The Greek distributor of Fiio's products updated their site today to include the Q5s. I was happy to realize that it is cheaper than the Q5, even if by a tiny bit (420€ compared to 430 or 440€ that the Q5 used to cost). I half expected it to cost 500€ here.

Now, as tantalizing as getting it for 300€ on AliExpress sounds, I'm getting it locally. Not only is the guy that owns the Fiio store a pretty cool guy, but he offers great support (on top of Fiio's support) and has a lot of other things from Fiio, including all their interconnects and whatnot, so I'm not gonna get only the Q5s. Not only that, but if I get it for 300 and then get hit by customs, it will actually get more expensive than getting it locally, so meh, it's probably not worth the risk anyway, financially speaking.

@FiiO I have a question + for those who own the Fiio Q5s if I'm using it with my laptop “MacBook Pro” through USB will it charge and play at the same time through the same (and only) USB port or not?

maybe it's up to the frequency and duration of use. i'm a casual user of my Q5 (maybe an hour a day, 2 sessions) and i could get it to last up to a week on a single charge.
That is good to know. However my travels last for 10-12 hrs so I need to know if I have to lug another power bank in the airport.
