I don't ask for too much, FiiO. Just make a successor for the E17K. Better internals, lower O.I., less (or better, zero) hiss. Same exact features. Tone controls, lock button, low power consumption OLED display.

In fact, I recently discarded my ol'painless, 4 y.o. E17K...and bought the same exact thing second-hand. Because it has what your current offerings don't: tone controls with logical increments. I prefer +/- bass and treble instead of only bass boost and rudely at 6db from the get go. I don't need that much.

I treat tone controls like I treat my condiments. Only if I want them, on my own terms, my own amounts. They are extra side sauce rather than the actual ingredients in the recipe. I prefer to avoid using them for correction, instead just for episodic bass/treble/midhead-ness. The earphones, as flat as possible to avoid having the manufacturer's house sound "colour-grade" the content too much, but I digress.

Anyway, I'm still using UAPP to uber my music. I definitely will still pair up a flat-tuned IEM to an E17K successor with tone controls at the ready. I've got my eye on a particular Aussie brand of IEMs for now.

Same here. Still like my Andes. One of my E7 has some contact problems with the phones so I bought two more 2nd hand plus the desktop amp. Just looking for an extra small DAC/amp dongle for my new Redmi phone. Good ones are quite cheap on AliExpress.

I'm keen on trying Korg's Nutube tube module, like the ones in Cayin and iBasso, too. Honestly, I don't know how good it is, and there are not many review about it, just very curious.

They are very very good. I have tried it on cayin 8 which I used the same way as I use my Q5S. smartphone to q5s (bluetooth) to my heddphone.

Thanks for all the kind feedback! We will record and report to our product manager.

Best regards

I had the Q1 mk2 and now the Q5s. They both could have done with a hold button to stop accidentally volume change and input switch etc.

Would also like to see MQA support on the Q5s.

Dear user,

Thanks for your feedback.
The MQA support could not add for the Q5s.
Firstly, we haven't started the development yet. And the development and certification are a particularly long process.Even if Q5s can support MQA, it's just render, not decoder (2X unfoldings).
The main control certification for players are different from the usb channel certification as well. We will try to support the MQA in our new DAC products in the future.

Best regards
