I am really interested in this Q5s as a guy who usually sits in front of monitor (Desktop PC). This probably suits my preference more than the M11 than I own.

There are many good alternatives of dropping BT as a requirement.. since, in front of the PC and all.

That is good to know. However my travels last for 10-12 hrs so I need to know if I have to lug another power bank in the airport.

On BT, 10 hours is doable (with new battery), 12 likely not.

I clocked in ~11 hours the other day on the Q5, volume at 10 o’clock, low gain. Q5s has same rating and battery so the time should be very similar.

In future please consider a separate thread for the sweepstakes entries rather the existing Equipment Forums thread... though atm I guess it's only interferring with postage tracking discussion, so no harm done lol

*edit* noticed there's a new thread for impressions/discussion:

So, how soon before there is a Q5s Pro?

Hopefully never. Would be interested in a “Q6” for improved / changed ergonomics and power management.. a “pro” version would
not give sufficient marketing space for real improvements. It would be nice to see the E17K Alphen revisited (= “Q6”?).

I guess the pro version is Q5S with AM3D!

 

[jam130]

Is it possible to get the Q5s paired with the AM3D amp module?

Who is the local dealer in Greece and do they have the Q5s is stock? I am in Greece for two more days and might try to pass buy and listen to it if they have a demo unit on display.

This site allows you to put in your cart but then as you can see it will be available August 4th.

As @bgtip said above, it's not really available yet. You can preorder it I think, but it will be available on August 4th. I know I'm ordering one as soon as it drops.

Ah, into the UK Fiio use 4PX, as they have a UK base, then the Q5s is handed over to Royal Mail Parcel Force for delivery. 4PX are very slow in up dating tracking, as of the 26th my Q5s was either waiting to leave China, in the air, or in the UK, it's possible that tracking will not change until it is handed over to Royal Mail.
