  • For anyone with a CD collection who wants a cheap DAC recommendation, look no further than the Fosi Audio Q4.
    It's great for listening to CDs, streaming music, gaming and movies. It doesn't cost the Earth and can plug into a phone, laptop, PC, CD player, Blu Ray player or a TV with USB, coaxial and optical audio inputs.

    Basic query for you, my cd player separate has optical output. My cheap Amazon Dac has optical in and rac out. Will the sound be the same optical cd to optical speaker or should I try optical cd player to Dac and then rac from Dac to speaker ?

      Definitely worth trying both. That way you can decide if you prefer the DAC in the speaker or the external one.

    Here's an idea.
    Do a step by step demo video on hooking it up to a desktop and give the viewers something for their wasted time listening to you ramble on.

    Can you tell me if the volume and tone controls work on the audio outputs in the back, or just with the headphones?

      I know you asked this a month ago, but I actually have this. Yes, the controls on the front do work with audio outputs. I have speakers hooked up to the back and the volume and bass controls work to control those speakers!

      @@jardonic I bought one. It's a great little DAC, I like the bass and treble controls. There aren't many DAC's out there that have those. It's well worth the money. Thanks for replying.

    Hii!! I have one small dac fosi audio Q4. Is it possible to connect the Q4 on a pair of Klipsch R15M, or Jbl Stage A130 ? Just so i can get some sound that came from my headset or my screen sound columns...
    On fosi Q4 description it says 125mW 32Ω... What do you say? ( Remember i just have the fosi Q4 for now...)
    Thanks in advanced...

      You need an external amplifier to drive your speaker, or you need active speakers with an internal amplifier.
      The 125mW is the maximum power for headphones with 32Ω resistance, which is not very much btw.

      It's a DAC not an amp but you probably could. I use Samsung and it works with that. Haven't tried with an iPhone though.
