maybe upgrade to bluetooth V5??

I've read bluetooth 5 brings no sonic improvements supposed to be more about power savings and wearable tech, though I could be wrong.

From what i read, it will allow for further distance or a wider throughput... Supposedly able to choose... Not saying this option will be available for the q5's though... Wider throughput "can" allow for better audio

Wow, didn't know iPods can do DSD. (transport native to external DAC that is)
Waiting for your video review @Hawaiibadboy I saw in your latest video it will be a 4 devices comparison?

I use hiby player (free) and use their built in wifi transfer mode to move the DSD to ipod and it works. I am very happy

It has a hardware bassboost (Q5) God..I so much wanted a HW bassboost on dual dacs and some good power stage and Q5 is delivering.

First, it is quite funny you needed bass boost with the Cascade... those are bass cannons... Just sayin'
Second, isn't the EQ / Mage8 on R6 give you a similar effect to the bass boost!?

Nope, he is taking abt hardware bass boost. Different due to digital signal manipulation Vs analogue

yes. THD is lower than with software based DSP particularly bass where high THD % exist already (usually)

Got it. Thanks
Having too many DAPs (FiiO X5III, HiBy R6 to name a few) - I am trying to decide if it makes sense FOR ME to get a Q5...

If they made a case for this and an ipod touch I'd be a happy guy and looking for a gold/copper custom lightning to micro B about 8cm in length

I enjoyed the bass boost with the ex1000, made it really nice
