About the Q15
The FiiO Q15 is a portable USB DAC and headphone amplifier that also supports Bluetooth and coaxial digital input. It uses an AKM AK4191EQ and AK4499EX DAC combination, an XMOS XU316 USB processor, and a Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth chip. Its desktop mode uses external power rather than the battery and enables higher balanced-output power. The unit has a color display, app-based settings and equalization, and 3.5 mm single-ended and 4.4 mm balanced headphone outputs.
