Anybody get 96 kHz working on optical? For me I get nothing - no sound, but the rate indicator shows yellow.

Dear friend,

Please check whether the volume is too low? Or check via other 96kHz file? I checked again just now and 96kHz work in optical input for Q5s fine.

Best regards

Firmware V0.39 appears to have broken the ability to turn the battery charge OFF in Bluetooth settings. The software switch is in the off position, but as soon as I connect the Q5s by otg micro B cable, or to my desktop the Q5s will draw a charge from either my phone or desktop. Yes I have tried the previous hack steps. @FiiO Is it possible to downgrade back to 0.37 without bricking the device?

Dear friend,

The charge on/off option is for USB DAC function in computer. When using with Android mobile phone, you could try our CL06 or ML06 for help. And yes you could downgrade to previous firmware if you prefer.

Best regards

Working just fine on my end. In fact I mainly use mine with optical 24/96kHz on my PC because I can't be bothered to go through the procedure of turning off charging. Just make sure your cable is all the way in, optical connections are sometimes finnicky. Also, the Fiio adapter doesn't click in place like a normal 3.5mm jack, so you have to make sure it stays where it's supposed to be.

Can anyone else check if the charging OFF setting works with the new firmware when connected to PC?

Anyone know whether the Q5S stands any chance at all of driving the 600 ohm Beyerdynamic T1? Drives HD800S satisfactorily from the balanced output but I suspect the T1 might be pushing it...

It no longer works for DESKTOP (USB DAC mode),as I already stated. It's also an issue with smartphone android audio output, using the fiio otg cable and my other otg cables or adapters. Maybe consider added another option with direct desktop or Android control of that particular battery charge option. Your engineers changed something in the code from 0.37 to 0.39.

Also when activating Bluetooth, with sensitive iems (32ohm, which are not THAT sensitive) the increase in hissing is pretty significant. I am using the AM3D.

I checked when connected to phone and charger. In these cases behaviour is exactly the same as in v.0.32 and 0.37. When switched off by bluetooth or first switch device on and then connect with double otg cable then there is only about 2 mA going to device so NO CHARGING.
This finding is not according led lights but MEASURED.
I haven't tried connection to PC yet but expect the same as when connected to phone.

As for now v0.39 is working for me. I also tried DSD512 but it was not easy to achieve in foobar by resampling to work I would have to switch output sw devices all the time and sometimes it worked sometimes did not, if somebody needs DSD resampling I would recommend DSD256, it works better and easier to achieve.
I tried resampling from 16/44 to DSD256 and sound is different, more smooth maybe cleaner but les punch or dynamic. Matter of taste. Question is quality of this resampling. There is not much info about Foobar DSD processor.

I did not tried hires by optical/coaxial input yet.

Compared to the q5s (AM3E), the m11 sounds a bit easier across the entire range, with less detail and less bass control. The sound of Q5s with the AM3D module does not make sense to compare with the M11, this is a completely different level.

Hi could you please kindly compare the SQ between AM3E and AM3D. Thanks

thanks. could be my source and/or cable. I am going to go with coax since that goes to 192.

I just installed FW v0.39.
Installation went smoothly, following the pdf instructions.
"Charging Off" setting works as supposed (as before) with PC USB connection.
Connected to phone using CL06 - no back-charging.
So no issues for me at the moment.

Still missing that long press on a hardware button for setting "Charging Off". Maybe on next firmware?

On 39 software too. No problems connecting to Fiio App on my iPhone to disable charging. However, once disabled, the Q5s still shows charging when in USB mode.

Yep, same on my device. Seems some devices work, and some don't on V0.39. What otg cable do you have and what amp?

Standard micro USB cable connected to my Macbook.

I ordered a moon audio otg, to see if that helps.
