amazon Fiio A1 reviews
Fiio introduced a loudspeaker amplifier for the D series, also called A1, but did not know why they were out of production, although the quality was not bad at all. The new Fiio A1 is an improved headphone amplifier and upgraded from the old E6. I was not impressed with the E6 because it was completely plastic, fingerprint and clamber, lightweight, sound quality, I saw it only do 2 things to do is headphone sound louder and more bass, the sound field is narrow, hearing is not comfortable. The new A1 is much more handsome, holding on to the hands have seen, have seen the quality of aluminum shell carefully, thick, sure. The volume controls are also more intuitive, sharper, separate from each other and upwardly accessible, easier to press than two-button insertion in one place and then running along the side like the E6. In this introduction I used my player Fiio X1 (also borrowed because there is no combo portable or any music player), A1 and quad band with Oppo PM3 and Radius headset TWF31. E6 has 4 default EQ settings, 4 default EQ, 4 default is shown by lights.
- Blinking Continuously: Flat EQ (excellent, mid-bass harmonized bass, warmer overall, warmth, significant dynamic range, amplitude of listening space in depth and width of praise)
- Blink 1 play every 2 seconds: Bass 1 (bass is clicked up a bit, low-mid track is boosted)
- Flashes 2 plays every 2 seconds: Bass 2 (Highest bass, low mid-high, upper bass in highs, pulsing backward, faintly hard to hear)
- Blink 3 plays every 2 seconds: Bass 3 (this EQ I see as it’s a bit less gain, less bass than Flat EQ, produces a harmonious, gentle, emotional)
Next, according to the company, A1 has a capacity smaller than E6 (78mW <160mW at 16 ohms load) but it is okay because I do not hear loud, Oppo PM3 to about 60% volume and TWF31 to about 50% At this power, the in-ear and portable headphones are well balanced, sacrificing a little power, but the SNR ratio is higher (100dB> 95dB) and importantly the battery Longer-term use (13h> 10h). TWF31 did not suffer from sib when vocalist was up, heard Miranda Lambert singing Platinum or Norah Jones singing I’ve got to see you again without feeling “burning”, it pulls Oppo PM3 is very powerful, bass is slightly shallow in Somethin ‘Bad but the very strong kicking drum is strong, clear, treble has a better explosion, more widespread, if you plug PM3 into X1 but the volume is very prone to jarring, hard to hear because The bigger the clutter, the more cluttered it becomes. I see the Fiio A1 has a quiet background, no shudder, no noise at all, indicating the circuit is designed and processed well.
The Fiio A1 is a great choice for its form and sound quality and is great for beginners as it is quite affordable. Actually, you do not need a player that outputs line-out. Fiio makes the A1 to push the capacity of smartphones with a weak headphone output (like the Sony ones) and improve the laptop or tablet so you keep plugging comfortably, of course, you should It should sound lossless or at least 320kbps mp3 to get the best sound quality.
