I'm an iPhone and MacBook Pro user so I'm glad that you're making Q5 compatible to Apple products.

Bluetooth headphones/earphones render an amp moot unless the amp can transmit apt x or something. A better use would be hires Bluetooth transmission via apt x from phone to amp, then use regular jack from amp to headphones. At least you wouldn't have to stack. I think the idea of having all dac/amping done through wireless headphones/earphones is not the way of the audiophile.

Q5 design, consider a wide range of use.
To meet the best sound quality, USB in, Spdif in.
To meet the best use of convenience, Bluetooth in and regular jack out to headphone.

Cool thoughts!

It might come in handy to quite a few people looking for a device that can do this!

This is great news! I recently bought the Q1, and the A5 is in the mail, but really: Q5 is what I need. The Q1 is having difficulties with Apple's broken CCK (ie. Lavricables' Lightning/USB CCK cable: http://www.lavricables.com/cables/reference-silver-lightning-to-chord-hugo-mojo-interconnect-cable/), and I really - really! - hope the Q5 behaves CCK-wise. I'm using my iPhone 6s as transport, so a fully functional CCK connection is essential to me.

Looking forward to it

Fiio, it looks like you are dropping the treble and bass adjusting features of the e7k and e17/17k, and instead using a simple bass boost switch. Is this true? If so, are you also planning this for the upcoming q3? Will you be offering any dac/amps in the future that will have treble and bass adjusting features like the e17/17k? In my opinion, this feature is what has separated your dac/amps from the competition, and has been what keeps me coming back to them.

Bass adjusting features, the Q series products will be used to achieve all the way to a simple switch, including the upcoming Q1Mark Ⅱ. I am sorry E17K to bring you the use of trouble.

Any news about FiiO Q5?

 

[IneffableMusic]

I am wondering on any news as well. Any updates on changes or ideas/confirmartions. I'm wondering if you will add an es9028. It seems like it's easier to implememt the the 9028 without getting sabre glare as well as perhaps just noticeably better perhaps especially in tonality. I find my LG V10 a little shouty on the upper mids at times. Not sure if that's the 9018 or just choice in tonality.

Today I used the latest Q5 engineering machine, the specific situation I will continue to share here.

It looks great!

@demond : It looks promising. It worths waiting.

That is looking nice, Demond!

Quite enthused about FiiO's progress with Q5!

Love the black brushed metal with the different-colour lightbeam based on what the function is. The purple beam with the black is so pretty! Lol. I also like the subtle red accents fiio has been adding lately. They've been doing a great job lately in the design of their products lately imo. They've made products look their own while still being mature, stylish and well-made.
