Great product at a good price

At first I couldn't get the optical input from the TV to work (all other inputs worked fine). Support written, very quickly returned the solution. As a note to other users, make sure your TV is set to PCM and not Dolby or DTS. The headphone output is excellent. Please note that the analog RCA outputs are disabled when headphones are connected. It's really convenient.

Pros
  • Home Audio
Cons
  • Something different

It was advertised as having connection cables, only came optical

I could only use it with Bluetooth, it didn't come with a USB cable which I mostly used to connect to my computer, Bluetooth connects well to my iPhone , but won't pair with my laptop because the laptop requires a PIN code from the headphone amp. Hopefully it will work with computers when I get the USB cable :(

Pros
  • Home Theater
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Exceeded my expectations

I did not expect such a level of quality. The sound is well balanced. It has solid construction and a premium feel. The LED display is nice and bright, it shows all the necessary information. I like my Q6.

Pros
  • Receiver and amplifier
Cons
  • There are cons

High quality DAC combo and headphone amp

High quality headphone amp/DAC combo with Bluetooth. I like the large display, but it's very bright and there's no brightness adjustment. The amp is probably loud enough to drive even low-efficiency headphones. Very clean, detailed and straight sound. This is the second Fosi device I've bought and I love both.

Pros
  • Amplifier
Cons
  • Miscellaneous
