I use both connectors, don't really care, as long as they work that is good enough for me.
You can be interested in researching new technology and still enjoy listening to audio. One doesn't preclude the other and there is nothing wrong with those who are into the pursuit of newness. We all have our own journey through the hobby and all paths are equally valid, IMO.
Not in my experience, no. I haven't heard of Fiio botching any launches so far, so I don't think the Q5s is going to be different.I wonder what Fiio’s track record is like with product quality at launch? Does it make sense to wait a bit till they iron out the bugs?
For sure, not only do they have considerable learning from the Q5 launch, but not having to deal with Android and apps really simplifies things and by extension greatly reduces the variables that could turn into bugs. We know the build quality and design will be very good, we also know that FiiO can pull off excellent Bluetooth implementations as well as great DAC and amp sections. Because of these factors I think the Q5s and firmware will roll out rock stable. Doesn't mean some small issues might not arise, but to expect any issues larger than a minor annoyance seems hard to support when you examine the Q5 and that products entry into the market.Not in my experience, no.

It will work with Android or anything you plug it into. It simply isn't a digital audio player that needs constant updates like your common smartphone. Phone manufacturers have the manpower to crank out updates left and right but a smaller boutique/niche company like Fiio has had a track record of having some Android software hiccups. They are corrected in time just not as quickly as some may would like. But the Q5s and pretty much bulletproof when it comes to firmware. Receive signal amplify signal no muss no fuss.wait will it not work whit android ?

Fiio has had a problem with which android version is compatible with certain players. I any regard not having updates is not an advantage to advertise.
Yes, it will of course, I simply meant that because it isn't itself a DAP running Android there will be less potential bugs no matter what. Plus as others have said here, and I agree the Q5 was released stable and has remained a steady performer so the Q5s is going to be another great release. I think people sometimes fail to realize how difficult making a great DAP is. Not saying that there aren't times FiiO could perhaps improve their game, but overall they do a very solid job and produce really good devices.wait will it not work whit android ?
