    Hi guys, if you are still looking for the hard to get (and expensive) cables from Japan for your Android device try this Startech cable p/n: UUUSBOTG8IN. It is readily available everywhere (Amazon, etc...) and it costs a few bucks. It works like a charm for my phone (Galaxy A5 2016) and my tablet (Asus Z500M with a USB-C adapter). Good luck!

      Guys, just get on Google and search for FiiO CL06 (If you need usb-c > micro usb). I tried loads of different cables, some said they were otg, some didn't. All charged the Q1ii. The CL06 didn't.

    Hello BGGAR! I have a crucial question and you are the only one qualified who can answer: I listen music on a setup made of a Note4, Fiio Q1 MkII and amazing BGVP DM6 using Poweramp player. It's worth buying a DAP with sound quality in mind? I am very very satisfied with the sound produced by this 3 devices. Did you use Poweramp (version 3) as a player? Can you tell me some informed impressions
    about this? Is the sound quality of a 300-400$ DAP better than this setup? Thanks a lot!

      Just my opinion but a phone's software will always top out the software of midrange to lowrange DAPs. And a dedicated DAC/amp will always have better quality than DAPs with the same cost.

    Big fan of your reviews.
    You’re saying that you would choose the Q1 over the X7 with these particular headphones. Is the sound of the Q1 really that comparable to the X7? I assumed that the X7 would be a big upgrade over something like the Q1, because of the DAC, etc.

      @BadGuyGoodAudioReviews  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The recent owner of this device. First of all I tested the work for my android on neutron player. It can run dsd files, but probably not in native mode, since the indicator does not light up. Some dsd 256 even slow down when playing.
    Since the device did not have a similar device before and the player was different, it's simpler, then maybe the chelo could not understand.
    What players can recommend? So that he could always work in offline mode.

    • @BadGuyGoodAudioReviews

    There is no point of pairing the Q1ii on a DAP because it will just bypass the DAC of the DAP and run its own DAC then double-Amp the output. Pairing it with a phone or PC makes sense because you need the DAC+Amp.

    @binhphuongdongoc8179 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi, sorry but one thing I don't understand that how can you be sure your phone is not charging the Fiio Q1. Normally for OTG connection, there is always (sorry to emphasize this, but "always") a host and a slave. The micro-USB to micro-USB you are using with A is a host and B is a slave. And host always charge slave, which means I am afraid that your phone is charging the Q1 without your notice. I know you showed that when turning off the Q1, phone does not charge it. But what if phone will charge when you turn Q1 on?
    Can you help to confirm this concern? Do you notice the battery lever of your phone when using this connection?
    Thanks

      Hi, I have tried your setup with my Motorola Nexus 6: I can confirm that it works. Thank you for the video. However, I am not sure about the charging matter though. Just as I said in the comment: OTG works the way that host device (Phone) will always power the slave (FiiO Q1). In your video, you showed that phones does not charge (No red light), could that be because the FiiO battery is full already? So it does not charge anymore, but still, FiiO continuously drain phone battery instead of using it's internal. At least, my FiiO does that: When the battery not full, it will show red light, but when full already, no red light even the power is fed in.

      Make sure the Q1MKII is fully charged. It will attempt to drain when on low battery. Yes in developer mode you set the usb for audio. I think it is a QiMKII looking for juice it really needs. Turn on phone, then plug from qi to phone. should be no light.

    Hi!!....also for cell phone go? (samsung galaxy s7 edge right?) And then the FiiO Q1 mark II have a cable included in the package in which I can connect the phone to the FiiO ?? Or will I have to spend more money? (And I also read that since it was made more for apple, the device when connected to the phone samsung download the battery, and then I read that I have to download an app on the phone / computer to not create these problems and similar, in addition, the cable since the package I think it is for apple attack if I have to buy for s7 edge so I think micro usb / micro usb must be * specific * for dac? are comments that I read, are nonsense or is there any underlying truth?

    What apps u use to play Dsd file?
    How to get Dsd file?
    I running both platforms Android and iOS.
    Is it Dsd file much better than Flac?
    How about I stream Lossy file 320kbps with Spotify, any different?
    Sorry for all noob questions, think I already found new hobby 😅

    • @BadGuyGoodAudioReviews

      I use Hiby music player app and set DSD playback to "native". Yes I think DSD is better than flac but flac is just fine. Lossy files are missing a little info in the higher but audible region but for streaming it is what it is. Lossless streaming is ideal. I don't stream so actually I am talking out my ass about all things streaming :)
