FiiO Q5s Type-C DAC & Headphone Amplifier

Omnipotent Type C port eventually came true

Still holding on to the design language of a detachable amp module, the new version of Q5s is compatible with all FiiO AM series modules. The standard AM3D balanced amp module included is equipped with the Type-C port, along with the 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced headphone output.

THX AAA amp module

The AM3D is an independent amp module being certified by THX, meaning it has reliably cut the mustard of THX AAA technology. The two THX AAA-78 modules build a fully balanced amp architecture, achieving more superior audio performance as well as output power, so to immerse users in a music world of high quality yet low distortion.

Packing dual AK4493 chips

The extremely powerful flagship DAC and amplifier has once again set a new bar in performance. The Q5s (Type C version) employs a dual DAC design, with the left and right channels each equipped with the next generation AKM AK4493EQ DAC chip一with its lower distortion, higher signal-to-noise ratio, and greatly more refined mids and highs.

Bluetooth 5.0, aptX adaptive added

Thanks to the Qualcomm QCC5124 Bluetooth chip, the Q5s (Type C version) is able to support Bluetooth 5.0, which keeps hi-res Bluetooth formats like the LDAC and aptX HD, but with a new format added- aptX adaptive. It owns stable audio output streams so that it can ensure a free shuffle between low latency when playing games/watching videos, and high quality when enjoying music.

Audiophile-grade power supply

A well-designed power supply goes a long way towards achieving great sound. Alongside the numerous low-noise LDO regulators, the analog, digital, low-pass, and amplification sections of the Q5s are independently powered and isolated from each other – ensuring your music comes through as cleanly and purely as possible.
