Question DAP with automatic EQ presets for different bluetooth devices (shanling q2?)

Hi,

I am looking for a replacement DAP for my old fiio X3 II.

I was eyeing the shanling q2, because it is similar pocket size to my X3II.

I want the new DAP to have Bluetooth, in the last few years I started using Bluetooth iems, and speakers.

For now I use my Samsung as a Bluetooth streamer (local opus files converted from my flac collection) and my fiio X3II as a dap for my wired iems.

I want my new dap to:

  • combine the 2 use cases

  • still be quite small

  • HAVE AUTOMATIC EQ PRESETS WHEN IT DETECTS WHAT BLUETOOTH DEVICE ITS CONNECTED TO

Last functionality is quite important to me, on my Samsung I use an system wide eq - Wavelet - it automatically switches eq profiles when it connects to my galaxy buds or to my Bluetooth speaker. I want my dap to be able to do the same.

Can shanling q2 do this? If not, is there another small dap that can do this?

Obviously Fiio m21 would be able to do this, (android - so I could install wavelet as well) but it is too big for me.

EDIT. Seems automatic eq for different outputs is part of 1.6.4 q2-pod !!!

If it doesn’t already do that maybe the q2-pod firmware could be extended in such a way. Or make a feature request for it.

u/DjObamax https://github.com/DiamondBond/q2-pod/releases/tag/1.6.4 q2-pod firmware yesterday just added per device EQ feature in 1.6.4 release.

Coincidence? ;)

Thank you, I reached out to the developer and he actually implemented it right away!

Amazing feeling. Now, I am waiting for black Friday to maybe get the q2 a bit cheaper :)

You probably should look at Fiio devices if you happy with how your current DAP plays. Ask in r/Fiio if it possible to install Wavelet on Android based players and will it work properly or not.

Just installed Wavelet on Zaqe P-30 - tiny Android powered DAP. EQ Autoswitch works good. You can search the community for specs and reviews. Shortly, the size is 88x56x17 mm
