Just saw an update for the H7 that now support APTX/APTXHD will this come to the H5 and if so would you see other codecs being added APTX Adapative?

At this time we are not sure if or when aptX support can be added to H5, as it's running different Ingenic platform than H7.

So far we have no device with aptX Adaptive support.

Hello, Respected Owners and Experience Members of H5 or similar products:

Here is my query -

(1)Is it recommended / Good Idea to put a Blank Micro SD Card to mSD port at the back to prevent entering any Dust or Lint ?

(2) As I'm not regularly use the Card Play function, I insert a Blank 2GB Fat32 formatted mSD card, My main concern is whether it impacts battery life ?

Please Reply.....Thanks in advance.

Having card inserted or not makes no impact on battery life if you are using it in the other modes.

I just received mine - As I come from Fiio Q5S which is now Aged quite a bit (Age = Battery Bulged and the 3.5 SE inch port of Fiio AM3E went to R.I.P. years ago.)

Initial Less than 24 Hours Impression comparing Fiio Q5S:-

- No heat comparing Fiio Q5S, Despite anything Fiio Q5S heats up quite a lot if the Ambient Temp over 28'C despite load in Bal / SE mode - No matter if it is IEM or HP.
- GAIN control is real in this H5 rather than Fiio Q5S.
- Unique feature of Single / Dual DAC usage of this manufacturer - Maybe this is the cause Fiio Q5S always stays all gun blazing mode.
- Thank God Separate USB port for USB DAC & Charging port - This is a complete PIA for Fiio Q5S.
- Once arrived I plugged in Hiby R2 player first gen with supplied USB-C cable and it sound absolutely amazing - Woh,
(Realized I hardly ever use Fiio Q5S in this way due to its one-port operation with BT on/off charging feature only.)
----------------------
- This is a bold statement I know and needs more and more testing on my part
USB DAC mode (Stacking stand-alone player/phone over the top, in my case old gen Hiby R2 ) sounds far far superior comparing the inbuilt card play.

Interesting in that my q5s tc had the SE port dead too years ago , i am curious if you consider the h5 a partial sound upgrade or noticeably better , being both based on similar akm architecture/chips..

Many thanks

I connect the h5 via USB The initial sound is muted for a few seconds, when will there be a firmware to fix this?

- About the SE port I think there may be a design flaw which resulted dead SE port regardless of the AMP module for many units.
- I was never able to source a stand-alone TC Amp module for my existing Q5s and always stick to the Default AM3E module, From the memory I like to say it's a H5 is Feature and Partial Sound Upgrade...Once battery deformation started in Q5s I had no courage to power on the device anymore so a direct comparison was not possible.

Bought the H5 and have been enjoying it. Only problem I have so far is that when I connect through Bluetooth the first time it connected AAC but now every time I go back to Bluetooth it goes to SBC. If I forget the device and reconnect then it will go to AAC again only for that first connection. Is there anyway to set it to connect to AAC every time?

Please what device are you connecting to the H5?
