I own the Q1 and the HE-400i and, based on my listening preferences, there is plenty of power to spare.  That said, the HE-400i does sound fuller and demonstrates improved soundstage with a higher quality amp such as the Project Ember.  

Hmm i would say there is just enough power, might be lacking for some classical music or just enough depeding on how loud you want it. Im running my 400i out of the little dot 1+ hybrid tube which is much better suited, ended up giving my Q1 to my brother to use with his blackberry as i have my fiio x3ii anyways for portable and dac which is technically better. Ever since i bought my x3ii ive been used my x1 strictly for the gym and have not had alot of use for the q1. I also picked up a cheap used xonar d2 soundcard which i plug into my little dot instead of the q1 usb dac which is what i used before.

There was nothing bad about the q1 with the 400i... the warmth was nice, just lacked some authority and as someone mentioned the 400i sound better with a thicker sound such as found on a Hybrid tube amp.

Dear Sp12er3,

Did you try another headphones but the issue remains?

Best regards

 

[Sp12er3]

Ah yes, IEM, earbuds open/closed over ear, they all have the same problem.. Doesn't happen on any other source.. The cracke does sound louder on IEM, esp my Heaven II

Dear Sp12er3,
 
Did the issue you mentioned happens before? It only happens when swtiching the volume but will disappear after finishing adjustment? When did you buy the Q1?
 
Best regards

 

[Sp12er3]

Yeah. It happens when I try to Adjust the volume, (can be mend, is by unnaturally turning volume up and down a couple of time) sometimes after That it goes away, sometimes it doesn't. I bought it around March last year. Should I sent it over myself? Or is it better to go to the dealer first (bought from local Jaben)

Hi, I'm thinking of buying one for the office and my nexus 6
I use the Google Play Music app
Only with plug-in for usb-otg works?
I think I have read that for Q1 to do its magic is necessary certain applications that I do not use
If not, what would be my best solution?

Dear Sito Lupion,
 
The Q1 was designed chiefly as a USB DAC for computers;  it has not been purposely designed for use with smartphones and we make no claim that it would work.  For USB decoding from smartphones, you may try turning off USB charging on the  Q1 and then connecting it to your smartphone with a USB OTG cable, but we cannot guarantee that it would work.
You may try this two APP in your phones to see if it helps: 
USB Audio Player Pro
Hiby Music
 
Best regards

thanks for answering
That is my doubt ... I do not use any of those applications. I use Google Play Music
 
If the Q1 is not going to work with Play Music that another option I have? 
I would like something in that price range and very portable and that when plugged with otg cable can improve the quality of the streaming
