So anybody receive their AM3d yet? Would love to hear a review...

Ordered today, will post soon. I’ve seen 1 review so far on the AM3D thread

Mine is arriving tomorrow so should have some thoughts to share. I have already received my FiiO BL-44 adapter so I can try my two 2.5mm balanced headphones via the 4.4mm circuit. Looking forward to it.

Mine is arriving today or tomorrow.

I thought the 2.5mm and the 4.4mm is on the same circuit?
Unless I'm missing something there is only a 4.4mm balanced and SE 3.5mm. I might be mistaken.

Does the Q5s support MQA?

Does Q5S drain power form source device? Has it been corrected?

Good question. I thought that I read it had been corrected, but I might be remembering wrong.

So what's the difference between the Q5 and Q5S? I can get a Q5 for a decent price and am debating getting that, but not sure what I'd be missing.

1.DAC
2.Bluetooth Codec.

These two are the main difference.

Don't care about bluetooth. Is the DAC that much better? And if so, what's better about it?

"The Q5’s power circuit has been designed with seven low-dropout regulators – one each for the DAC, Line-Out, Volume Control, Low Pass Filter, Amplifier, XMOS USB and Bluetooth. The idea behind the use of LDO’s is that by isolating each component’s power supply, FiiO can deliver both cleaner power, and also better audio."

Power supply had been upgraded too it looks!

Anyone know what the output impedance of the 3.5mm SE output is supposed to be on the AM3E module?

Looks it does not back-charge
