Great review. I’ve had the Q15 for over 3mo. now. I came from the ifi gryphon. It was a definite upgrade imho. The dynamic range you can get in the desktop mode is astounding. The flagship AKM chips really live up to the hype. I have had 0 issues since I updated to the latest firmware 0.36. The PEQ works great. This is on all of my iOS devices.

WOW amazing review! Love that you bring up the hifiman he1000 and ef600 as I was looking at them too! Great camera shots as well! Love that you said it in your description that you are using a canon rf 50 f1.2! A lot of KZreadrs out there don't even bother to mention that... I am subscribing! In before this channel blow up to 1 million subs! Love your videos and your energy too!! Suggestion would be, I love that you talk about the BTR15 and IFI but more comparisons and/or earphone/headphone matchings would be nice too! Also, for the b-rolls, I think it would be better to have a slower and smoother panning, as it is a bit dizzy now. I am not sure did you do the focus-out-of-focus shot intentionally or just the camera is auto focusing, but in case you are doing it intentionally, I think slow down the focusing would be good too! Keep it up and I am looking forward to your next videos! ♥♥👍👍

Woah, lovely to hear you're enjoying it!

Edit: Just found the comparison on your website, I didn't realize you did written reviews as well. Amazing content, thank you so much! You're one of the few people I've seen that have listened to both the Shanling H5 and the Q15. I've seen people wondering on Head-Fi how they sound but no one has actually made the comparison so I was wondering what your thoughts on them were. I'm leaning towards the H5 since it feels like a finished product but I'm worried about battery longevity since there's no way to bypass the battery which wouldn't be an issue with the Q15 but it has had major software issues since it launched. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, Does the PEQ in the FiiO Control App working with streaming services like Qobus or Tidal? Thanks 🙏

Hii, It should work. I usually do not use it, but it should apply to the device, not just one app in particular.

If i already have a dap hiby r6 III do you recommend me this device for headphones like senn hd660 s2 and hd800s? Or my hiby can deliver enough power for those headphones? Thanks

@AudiophileHeaven

2 ай бұрын

Hiby R6 III should have enough power for both actually, especially if you get balanced cables, I wouldn't upgrade to a Q15 for them at the moment, altough Q15 has a much higher power if you want lower distoriton and better control. Loudness wise, they would be loud from R6 III too.

Thanks! can you compare Q15 with the xDuoo xd05 bal2 please?

I'm looking to buy the m23 also. The last music player I had was the Zune player. I understand these fiio dap have better dac chip now. My question is how those Dap compared to a smartphone in terms of music quality? I mainly want to use it in my vehicle which already have a decent sounds system. Honestly I'm not sure if this would be a worthy investment.

@AudiophileHeaven

For a car, if you're using the AUX cord, the sound of the a DAP would be much better than a smartphone. If you're using Bluetooth, it would depend on whether you're using LDAC or not, and most smartphones typically have a stronger BT antenna than a DAP

How is Bluetooth latency?

@AudiophileHeaven

3 ай бұрын

About similar to other Bluetooth devices. It depends on the Bluetooth codec, not much on the receiver quality, there is aptX LL if you need low latency, which is about 1 frame or ~50-70ms, you're likely to not notice it. Wired connection has zero latency for gaming and music video watching

After my experience with the BTR-15, I’m turned off from FiiO. Their hardware is really nice but the software is atrocious. My unit was so buggy even after firmware updates. If FiiO and Qudelix could just work together…

@AudiophileHeaven

3 ай бұрын

Hm... I had no issues with BTR15 so far, but I updated it right out of the package. Q15 came with a beta firmware installed, and took 2-3 upates to be up and running with no bugs. I know for sure Oppo and OnePlus smartphones have issues with Bluetooth and USB DACs, there may be other brand incompatibilities too...
