And yet people were blaming FiiO when clearly the problem lay elsewhere.

No its not fiio it was samsung fault they forget to implent the asynchrous usb mode most of usb dacs use it

Just got the Q5s and it sounds great with iphone XS Max. Just a quick question: does it work as an amp for AK SP1000 using USB audio out from SP1000? I remember trying it at the personal hifi exhibition a month ago it didn't work at all. But of course it works via bluetooth streaming in AptX HD. I did a quick search here but with no luck.

@cleg Thanks bro - was eagerly waiting for this .

Hello Fiio,

Will you next firmware update include some fixes for your Bluetooth implementation? I had run into several occasions now with the stuttering of the audio via the bluetooth connections and had to do the reset operations via inserting and holding the small pin into the reset cavity to recover from the stuttering. These occurrences happened with both the audio source (dap/iphone) and the Q5s stayed next to each other.

If your team can look into this stuttering issue and provide a fix to improve the stability of your bluetooth implementation that would be wonderful and appreciated. So far, I really like your Q5s and the bluetooth 5.0 support.

Also, I have heard that your firmware update process only works with using a Microsoft Windows based computer. Unfortunately, I don't have a Windows computer and use the Mac OS based computer. Can you let me know if you will be able to make it possible to your firmware update process to work with a Mac OS computer as well? This would be a great gesture that Fiio really cares for all their customers, including those who only have a Mac OS computer.

Thank you for listening!

Dear friend,

Which Bluetooth codec were you using at that time? You were playing on line music or downloaded music files?

Best regards

Does anyone know if its safe to use the Q5s while charging it?
When connecting metel iems like TinHifi P1 I feel small electric stings..that can't be a good sign..

With full size isolating headphones I dont get the stings obviously.

But one gotta wonder if its safe.
Maybe Fiio can chime in

Dear friend,

Yes, you could charge the Q5s while using it. And if you don't like to charge the Q5s when using it as USB DAC, you could turn the charge option to off via FiiO Music APP-Bluetooth control-FiiO Q5s.

Best regards

Hello Fiio!
I asked you a question about the latest stable firmware version but you still haven’t answered.
I will ask again, what version of firmware do you have at the moment is the latest and stable?

Thank you for your response. The stuttering occurred when playing off-line music files stored on my iPhone (AAC codec via your Fiio Music app) or with off-line music files stored on my Hiby R6 Pro (LHDC codec via Hiby Music app). Turning off and turning back on the Q5s did not resolve this stuttering issue. The only thing to recover from the stuttering was to perform the hardware reset operation on the Q5s. I hope this helps and gives some clues for your team to look into where within your bluetooth implementation workflow such issue could have occurred.

Thank you once again for your great support for your product.

I’ve also had the same stuttering issue a couple of times playing music from an iPhone XS Max (iOS 12.4.1) to the Q5s over Bluetooth (using AAC) with offline tidal files. Switching both Q5s and phone off and back on seems to clear the issue (or i just use it wired) but it it annoying.

I never had the same issue with q5

Hi Fiio,

Can you confirm that Q5s is NOT compatible with Astell & Kern SP1000 to act as an amp through USB audio out from SP1000? And what about SP2000? I know Bluetooth works. Will there be an update of firmware to fix this? or is AK so snobberish not to allow any other amp to use their device?
