Does this connect to Sony NW ZX-300 via bluetooth or does it have to be a cabled connection?

It connects as an audio device, so, yes, you could connect via BT, only with AptX though, not AptX HD - that being said, the vanilla version sounds fantastic to these ears!

Been crazy busy all this week! But finally got a chance to sit down and give this a first listen! Very impressed/excited to see it has it's own specially designed iPHONE friendly Case!!!! While I don't own an iPhone the wife does and everything was 100% plug and play! The case fits super snugly, wasn't hard to operate and Spotify immediately output to the Q5 without any fuss! Overall fire impressions with some pop are good, no unpleasantness from the RS2E but alas tonight was my last listen with it

Next up I tested some Miles Davis with my K702, again plenty of power great sound and tons of detail! I'm loving the Hard Line out as well as all the blu-tooth options! Non the less my listening time is up and I need to head to bed. So more to come tommorow

If people mention cases, can they please link to them, too? It’s frustrating to see a cool case and have no info on where it’s from or what to even google for.

So before I even got to mess around with taking out the opamp in the AM3A, somehow died on me. I get a red blinking light and the unit shuts down. It's out of warranty.......

Anyways, the AM3 amp that I'm using right now, sounds nicer with the JVC SZ2000, vs the AM3A did using the balanced out.

Hi Fiio,

when will the Q5 be released in Japan?

Did you try charging it?

There is power. I swapped between them and the am3a fails every time.

Is the Fiio Music app not available on android? I can't seem to find it on the store. If not, is there a way to turn off the horizontal light manually on the unit?

no / no
FiiO promised an Android app will be ready this summer.

I am testing the optical output from my Mac pro. But there are some issues.
My rig is Mac pro retina 2015 (15') - toslink cable (purchased from https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T8HWV62/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) - Fiio Q5 - MCTH - ether c flow.

When I choose the digital out with 2 ch 24-bit 192kHz from Audio Midi Setup (included in MacOSX), there is no sound! The maximum rate I can choose without any issues is 2 ch 24-bit Integer 88.kHz. If I increase it one step up to 2 ch 16-bit Integer 96kHz, sound starts to crack.

It seems that Fiio Q5 does not support the rate higher up from 96kHz when I use the optical input (purple color). Is this right?

According to the specs: http://www.fiio.net/en/products/83/parameters optical input supports up to 96KHz/24bit
