sound my all alumunium VAIO has, that and a "krrst" sound when I turn the volume knob is my only complaint of it.
