Ya looking forward for more details about Q5, I'm imagining stacking it with my old mobile phone as a complete solution , rather than buying an expensive DAP, because I can change the phone for faster UI in future and retain the Q5.

My Xiaomi mi max would love a q5 !

Imagine the possibilities especially with a large tablet for watching music videos!

Do you think Value of the Q5 is greater than X5-3 (as you used one) - Same DAC - Hopefully better battery life than X5.

If you already own X5-3, you probably don't need Q5 as much as people who only have a phone and want a better sound

Is the Q5 still planned for an April/May release?
Or did I read that we may not see it now until September?

Which iPhone will the Q5 (with the AM5 module attached) be closest in size to?
 
I plan on stacking the Q5 with an iPhone (or iPod) and am just wondering which one will be the best physical match?
 

1. iPhone SE / iPod touch (4 inch screen)
2. iPhone 6/7 (4.7 inch screen)
3. iPhone 6-plus/7-plus (5.5 inch screen)

This is helpful.  
 
Looks like the iPod touch (roughly the same size as the iPhone SE) will be an ideal pairing here.
 
I'm actually considering using velcro to stack the Q5 to the iPod touch.  If I keep the iPod in a thin case then the Valero won't damage the actual iPod itself.  Not sure if there will be any case options for Q5 though?
 
Does anyone have an update on the estimated release date for the Q5 (I think the last update had it pushed from April/May to September)...

The back of the Q5 is a soft leather material, like the SONY zx1. specifically with the iPhone case we will consider, but if you want to be compatible with all mobile phones, it may be a package.

Wow that would mean it has taken 2 years from the start of the thread to launch. Shame as this sounds like such a nice product. Maybe I will end up getting one down the road. Hopefully it doesn't come by default with a module designed for IEM's. Ideally it should start with at least a moderately powerful amp module, or no module and let the customer select what they want at order time so not like the initial X7 release with the bundled IEM amp module.

Will the Q5 be able to transmit via Bluetooth to wireless headphones as well?

Q5 will only support receiving audio via bluetooth, no sending.

  Dear triplew,
 
The Q5 only has the function of receiving Bluetooth signal.
 
Two-way transmission:  allows it to receive Bluetooth signal while sending Bluetooth signal.
(RM1 can be used at the same time when Bluetooth headphone or Bluetooth speaker is on.)
 
It is the function for the player. The Q5 is a DAC but not a front-end device, so we don't consider adding sending Bluetooth function in the Q5 by now. 
 
Best regards

what dac chips will be used on this, 2 akm4490 or sabre ess dacs?
 
Will these also have a line in and line out capability?
