Please update your opinion with the new pads...so, basically the best upgrade is the copper cable and this pads...I wonder how much will they make the difference with the SQ

Please posts your progress here as I am also interested to do the same if the whole process is not very difficult...certified noobs in soldering...

U need to pair first with either your smartphone or audio source through Bluetooth. Once your Q5 is added into the trusted devices of your audio source, it will be connected automatically once u activate the Bluetooth connection at Q5s by keep pressing for several seconds the middle button on...

My US10 box case.. Possibly a knock-off ath official case but very solid build with adequate protection

I don't think that Q5s internal charging structure support the fast charging feature. But any charger even with the fast charging features will work ok with Q5s and to be safe, make sure it does not exceed the recommended specifications of 2A.

Based on my noobs listening experience, the SQ for A7 will keep getting better after hours of burn in time..

U have to select the input audio either through the USB input button on the left side or BT connection on the right side and make sure the USB cable is appropriately connected in line with the arrow indicators if u r using the USB connection. The charging option to On or OFF should normally be...

Will u be using the bundled bag that come in the retails box or planning to get the third party one

wow..that is one nice collection....

Strong yes for me..as Im using it as transport for Fiio Q5 TC..both direct and BT connections are working great

U can always reduce the default volume at sp200 if u r pair it with M200 dac by tweaking down the volume at M200 (negative value).

Needs an expert advise... I just bought the xduoo mt-602 tube amp with pre amp output and is it possible to use it as a pre amp from my M200 and then connected to Sp200. Needs to be pretty sure about it to avoid any damage to the amp. TQ

I was lol so hard...

Mine is working great too...so ..far..connected to Fiio Q5s TC...

Wow.. TQ.. Does it requires any wire cutting and soldering or it is just as simple as attaching the connector.

I haven't I haven't seen anyone tried to DIY for the battery replacement but I have replaced the battery for a very early version of Fiio Alpen model.. Which is currently collecting dust.. Lol

Really appreciate for the details instruction.. Do I need to get sheepskin leather pad or any other leather materials will also be recommended. First time opening the hp....

Finally.. Sand down the connector and it works great... For both of my wp900 and msr7b

Sigh.. I just wasted money for buying 3 balanced cables with a2dc that could not fit into a2dc inputs.. Anyone can attach a link here for third party cable that is compatible with the hp without any modification.

Ezy... Several LZ Audio markings at cables

Have u tried connected with the bundled cable that comes with the hp

I have been asking the same question too.. It is either the power from USB will be charging directly the unit or the battery when the battery is fully charged up, but I do believe that it is the later which might deteriorate the battery capacity in the long run.

Getting bored during the lockdown.. How hard it is to do the mod and will it be worth the effort

Mine from Nicehck audio shop too but so far had no issue even with the new balance cable connected to my Fiio Q5s TC

Ouch.. After reading more than 100 pages in this thread, I am pretty convince that I need to order this hp soon... But would really appreciate if anyone here can tell me if it can be a good addition to my existing Ath-wp900 and msr7b. TQ
