I have an Atom Amp and a couple of headphones( he400i + bayerdynamics custom studio) plus my studio monitors. all this was driven by the fiio k3
i wanted to buy the Fiio Q5s for 2 things.... 1. as my portable dac/amp as it can power both my headphones easily & 2. as my desktop solution to plug into the atom through the line out.
my question:
1. the specs say line out at 1.8vrms. is this enough to send enough signal for the atom amp? considering i will have a lot of headroom on the atom.
2. is it better to send the audio signal to the q5s through coax/optical or USB?
3. is the lineout on the q5s a line out or a pre out?
thanks in advance.
