Unknown condition at £150 looks like a strong deal against the recent UK used market: it sits well below the £272 25th percentile and far under the £306 median, so there’s solid value here if it powers up cleanly and isn’t missing anything important. For a small FiiO DAC/amp, that makes it a very buyable price rather than a cautious maybe.
These Q1 units are popular for an easy desktop or portable upgrade because they give a cleaner, more capable headphone output than most laptop or phone jacks, with enough versatility to suit casual listening and a second-system role. The main things to confirm are simple: charge/USB operation, both inputs if applicable, the gain switch and volume pot, and whether the right cable(s) or box are included, since at this price the package should ideally be ready to use.

Fiio, founded in 2007 in Guangzhou, China, emerged as a specialist in portable audio gear, initially crafting components like speakers for brands such as Meizu before launching its own lineup. The name blends "Fi" from hi-fi fidelity with "iO" symbolizing digital one's and zeros, evoking authentic sound and modern convenience, while its Chinese rendering "飞傲" conveys innovative vitality. From modest beginnings, the company expanded into a 15,000-square-meter industrial complex by 2022, solidifying its role as a prolific developer of music-centric electronics.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of portable and desktop audio categories, with flagship strengths in high-resolution digital audio players (DAPs), USB DACs, portable headphone amplifiers, and in-ear monitors. Its portfolio also encompasses cables, desktop amps, and select speakers, prioritizing versatile, high-performance solutions for on-the-go and home listening without venturing into turntables or large-scale hi-fi systems.
Fiio occupies a commanding mid-tier position in the global audiophile market, renowned for delivering premium sound quality at accessible prices that punch above their weight. Praised by enthusiasts for reliability and value, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking refined portable setups over luxury excess, backed by worldwide distribution and a track record of user-acclaimed innovations.
