It would help if we knew your source and how you were connecting to the Q5.

Is your source capable of sending DSD (ie over DoP)?

If you're trying to play via Bluetooth - it won't work - has to be a wired connection.

So, im asking one more time , why when i play dsd files , red light doesn't turn on , on the Q5?! What im do wrong?

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?

And what cable do i need!?.

If your phone is capable, you need to run via USB out from the phone to USB in to the Q5. I’m assuming the player app has the ability to send DSD over DoP.

I’m honestly not sure why you are so hung up on playing it natively though. It really is unlikely to make any audible difference to what you’re hearing over COAX (is in PCM format). Most DSD releases were mastered in PCM anyway. Very few recordings are direct to DSD

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

_Please_ put release dates on the firmware versions on the website given how difficult it is to find what currently installed version is.

I received ifi Pro iDSD ($2500) today, and did briefly A/Bed using the utopia and the ethers. Surprisingly, the Q5 is close. Not far behind at all.

That is encouraging for Q5.
Did you mean using Q5 as DAC only.

I had read somewhere that fiio are concentrating more on the m stuff rather than the high end stuff. I hope not as that is very sad

Looks like they're still available on Taobao. I might try getting one from there.
