Is it acceptable to use such an adapter with the QA361?
it is impossible to tell how it is wired internally - and that is what matters. reuglar 3.5trs is T=L+, R=R+, and S= shared ground (this is for single-ended)
2.5trrs has conections for L=, L-, R+ and R-. (No shared ground, and - isn;t really ground, per se, hence balanced connection)
3.5trrs is not that common, used mostly in China (HIFiman, e.g.). It has the same L&R +&- 4-wires as 2.5, but they connect to the t r r and s in different order on the 2.5 and 3.5. Wrong connection = smoke comes out of your DAP, amp or phone!

My 361 came with a wire dongle adapter.....

I switched to QA361 after Cayin N3Pro for the attack and punch, but I want to darken the sound, tell me, Oriolus BA300S is good for this?
Any experience of using this combination?
I don’t have any experience with it, but I don’t think anyone has this combination. The amp module of QA361 is very good as it is. For the price of the BA300S, I would rather buy a darker tone IEM or headphone to pair with the QA361.

I've run in to an issue if anyone can help. I've put in the 64GB Micro SD card which came with the player, I added music to the SD card, but the player is has been stuck on scan music for the last hour.

Why could this issue be happening?

Hi everyone! I just registered my account here because I feel that I have to share my impressions with the QA361. Since I read a lot of reviews and this whole thread I decided to buy the qa361 via amazon.de directly from Shenzenaudio. Interested in pure sound performance, I listened intensely both wav-only firmwares, wav-1.0.4 and wav-1.0.5.
Before I released my first review on amazon.de I asked Clark (QLS contact) if it’s possible to get an updated wav-only firmware, that has deeper soundstage compared to wav-1.0.5. He sent me wav-1.0.6 and it sounds awesome!!! This upgrade boosts the sound quality a lot. Clark explained that they optimized the whole code implementation and I think it reduced the jitter a lot. There is more clarity and more room than ever! I’m very satisfied with this little killer machine. Sorry for my long post 🙈

Interesting ... soundstage depth has been a bit of a stumbling block to me truly feeling the love for the QA361; I hope wav-1.0.6 gets formally released.
