Audio46's Opinion
The FiiO Q11 is the perfect neutral DAC/amp to pair with any kind of IEM. And even with your most sensitive earphones, you shouldn’t hear any noise. It may not do much to enhance your soundstage or improve resolution, but the fact that it can support your hi-res files as well as offer a balanced connection, is reason enough to get it if you haven’t yet invested in a DAC/amp.

Ambient light window
Your ticket to the HiFi world
The ambient light window not only dazzles you with lights that indicate the current sampling rate or DSD format, but also allows you to elegantly peer at the internals currently giving you your music.
Light blue: PCM sampling rate 48kHz or below
Yellow: PCM sampling rate above 48kHz
Green: DSD
*The Q11 can be controlled by the FiiO Control app, with settings of ambient light on/off, filter selections, etc.
Common outputs
For the everyday listener
The 3.5mm SE and 4.4mm balanced outputs are clearly outlined by a golden ring, allowing for more versatility and better sound quality for music on the go.
*The 3.5mm headphone output also supports coaxial output.
Two-in-one knob
An elegant fusion
The silky and perfectly weighted feel of the volume knob allows you to precisely dial in your desired volume. It also conveniently acts as an on/off switch.
