The Qudelix-5K thread

can anyone screenshot the presets please? I didn't see any.

It's not obvious. They're talking about the EQ presets.. goto the EQ page, tap the curve and scroll down to the bottom.

 

[Mouseman]

Yeah, hopefully that gets fixed in the next app version, although I've gotten used to it. I also think the EQ sliders are a bit glitchy at times. But overall, the sound is fabulous.

Tap the EQ curve area on the top half of the screen (I am using Android) The bottom half will show the presets and 10 custom profiles after the presets where you can save your own. I don't use EQ which is why you don't are the curve on my screenshots but clicking that area will get you to the presets.

I agree. I think there is a bug with the implementation that needs to get ironed out. I did post in the official forum and the responded to me with the below link, which was not very helpful and indicated they did not really understand my issue so I posted some screenshots there. Hopefully they can fix it.

If you're still having problems, try applying the beta version of firmware distributed for the Japanese Galaxians.
If the problem between your V60 and Q5k is just same as in Japanese Galaxy, it maybe fixed.

This is hotfix for Japanese Galaxy, and those who have no problems don't need apply it.

Set INPUT-USB to 96Khz in Qudelix app, connect Q5k to PC, and run "run_dfu.bat"

If I recall correctly, he Japanese Galaxy connected via LDAC but did not have any sound. My issue is that LDAC does not even show up with the 5K and V60. Here is the response from Qudelix on their official forum:

Appreciate your kind understanding.
As you may know, 5K DAC AMP is the world's first product that supports LDAC and aptX-Adaptive with QCC512x.
There might be a few interoperability issues.
We can't get V60 here since LG didn't release it officially in Korea.
Please give us some time.
Thanks!


I will give them some time. Does anyone here have a LG V60 who is able to use it with the 5K via LDAC? Want to make sure it is not just my unit. I still have my Galaxy S9 which works with the 5K via LDAC so my Galaxy S9 will be getting another lease on life for now.

My issue is that LDAC does not even show up with the 5K and V60. Here is the response from Qudelix on their official forum:

I see. misunderstanding.
V60 has been released too in Japan, but it seems that there isn't report same issue.

Thanks so much!

Thought I would post here first before the Qudelix forum. I have a Pixel 2 running the latest Android and the app doesn't seem to communicating with the device. I can make various changes in the app (e.g., equalizer, volume) but no change actually takes place and settings don't stick after close. I can't see status indictors like the battery graph either.

I've had this issue quite a bit; what seems to solve it is to quit the app and make sure the 5K isn't connected to any other devices except the phone and then start up the app again.

Thanks, I just uninstalled the app, erased the Bluetooth connection, and reset the device. Everything seems to be working again.

I wonder why the app doesn't automatically connect when the device connects to the phone via Bluetooth.

 

[TK33]

Connection to the phone and app appear to be separate which is why you need to pair them separately. I do wish it were more seamless but I dont really find myself going into the app these days.

Here is my solution to 5K less than practical shirt clip design. Search Aliexpeess for "magnetic name tag holder" for similar product, but remember to keep the size in mind as you'll want something small enough to stick to the back of 5K.

Does that polarize all of the audio in one direction?

That's an interesting idea. I was wondering what could be done for straight jacks, especially 2.5mm. I wonder if there are cheap, short right angle 2.5mm balanced extenders anywhere, like there are for 3.5mm. Is that even possible for balanced?

I have been searching for a small right angled 2.5mm plug to use on custom cable but so far fail to find a suitable solution, at least not a simple one.
