I was able to resolve the issue of DSD light not coming On while playing DSD Files on the Q5. By default the Hiby App has DoP Offf in the Advanced Settings. Turning this On solved the problem.

Update fw to 0.52, and / or connect power source to Q5 for DSD.

Q5 continues to surprise. Just took a 5 hour flight on Virgin America (Now Alaska Air) and tried the line in from the IFE to the Q5. All the terrible noise from the IFE went away and I got to use the infinitely better volume wheel of the Q5. Watched Thor Ragnorak and Justice League and the sound from the Q5 was so much better than just plugging my Katanas into the IFE headphone port. Q5 is the most versatile portable high end audio device that I have ever used!

Has anyone studied about what DAC filters in Q5 affect sound signature?
I currently use Q5 as my desktop DAC hooked to MCTH (probably until D50 arrives). Honestly, I have been quite satisfied on this setup, which sounds better than my previous Mojo.

If listening to DSD made an audible difference, would it matter if the light was on? I mean, wouldn't you be able to tell you are listening to a DSD file just by listening to it? Just curious.

Still can’t get this darned DSD light on, checked all settings in UAPP, updated firmware and it still won’t budge....maybe an android issue will try with my Sony ZX-300 when my cable arrives later today!
