Transferring music to Q1
MICRO SD CARD
Q1 has no build in memory. To play music, Micro SD card is needed (purchase separately).
Micro SD card should be formatted to one of the following formats:
•FAT32
•EXFAT
•NTFS
Considering size of DSD files, we recommend to avoid using FAT32 and choose EXFAT or NTFS
instead.
INSERTING AND REMOVING CARD FROM Q1
Insert card slowly, with contacts of the card going in first and facing up, to the screen. Press
card in until you hear click. If done correctly, Q1 will show message “TF card inserted”.
To remove card, slightly push on the card to unlock it from its position and then let the inner
spring push it out.
TRANSFERRING MUSIC FILES TO THE CARD FROM COMPUTER
Fastest way to transfer bigger number of files to Micro SD card is to take card out of Q1 and use
dedicated card reader, either external reader or one build-in into computer.
Alternatively, you can connect Q1 to your computer with provided USB cable, while keeping
Micro SD card inside Q1. Card will be displayed as new external drive, to which you can easily
copy all folders with music files.
When Q1 connects to computer in file transfer mode, it will display symbol of SD card and “USB
connected” text. Tap on “Back” icon to disconnect.
Note: USB Mode must be set to “USB”.
