My unit arrived today and i am very satisfied so far. The Q5 ist beautifully designed and crafted, well worth the asking price! It works flawlessly so far. I using it with the Fiio K5 dock and Windows 10, playing redbook flac in MediaMonkey. I also tried my Galaxy S7 with Neutron Music Player, both Bluetooth and USB OTG. Not every cable worked for the latter, one that is OTG enabled on both ends does the trick here. Galaxy S7 -> Bluetooth -> Q5 sitting in K5 is no problem also. The sound is very enjyoable with my Focal Clears both with or without the K5, but it is too early for comparisons or conclusions.
One thing i noticed though is that the Q5 auto powers off after a few minutes when no music is played even when it is in the dock. Is there a possibility to disable auto power off?

You can change this setting (up to 30mins or 0 to disable auto poweroff) from the iOS app.

So I will be waiting for the android app. Or maybe could ask a colleague with an i-device to help me

I strongly suggest you ask someone to help you fast. The default shut down time was driving me crazy when having the Q5 docked in the K5 during late night HTPC browsing and suddenly the youtube vids were blasting through my surround system instead of my head phones. It was not at all appreciated by my neighbors...

Dear friend,

When the Q5 is not in working condition (when not connecting to any input device or with no signal input), and after a set amount of time (10 minutes by default), it will power off. You can change the timer through app after connecting the Q5 to the phone via Bluetooth.

You could set the idle power off to 0 for disable the idle power off.

Note that when the Q5 is in connected to other devices via Bluetooth, it will always stay in working condition each if there's no music playing, as it will also receive other system audio signals (such as the notification tone) from the phone/player.

Best regards

Thank you for the answer, but I do not have an iPhone and there ist no app for Android or Windows available yet. However, a friend of mine walked in for a beer and I managed to set the timeout to the desired value with his iPhone, so everything is fine now.
Btw.: As mentioned earlier there seems to be an Android version of the Fiio Music app in development. Do you know when it might be available?

Dear friend,

The Android version may be released in the middle of this year.

Meanwhile would it be possible to have a small windows app to change these settings?

The Fiio Control Panel app which is being installed with the driver would be a great place for that!

Dear friend,

Currently, may not add that in the FiiO Control Panel.

The media control buttons (play/pause etc.) are not working, when the Q5 is connected to my Galaxy S7 via USB. When I use Bluetooth, everything is fine. Can anybody confirm that issue, or is it my only my Q5/phone/cable?
