Q5s looks great... perfect match with my FH5 and HD85x. Thanks Fiio.

Dollar.

Did you have a discount coupon? If I remember it was 330 USD.

“Looks” is for eye-candy compliments, not ears..

Q5S seems to have been released. Looks like a pretty fine device with AM3E and a particularly interesting device with the AM3D.

Much as I enjoy the Toppong NX4 DSD (a great device in and of itself), I may have to move some items to get me the Q5S.

Glad to see it's finally here.

I just got the NX4 DSD myself, no complains other than it has no bluetooth... I don't think that I can keep both DACs. So I may end up returning the topping.

One of the sellers has 15 bucks coupon for purchases above 299.

Hopeful for my chances of winning a Q5s...need something modestly powerful for my hd660s. Thanx anyways Fiio n I hope this is available in India soon.

I wish it could be a Roon Endpoint on it's own, instead of being connected to a computer...

I was resisting getting the Q5S as I already have the Q5 and almost all the amp modules (including the AM3D), but I figured since it's my most used amp, it was worth upgrading. I am curious to see if I can actually hear a difference though; I am skeptical.

I look forward the the AM3E, with 2.5mm and 4.4mm outputs. I suspect that alone will lead to be preferring it over the AM3D.

I have both the M11 and the Q5 with the AM3D and I can hear a difference from the different DAC (Q5+AM3D vs M11+AM3D). Its minimal so really not worth it if your just looking for a DAC upgrade.

I love this company. From the original x3 (which still works great, btw) watching their progress has been mind-blowing and very gratifying. Thanks Fiio.

I have a BTR3 and it is good. Lacks a bit of power for some headphones/speakers but overall it's good. I am looking forward to having the option for other headphones when the Q5S arrives

I have the BTR3 as well and it's a great option for wireless play from a phone (iPhone in my case) while using whatever IEM you like. Being able to adjust volume directly on the BTR3 is a nice touch - no need to reach for the phone to mess with the volume.

is the power enough for Sennheiser HD650?

I would say no, at least to properly drive them. I have the HD6xx and I can give it a try when I return home from travel.

Read this review of the Q5. It's not a new review but still very relevant.

Can any Q5 owners confirm if the device will work without Fiio's drivers when connected to a computer? I'd like to use this at work and we're a bit restrictive when it comes to 3rd party drivers.
Cheers

Got an email to say item shipped on the 27th, but the only tracking I have is that item is waiting to be picked up. The Global Order Tracking website shows nothing, Speedpost says my tracking number does not exist, and my local international cannot find the parcel. Looks like something has gone amiss.
