Another thing that I'm noticing is that when this device is connected and powered on for a long period of time. IE when on my desk during work hours. The sound quality starts to degrade and a simple power off then back on fixes it.

I'm using iOS. It could connect and play music, but when I press "Fiio BT Control", the Q5s was listed there, but as "disconnected" and when I pressed the icon I could not get to any of the settings.
Oh someone saw my post! I feel like I have been talking to myself for the most part on this thread as FiiO doesn't seem to respond to any of my concerns about this product.

When I'm listening in this situation, My Q5s is connected direct to my desktop computer via USB and I'm either listening to Tidal or Amazon Music. I have to take phone calls throughout the day so I will pause my music and leave the device on, sometimes it can go a couple of hours before I go back to listen. When this happens I find the audio very harsh and glaring but once I power it off and power it back on again all is fixed.
I should say that i have hiss on Q5S with FH7. I'm still using am3e though. Is it normal? Its ok when i'm listening to normal music, but i bough it for classics and it irritates a lot. Also using LC-4.4D.
Will AM3D help me here?

Tidal is played by browser or application? If application do you have Tidal setting as exclusive? If you use Q5s as Windows default device do you have volume in windows the same level all the time? Best is max. Also it depends on windows sound device advanced settings - to which sample rate it is resampled.
High quality PC audio is not simple plug and play. I dont think problem is in Q5s, probably somewhere in changed conditions or setting in Windows. By switching off/on you may also reset something in Windows.
If connection would be BT then I can imagine switching between BT codec.
I will watch it in the future. Until now I never noticed degradation in time but very often different perception in my head, mostly when I am tired.

It will connect and say its charging from the phone and also trigger UAPP prompt but it won't play music through the q5s... Anybody have any recommendations for otg cables that will work? Also maybe one that won't drain my phone battery...

So I was able to get that cable to work, but it's a bit weird. I had to plug it into my phone first then turn on the q5s and then plug it in... But it's working now. Still need to figure out the battery charging problem. Are there any workarounds?

This topic has been discussed many times now. Please search through this thread if you want to learn more about turning off usb charging while connecting to your phone using the otg cable you've bought from Amazon.
The option to turn off usb charging is via the Bluetooth Control option provided within the Fiio Music app. Make sure to get to the Bluetooth Control option from the Fiio music app to connect to the Q5s via bluetooth first and then turn off usb charging before connecting your phone to the Q5s via bluetooth. I am sure Fiio will eventually put up this instruction in their Q5s FAQs on their website. Good luck.
