FAQ regarding smartphone support
1. Does the Q1 support Android USB Audio?
A. Yes, um, well, it supports Android USB Audio about as "well" as other portable USB DACs, which is to say much depends on the particular phone you're using
There is a "USB CHG" switch on the Q1 to enable / disable charging through the USB connection. Disabling USB charging can enhance smartphone compatibility and also decrease battery drain on the phone. Still, it's not a guaranteed thing.
If your phone doesn't play music through the Q1 with stock Android apps, there's still a good chance that it will play using the excellent HibyMusic app, which pipes audio directly to the USB port regardless of whether the "smart" phone thinks a USB DAC is connected
Please note that you will have to supply your own micro-micro USB OTG cable for the digital connection. (unlike e.g. the E18 which is supplied with one)
2. Does the Q1 support Apple?
A. A genuine Apple Camera Connection Kit (CCK) cable converts from a Lightning port to a standard USB port, complete with USB Audio. You may connect the Q1 to the CCK via a standard USB cable
3. What "Lightning" port?
A. What, you were talking about Macbooks / desktops? The Q1 is plug and play with Apple computers, just like PCs
