Could you recommend a headphone amp to use with iPod/pads, I'm using my shiny new B&W P7's? What's your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, you'd have to up your budget to a lightning compatible DAC/amp like the oppo HA-2 I'll look into it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To use the Q1 with an Apple device you need the camera connection kit as stated here: https://www.head-fi.org/f/threads/fiios-new-q1-portable-dac-amp-lets-drink-to-happy-listening.780726/ Otherwise as I said the budget would have to be upped to a Oppo HA-2 or Chord Mojo or similar, so you are better off with the Q1 + Camera Connection Kit Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason for having active noise cancelling, I hate it personally and would always opt for a good normal closed back design, or in-ears. Also is Bluetooth a must, and what kind of music do you listen to? Edited May 12, 2017 by ostewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
