From what I have heard from Fiio it will be somewhere in 2017 and the price will be around $250
I expected it to be a lot more expensive, so that's good news :)

 
WOW!

If it sounds good and even cost around $300, it will be a giant killer. Good move Fiio!

Will it support plug n play for windows? (24/96, usb audio 1.0 I mean)

 
USB audio class 1 is convenient, but limit the DAC capability. If Q5 can have 2 USB ports, one port for class 1, and another one for class 2, that would be nice. Like the implementation of USB on Mytek 192-DSD.

Q5 has two USB interfaces, one of which is used for mobile devices, such as iPhone. Another for computers, etc.

My case is pretty specific: the Lumia 950XL. It essentially acts like a Windows PC but without the ability to install driver, only have USB audio out 1.0 24/96. My guess is that the mobile devices interface of the Q5 will not support USB audio 1.0?

Ranting: Technically if Microsoft EVER decided to support USB audio out 2.0 for Windows the mobile should also have it. But it's Microsoft so.......
