My take on Q1 Mk 2

I 've got an idea for a bezel case integrated band so that the screen does not get blocked off by the bands.
The band should work like a silicon case on the backside of the smartphone where the dac/amp would slide into.
If simple and low cost I 'm sure people will be buying dac/amps just to fill the band with something.

i want to use it as DAC only, any problems with the line out port?

Q1 MK II has a line input, se output, and balance output.

Edited: I did not know line out existed.

Q1 MK II has a line input, se output, and balance output. Depending on your amp setup it may provide you with quality enough source signal.
But technically there was is no line output that I know of.

The line input doubles also as an output - it’s why it has the dual arrow in the silk-screening

Thanks. I just learned something new. The label on the tour unit was not very legible. And so let me update my post.

In case anyone did not know there is a black friday Fiio sale, get it. Go to your local Amazon app and a simple search is all it takes.

Just thinking out loud, if Fiio X7 can transport to Q1 MKII then there would be a lot of flexibility. I wonder if this already exist.
In fact I wonder if Fiio will add couple of more features.

1. Allow any other single ended dap to be able to transport into Q1 MKII.
2. Allow a usb hub to connect multiple daps in the Fiio family with multiple Q1 MKII so that a network party can be had. I think a meet or retail store or a headfi member living it up would like this feature.

i asume that will sound better than my dragonfly 1.2 as a dac?

You may have a try by yourself first.
Best regards

Dragonfly black is not MFi so a camera kit is needed.

If anyone is waiting for the tour turn, I think you have to contact Fiio. Anyway I sent the tour unit to the next person.

I had distortion on mine, but I had hacking on my ipad mini. So hopefully the next person can get better overall experience than I had.

Just a thought - since the Balanced route outputs double the power, could we be able to drive unbalanced headphones through this port with an adapter of some sort?

No.
