I have a Pixel 2 and bought a Fiio K1 in hopes of getting better audio than the included dongle thingy, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I plugged in my fiio e10k which I use for my desktop and it worked perfectly fine, and the K1 worked fine with my PC as well, but for some reason my phone just doesn't work with this other fiio amp. Do I need to root it or something to get it to work? I just got the K1 today so I might just return it and buy something else if anyone knows another portable amp/dac that works tbh

I'd recommend returning the K1. Did some quick googling and it seems like several people are having problems with it on mobile devices. The Fiio Q1 Mk II would be what I'd go for, but it's a little more expensive and idk if you wanna spend that much.

I don't think I want to carry around something that big in my pocket lmfao, I think I'm just gonna say fuck it and use the included cable thing cause it honestly doesn't sound that bad it's just not that loud so if I'm in a crowded subway or something it's a big annoying but not a big deal.
