FiiO Q5, Flagship DAC/Amp, an Dual DAC, USB/Optical/Coaxial/Line in, share the same amp module with X7.

Amp module = ampule
this translates as a very bad thing in Romanian. It means " I have dics". Without any jokes.
A very amuzing coincidence.

everything look great, except the front with the huge indicators imo.
I agree! Also, no image of the USB port? Will the DAC module have separate power? We don't want this thing draining our phones over OTG.

How would it be possible to put an EQ in it, if it just decodes the data stream, and does not process it?
And I do think that the chances are that your software EQ will be better than hardware, because hardware EQ tends to degrade the signal more than software. Well, in theory it is possible to have software EQ that is fully lossless, while the funaments of circuits and electricity dictate that a circuit degerades a signal more, and will affect it's fidelity.
I know that in practice there are hardware EQ that sounds better than particular software, but just saying, using the software EQ you have is going to have the possibility of creating better results.

I loved the EQ on E17, and I like the EQ on my E5. but the E5 has a software EQ not hardware. I would love to have a DAC/AMP that lets you EQ all inputs' signals,specificly the line-in.
Bass Boost aint nothing but a hardware EQ, why not put a 10 steps EQ in this thing, like the E17 ?

Agreed. I would certainly like an internal parametric equalizer.

Nice! What's up with the rectangular bulge with 5 lines and LEDs on it?

Model B for my eyes. Looks cleaner and more professional.
