Pros

Best bang for the buck dac money can buy. Works as a pc dac/amp combo and can decode hi-res out of the box without drivers. Built in amp is enough to drive my akg k702.

The only drawback is that you have to charge it up before use otherwise it is a dead q3. It works best with iphone and ipad. Tested on my galaxy note 10.

Apple device is most user intuitive and easiest to setup with a usb dac.



Cons

Worked fine for 2 weeks. Stop working with android phone. Usb jack is problematic. Tried to replace the usb with another cable. You’re lucky my device arrived unharmed, yet the outer box was dented.

    I noticed though that i needed to set my iphone or mac to 7080 volume sometimes for listening so i though perhaps a dacamp was needed


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    First the iphone adapter cable isnt right angled like the usbc to usbc one so i fear it will get damaged easily

    I also dont see any replacement cables fiio sells

    Secondly the roll off filter features is hard to tell which is active


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So basically the filters dont do much and if they did i wish there was a better led indicator to let you know which filter is on or if they are all off
