    • Good portable DAC headphone amplifier
Size: Q3-MQA
Easy to set up , a decent portable DAC headphone amplifier with adequate power to drive most iem, sound better when compare with DAC dongle and Fiio BTR15, a bit under power when pushing headphone with high impedance when turning loud , need to turn on gain button to compensate. I bought this at $72 discount price, good value for money. ... show more

    • Love.
Size: Q3-MQA
I have a number of DACs for various purposes. This one is married to my MacBook Pro, both at my desk and on the move. It’s more than powerful enough to sub as my desktop DAC at home, and the battery allows me to work on long flights without the DAC draining my laptop battery. Hence, a perfect pairing. I appreciate the bass/gain boosts, but I generally run it at normal gain and bass levels. I like the FiiO natural sounding neutral balance and clarity it brings out of the native mastered sound, clear and full without distorting the engineer’s intentions. I have two other FiiO DACs, the KA13, BTR15, and both the UTWS3 and the upgraded UTWS5. All work great in their intended space (wired or Bluetooth + cable, or true wireless Bluetooth). All have a similar, but still individually identifiable sound signature, and I pair them intentionally with both my source and IEM choice. I like the Q3 with my FH9 IEMs to drive every detail, the portable KA13 with either my FH9 or FH15, and the FH15 or Shure 425 with the BTR15 or UTWS5 depending on how much freedom of movement I need. All told, they allow me to get the best listening experience whatever my circumstances. ... show more

    • Almost perfect pair to iPhone.
Size: Q3-MQA
I shopped for a DAC/headphone amp that would work as cleanly as possible with an iPhone. I did not want to buy a bunch of cords, cables and dongles just to connect as that would defeat the whole purpose of a portable set up. I stumbled across this almost by accident. First impressions: unboxing revealed nice packaging with multiple accessories. - 2 small and 2 large clear silicone bands to secure it to its source. - a very short *directional* fabric sheathed USB-C to Lightning cable. - a very short USB-C to USB-C cable. - USB-A to USB-C charging cable. - Silicone butterfly strap. I am assuming to secure it to a phone but it doesn't work well for that. - A nicely bound instruction manual. I did not get the fabric pouch that I've seen in some photos. After charging it up and downloading some tracks off of both Apple Music and Tidal I plugged in my headphones, my iPhone, turned it on, hit play and....... nothing. hmmm After messing around with everything for a while I realized the USB-C - Lightning is directional. Once it was plugged in correctly it worked! My very first impression was how very quiet it was. There was no hiss, static or even any pop or click when turning it on. The sound is very very good and the amp has enough headroom to drive my Etymotic ER4SRs over the volume of an airplane cabin. The Q3 can also be set to function strictly as a headphone amp. I have not tested that configuration though. The RGB light on mine has not ever changed to magenta for MQA files or green for DSD. I've downloaded and played both. I'm not sure if the fault is mine or the Q3's. *Edit: Just want to add that the RGB LED still has never been anything other than Blue or Red. So, it might be faulty. I'll try to contact FiiO support. My only other complaint is, as others have mentioned, the USB-C cable is sensitive to bumps. I mean slight bumps. The music will stop playing and often you'll assume it's between tracks because there is no pop or click. Overall I am very happy with the Q3, it's a solid, inexpensive pick that pairs easily with an iPhone or iPad. ... show more

    • Great sound, compact, abundant accessories
Size: Q3-MQA
This portable DAC/HPA punches much higher above it's price point, as usual for FiiO products. Paired with IEMs that cost $3100 and $2900 respectively (Empire Ears Legend Evos and Noble Sultans using a 2.5mm Project 8 Plato x Socrates cable by Eletech) and over-heads that cost $4500 each (Audeze LCD-5's and Focal Utopias using a 4-pin XLR balanced with cable with 4.4mm adapter by Cardas), the soundstage is wide enough and the 3D imaging is satisfactory considering this tiny portable only cost $150. It's sound quality is fantastic. Paired with FiiO FDX's, FH9's, and FA9's all were pleasant considering the difference in tier compared to the previously mentioned IEMs. The bass is deep and clear - and does not muddy the mids. Treble is not fatiguing. Pairing something this inexpensive with my higher end gear is something I would only do with FiiO, and perhaps Topping. I think the Q3 competes well with the desktop FiiO K5 Pro (which can support 32/768 and native DSD512) and the DAP FiiO M11 Plus LTD (which in USB DAC mode can support 32/384 and native 256) in terms of cost/value. If you are considering this versus the FiiO K3, I would implore you to buy this, the Q3, hands down. My iPhone, Samsung Fold Z, Windows 11 PC, and Macbook Air recognized the Q3 immediately using Roon. This DAC, like my other (significantly more expensive and similarly spec-ed) trans-portable DAC/amps, turned my iPhone into a fantastic Roon-endpoint. I already had the Windows drivers installed because I own other FiiO DACs and DAPs which use the same ASIO driver (which is required for DSD over PCM sampling). No driver is required for WASAPI. The driver can be downloaded from the FiiO website. Unlike my other portable DACs (Chord Mojo, Chord Hugo2, CEntrance M8, Questyle M15, iFi xDSD, FiiO K3, FiiO M11 in USB DAC mode, FiiO M17 in USB DAC mode), the Q3 is able to unfold MQA files which is an added bonus. While I do not necessarily drink the MQA kool-aid, I do own several hundred MQA files so it is nice to have a portable that is able to completely unfold the files . ~~~ Where the Q3 really shines, for me, is as a portable amplifier for my DAPs using the 3.5mm jack as a line-in and the balanced jacks as the phone-outs. Paired with my FiiO M11… holy buckets! The analog sound is PHENOMENAL for a $699 DAP + $149 portable amp. Blows away DAPs at twice the price without an external amp! This alone makes the Q3 worth twice the price for me. ... show more

    • Broke after 6 months
Size: Q3-MQA
It sounds good and provides power. However, poor build quality and it worked for only 6 months. Then it would not charge. Wh3n it ran out of batteries, it died.
