aha ok thanks...and the difference between the "always" and "until device restarts" settings?

Isn't it for the indicator on the front that shows what codec is being used? I never really touched it myself but presumably you can either turn it off for the duration of the session or switch it off permanently which might be handy for heavy use users on the go?

i hope FiiO Link on iOS can be server whislist

I'd love for the Fiio app to be functional whilst connected to my Iphone via the lead so I could use the filters, equaliser and balance controls. At the moment I have the choice of either using bluetooth and the quality being limited (Tidal Master tracks no longer play at the higher rate) or connecting with the lead and having no adjustments. My hearing is a little bit funky so even just the balance control would be beneficial and neither Tidal nor the Iphone have any functions which can be used in conjunction. I did try using an equaliser called Boom (I think) which was a pretty decent app in general but it too was limiting the quality passed onto the Q5S and I could hear a noticeable difference in the quality when doing A/B tests so I didn't stick with it.

strangely enough I was listening to Qobuz in hi-res with the Q5sTC connected to the iPhone via the USB lead....I opened the FiiO control app and it showed the Q5 to be connected,,,and I managed to use the balance control which actually worked...but the equalizer did not...weird

 

[guido]

still not sure about the difference between the "always" and "until device restarts" settings...it has nothing to do with the RGB light...it is a setting which appears if you switch charging to "OFF"

 

[gigglebug]

Maybe yours is different to mine but it is certainly the case as far as my app is concerned. No such option under the charge selector, on or off. Different app features for different models?

Surely it would only be working under the same principle if it is different for your device/app though?

 

[guido]

yup...my app is different

 

[guido]

ok, I just realized that the "until device restarts" and "always" settings come on for both Charge and RGB when they are set to OFF

 

[FiiO]

ok, I just realized that the "until device restarts" and "always" settings come on for both Charge and RGB when they are set to OFF

Always: The setting will keep always even after restart.

Until device restarts: The setting will not keep after restart. For example, you set the charge option to off and this setting will keep when the Q5s TC is still on. But after turning off, the charge option will be set to on again automatically.

Best regards

Thank you, that makes sense..

I cannot find any info on the battery management...is it ok to leave the Q5sTC permanently connected via USB to my Mac?

The Q5 power switch is off when I don't use it..

Until device restarts: The setting will not keep after restart. For example, you set the charge option to off and this setting will keep when the Q5s TC is still on. But after turning off, the charge option will be set to on again automatically.

Can this setting be implemented in Q5s (non-TC) too, in a firmware update?

I feel the same way that it should be standardized for all Q5s platform

Dear friend,

Thanks for your kind feedback. We have reported to the engineer for assessing about that. But it may take some time for test and check.

Best regards

I've had the original Q5 for a few years and actually have never plugged it into a PC yet (only use bluetooth and with an iphone). Should I / is there any advantages to updating the firmware at this point if its been working fine? Any sonic differences? Is the process straightforward? thanks

Dear friend,

You could read this FAQ for help to update the firmware:https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/65276.html

The firmware update is not necessary. You could not update it if you would prefer.

Best regards

To Fiio, is there any future plan to make the Q5s TC a full certified with full unfold of Mqa device
