Are you saying HTC M10 not great as a source? Will upgrade to Samsung S10 when it's available...
Just the Bluetooth part has problems, since update to Android 8.0. For specifics you can look back into this thread I posted a lot of issues with the HTC 10 and Bluetooth.

OK thanks, I tried looking into what was behind the 3.5 Audio jack on the M10, on pdadb.net but was unable to see anything. Not too much there on Bluetooth either. I got my BGVP DM6s yesterday, plugged them into my HTC M10 and was impressed with the sound improvement. Then I plugged them into my MacBook Pro and they went to a whole different level!! The M10 sound output isn't the greatest. Hope to be looking into a Q5 type DAC/AMP some time after the S10 gets released.

Thanks again

Hi everyone, want to ask about this Q5.
I have problem with this Q5 when used cable connection. Problem is when use this Q5 with pocophone f1 running miui 10 android pie. When i used otg type c and usb a to micro usb, when use with UAPP, when i choose allow usb, only distort sound come out. But when not choose allow usb, it's normal but dsd logo is off. That not happening when use v20 running on Android oreo. So then o buy fiio cl06 cable. Using pocophone when sound is normal but every few minutes, it's disconnect and reconnect again, and it's repeatedly, so i cannot used it. It's anyone already try it with pocophone or anything that running on miui 10 android pie?

Hello, i just buy , Thriller album from HDTracks in DSD , but my buton on the Q5 is stil dead. My source is an smartphone.What do i do wrong here?
Your player has to output native DSD. Try USB Audio Player Pro > Settings > USB Audio > DSD mode > Native DSD.

It took me a while but I've managed to update the firmware and Bluetooth. Anybody know what these updates do?
Instruction of Upgrading the Q5 System Firmware:https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/65276.html
How to check the firmware version on the Q5: https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/158038.html

Main changes in v0.52:

1. Fixed the issue where the "Sharp Roll-Off Filter" and the "Short delay Sharp Roll-Off Filter" settings were reversed;
2. Fixed the issue where the device would not charge when the Side USB port was set as data port.


Best regards

Apart from the xDSD is there any similarly placed product with a balanced output?

So would you all consider the m6 a great transport for the q5?

Hey guys,
when using Q5 as a USB DAC on PC, is there any noticeable audio delay while watching videos or playing games?

Does anyone know if FiiO sells the lightning to micro USB cable on its own?
Dear friend,

We don't sell that cable for the Q1MKII/Q5. But if you need one, you may contact wang@ddhifi.com for help.

Best regards

Thanks for the recommendation! I just checked their AliExpress store, but shipping cost (CAD ~$35) more than the cable (CAD ~$21). I'll send them an email and see if they can ship it with something other than DHL.
