Q5 developing progress update:
1. The appearance parts have already been confirmed and settled. All the functions are also completed.
USB decoding supports up to 384kHz/32 bit. DSD is also supported.
For input, it supports Line input, Coaxial input, Optical input, Bluetooth input, iPhone digital input, PC USB digital input. And each input mode can be displayed by different colors of the LED indicator.
2. The Q5 is planned to come standard with the AM3A headphone amplifier module.
The AM3A module has the same interface of the AM3: 3.5mm headphone output, 2.5mm Balanced output. The difference is that the AM3A has lower output power and a more compact circuit design.
3. The tone tuning is still in comparison phase.
The tone tuning of Q5 has not yet been determined and we're still collecting the requirements of consumers. There will be several sample units with different tuning, and we will make selection in mid April. In addition, the tone of Q5 can be changed by adjusting the digital filter through an app on the phone, which needs to be connected to the Q5 via Bluetooth.
4. Some more complex performance indexes are still under testing, such as Bluetooth stability and Anti-interference performance.
