I am using the Fiio CLO6 cable to link. Does it make any difference to sound? I wonder.

I'm probably sure it's better to link USB. Mine is on the way. You'll get a digital signal to feed it- more accurate for the dacs and amps.

The UK amazon Q5s scam lasted 48 hrs. Now again there is no Q5s in the search results.

Honestly thinking one of these would be perfect for the commute/use at work!!
Much more practical and probably sound better than what I have!!!

Did i win yet?

Oh do u mean Mojo is even hotter?

Wonder when Fiio will give Q5S a lesther case?

I loved the Mojo, but i needed a bass boost button.

Ifi IDSD Bl, Ifi XDSD, Chord Mojo and FIIO Q5 was often compared as portable DAC/AMP solution and I wonder how new Q5S + AM3D would do in that battle?

 

[kaushama]

Feature-wise IFI always had been in the front for all in one solutions. They always had been praised for their swife-army knife audio solutions. But when comes to features Q5S beats all of them for its balanced output and I/O options. Its sound quality that needs to be compared specially paired with AM3D.
I guess and feel FIIO has a winner here.

Do somebody know the output impedance of AM3E and AM3D ?

You seem to be equating the bad luck and poor service that you had with a vendor with the Q5s itself. Of course it gets hots, there are lots of electronics inside, why wouldn't it get hot? And of course the module you were mistakenly sent won't power the headphones you mentioned. It is very unfortunate that you were sent the wrong amp module, but you should direct your anger where it is deserved.

I just looked and the AM0 has no amplification section so how is it you can evaluate the amplification capability when you didn't have an actual amp module to test with? I'm confused. Could you please clarify this. I hope that the situation it gets rectified to your satisfaction and you get the proper amp module. Good luck.

Oh yikes.I hate getting a new shiny toy and not being able to use it!

Agreed on misdirected annoyance, but man, what a bummer.

He is able to use it, it came with the am3d module. That's the stock one the device comes with.

Hey Fiio, that was your fault. You should honor your word and give gibby a Q5s also.

Fair is fair, you announced him as a winner, just saying.

But why do you find it more difficult to use with Android OTG than iOS? You just plug the cable and it works. Use it with UAPP on any Android phone from the last 5 years an it works perfectly Hi-Res, DSD and all. Not iOS biased at all.

Yes, this struck me as strange, too. OTG is plug n' play...

edit: apparently not on all phones. Live and learn!

Oh yes, it's been a long day. Yes sorry I meant am3e a fine module in it's own right.
