I just received my Q5 with AM3A about 2 hours ago. After an hour or so A/B between D14, iFi DSD Micro BL and W8, here is my impression:
When compares it with iBasso D14(a very old dac/amp), the treble on Q5 is not as resolving as D14, not to mention iFi DSD and W8. To me, the resolution on Q5 is like a class less than D14. The mids and sub-bass sounds a bit elevated while treble is recessed, not as airy as D14. The bass is great, not boomy. The sound stage is narrower than D14, like intimate.
The optical Spdif is supposed to bring a clean sound, instead, it sounds a bit "rough". I am surprised and very disappointed with it.
There is a little bit of hiss when using Andromeda. I guess if you use other less sensitive IEMs, you will not hear the hiss. On the other hand, D14's hiss is almost unbearable. I did not try other headphones due to the short time.
Q5 does not get warm at all after an hour of playing. It is good. All input works.
If you plan to purchase your first multi-function Dac/Amp, Q5 will not disappoint you. It provides many input options, more than you would need. If you have other comparable or high end Dac/amp, you can skip it. It will not bring any "WOW" moment to you at least to me. I know this is not a fair comparison because it is much smaller than rest of my Dac/Amps, even D14 is thicker than Q5. That said, it is portable and good for stacking. I did not compare it with Mojo and I don't think I will ever want to, there is no reason to compare them.
This is my first impression and it is biased. Your mileage may vary. Do not beat me up, I am just providing my first and honest impression.
