I Love my fiio Q5s, it sound fantastic with all my IEM. Campfire Solaris, Andromeda, AKG3003i, ie800s, Dita truth.
I looked at the photos again and I think the story is that they met in a bar, Q5s bought that girl a drink in a metal cup, they hooked up (well she hooked up her iems to the Q5s), Q5s brought much listening pleasure to the girl and they lived happily ever after - or until a newer model is released.Have you not popped to a bar just to sit there gazing lovingly at your Q5s then??
Well the q5s through the bluetooth app on an iPhone you can change the eq quite a bit... and I have no frame of reference for how to EQ a headphone so any links or anything would be greatly appreciated.
What you don't see is that the girl brought a third entitiy...the one with a bluetooth otherwise there won't be any musicI looked at the photos again and I think the story is that they met in a bar, Q5s bought that girl a drink in a metal cup, they hooked up (well she hooked up her iems to the Q5s), Q5s brought much listening pleasure to the girl and they lived happily ever after - or until a newer model is released.
I got the cable. My first reaction is that the sound is a little brighter. It sounds very good indeed. I also spotted a difference in bass. My previous cable was hd650 original cable with a sennheiser cable adaptor.I’ll be interested to hear your experience of it then once you have had a bit of time with it.
Is it a spc or silver cable ?I got the cable. My first reaction is that the sound is a little brighter. It sounds very good indeed. I also spotted a difference in bass. My previous cable was hd650 original cable with a sennheiser cable adaptor.
Ill try to compare it with the original hd 600 cable also.
i dont know from outside it is plastic editIs it a spc or silver cable ?
If you want to eq somthing stay away from the q5sHi everyone
Im reconsidering this Q5s to upgrade (if there is any) to my ES100, since i only use a pair of Shure se846 im looking for even better clarity and definition in the sound, have any of you have them both to compare and tell me if its woth the upgrade?
And also i eq in the 32hz (+4dB) and i can use this settings in every device i connect my es100 (pc, s9+, tab s6) and the sound will be always equalized. Does the q5s have a similar eq?
Having used the Fiio A5 and A3 bass boost, i dont consider it since its more like a mid-bass bost and my se846 are perfect by adding just some rummble in the deepest notes
Thanks for the info, i really want the EQ function so the Q5s is a no for me, even when it really seems like a proper portable dac/amp, just lacks some convenient features to appeal like the ES100If you want to eq somthing stay away from the q5s
Wired the eq just work for the fiio player
On ldac it dont work at all
Pure soundwise it is better then the es 100 but the eq is unbeatable
You could wait for qudelix 5k its the same guy who made the es100 and it will have a better eq then the es 100. But i doubt it will sound cleaner then the q5s the hardware is purley superior then the es100 or qudelix

in the description it is written "This cable is made with a silver plated cable" A comparison with some adaptors i have

The Q5s has intrigued me for a while as a portable DAC/Amp option. How is the portability of this device? Does it fit in pockets? Is it heavy?
think of it as a chunkier iphone 4, like 2 iphone 4s stacked together. it is light enough though. it's portable depending on your use case. if you stack to a phone and use cables, it is chunky.
the bt is unstable if you store it and your phone in different pockets.
if on a commute and you have a bag or large pockets in a jacket, it should be fine.
my 'portable' use case is actually moving my dac/amp from when i'm at home or my gf's place or work. think of it as a portable desk dac lol
if you really really need portable, and can sacrifice power (depending what you intend to power) maybe a btr5 could also work.
for me i need to power headphones, so i need the power.
