The material of Q5 is CNC aluminum，structure is complex, and the function is complete, which leads to the complexity of the system.
After accounting, The cost of the Q5's shell is already over X7. We are not going to sell it very expensive. I was in great pressure!

Thanks for the update @demond; please keep them coming. Any new info you guys can continue to provide on the Q5 is much appreciated (I can't wait for this thing to be released!).

No chance of USB-C? Micro USB ports die so fast, the port on my E18 is already starting to go after only just over a year.

A few friends from this thread have challenged my views over life and such, especially when it comes to Bluetooth.

Today, I tried the first high end bluetooth device and I must say, everyone here was right! Bluetooth can sound AWESOME! I have a Sennheiser Momentum in Ear Wireless and they sound so freaking awesome!!

I am even more curious to see how Q5 will sound and now I am really enthused about the tech FiiO will put in it! Great job, everyone!

YES! Bluetooth music will be popular in the future , the smart-phone will gradually cancel the 3.5mm interface. FiiO USB decoder products are also for this consideration.

Well then, I have never really used a phone's 3.5mm output, my most used device has been FiiO X5ii in the past as it is an awesome device! But connecting a DAC/AMP to phone via BT is an awesome idea as well!

So, the idea is to connect to your phone or source via BT, not connect your DAC to headphones via BT? Or both? This is confusing....

Q5 is a DAC / AMP, the idea would had been to connect it to a smartphone via BT and the headphone via 3.5mm to Q5 if I'm not mistaken.

You can connect a BT headphone / IEM to Q5 directly as well I think, and this would be a good step if you want to take advantage of APT-X if your phone doesn't allow for it (?)

Lot of potential with this Q5!!

I'd like Q5 with AM5 module. Will it work well with Fostex TH-610?

I have the feeling that Q5 + AM03 would work greatly as well as Q5 + AM02, TH 610 sound good with many amps and DACs, they are not that picky

Any info on release date?..

Any info on release date?..

Although there are difficulties, I think Q5 should be listed earlier than the new iPhone.Earlier than September.

Thank you for the kind support.

Bluetooth has a new progress, with the iPhone's transmission distance can reach 30 meters.
The hardware problems are basically solved, and some software bugs are waiting for verification.
In addition, I used the Lightning to Micro cable with iPhone and Q5, support IOS10.3.2 system.

That's good news, have been waiting for Q5 for Long time, btw not sure is Q5 being tested with Android phone (Samsung, LG, Xiaomi vs bluetooth & cable) as well?

As a result of a wide range of Android phones, the system changes frequently, we do not recommend users to use Q5 with Android phone, but we will collect some with the use of cases for reference, type-c and other cable will be sold separately.
