    [FiiO Q5s Type C ‖ Q5s] Bluetooth DSD-capable Amplifier,AK4493x2,768k/32bit

    Congrats! As a long time fan of Fiio products, I'm anxious to get my hands on the Q5S as well as the upcoming K5Pro !! I've been using the trusted E17/E09 combination (https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/ad...5-5-inch-100-watts.14968/reviews#review-13461) as well as a 1st gen X5 and Mont Blanc -...

    JH Audio vs 64Audio - Advice for CIEM Newbie

    Triple FI 10s are showing their age - want to move up to CIEMs (first ever!)   Been doing a lot of homework, reading a bunch of forums and tried all of UEs, 64Audio ADELs, Vision Ears and FitEars - the UE11 and 64Audio ADEL a6/a8 coming closest to what I like.  Problem is, I live in Germany...

    currently the best pc speakers?

    Price does depend - I wanted something "Special" and decided on studio quality near-field monitors - a 2.1 setup with subwoofer as well - there are many brands and prices out there - but I chose these:  ...

    Review by 'rfox' on item 'Adam Audio A5X Powered Studio Monitor (5.5 inch, 100 watts)'

    I wanted a high-end desktop 2.1 system - After much research and sound trials, I ended up combining the Fiio Alpen E17 DAC and the E09K Desktop Amp for a powerful combination together with 2 Adam A5Xs and the Sub7 bass.   The sound is amazing for near field monitors - very neutral - and the...

    Reccomendation: Replacing aging UE Triple.Fi 10s - stepping up??!!??

    I've owned the Triple Fi 10 for many years now - the best I've had to date.  Now I am ready for the "next step" and want to replace them with something acoustically better.  As source, I have the Fiio X5 and an E12 amp stack.   I've read a bunch of comparisons and reviews between the following...

    Senheiser ie800 vs shure se846

    I have owned UE Triple Fi 10s for many years now - which I really enjoyed until now - also I own a Fiio X5 and E12 amp - Now I want to find the "next step up" from my Triple Fi's.  After reading a bunch of reviews, comparison and articles - I'm torn between the IE800s, se846 or the AKG k3003 -...

    Reference table for album art, tagging and lyrics support on the X3 and X5

        Bummer - half of my collection is OGG files with embedded artwork!!  My Cowon S9 supports it, but my shiny new X5 doesn't. Here's hoping for a future firmware update which addresses this shortcoming!   Cheers, R.Fox

    FiiO X7 | DXD | DSD | 384K/64B | ESS9018+ Android | WiFi | Bluetooth | 4 AMP modules | Balanced Out |

    I agree with   I agree here - just got my new X5+E12 combination - very nice, but bulky as heck!  I would also like to see a separate treble and bass adjustment (like on the E17) - which is sorely missing on the X5 - that's why I got the E12 (for the bass boost!)   Keep the dual MicroSD...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

      What you are describing here is what I was noticing as well when I first got my X5 last week - call it "thump" or I like to call it "punch" - but a clean "boom" was missing with just the X5 - and this was most noticeable with my IEMs.  Funny thing is, after several listening sessions with my...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

    Let me qualify this a bit more - My UE Triple.Fi 10 IEMS create some amazing bass response (expecially considering the size of them) - I know this, because I have experienced it for a few years now using my Cowon S9 together with the IEMs.  Now, using my new X5 - which does sound incredible (but...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

      I've been testing my X5 since i received it last Friday (25th of April) with a bunch of different songs 6 styles- I keep switching combinations of my Bose QC15 and UE Triple.Fi 10s - my Cowon S9 and the X5 for comparison.  The X5 definitely is failing in bass body as described above - the...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

      So in other words, none of the cases are designed to work with the stacking kit?!?  i also like the leather case - but no part number on the website.   The stacking kit is a good idea - but they should have a well designed case foi it (together with the E12) - then they can promote the...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

    I'm still debating about getting the E12 to compliment my X5 - and I'm still looking for a good quality inter Connect cable in Germany (like the ALO brand) - although I see the HS6 stacking kit has a nice quality IC cable with it -   One question though - All the pictures of thestacking kit...
