Overall then, the Fiio Q1 amp is the best value for money USB DAC/Amp I have ever experienced. It is quite surprising how Fiio were able to get the price as low as they have for the amount of functionality that this new Q-series device has.
Fiio have recently released increasingly priced products from their X5 DAP to their E-series of portable amps; a far cry from their mantra of affordable entry-level offerings. It came as a surprise therefore, that their latest DAC/amplifier emerged from out of the blue to pay homage to Fiio’s original philosophy.
