FiiO Q5s TC Bluetooth Amplifier

FiiO Q5s Type-C DSD-Capable Amplifier:

AKM AK4493EQ DAC Chip

The extremely powerful flagship DAC and the amplifier have once again set a new bar in performance. The FiiO Q5s TC employs a dup DAC design, with the left and right channels each quipped with a next-generation AKM AK4493EQ DAC chip - with its lower distortion, higher signal-to-noise ratio, and greatly more refined mids and highs.

Omnipotent Type C Port

Q5s TC 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.

XMOS XUF208 USB Decoding 

In order to further improve sound quality, the FiiO Q5s TC utilizes the XMOS XUF208 USB decoding chip paired with a precise clock matching management system, allowing for support up to 768kHz/32 bit PCM and hardware-decoded native DSD - so you can be sure of excellent sound no matter what format your music is in.

Bluetooth 5.0

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.

High-Performance OPAMP

The dual AK4493EQ DACs work together with six carefully-implemented op-amps to form a
truly balanced audio design. 4-channel analog volume control, Panasonic film capacitors.

3.5mm and 4.4mm Outputs

FiiO Q5s TC continues to use the interchangeable AMP module design of its predecessor and is fully compatible with all FiiO amp modules released thus far. The new standard amp balanced amp module
AM3E is versatile, with 3.5mm single-ended as well as both 2.5mm and 4.4mm balanced outputs. FiiO Q5s supports line-out output.

Flagship Decoding

With the upgrade to the XMOS clock management system, the Q5s TC has unparalleled decoding capabilities over USB, SPDIF, and Bluetooth. USB supports up to 768kHz/32bit and native hardware-decoded DSD; SPDIF supports up to 192kHz/24 bit, and Bluetooth supports up to 96kHz/24 bit (under LDAC).

RGB lights

The RGB lights are a clever way of indicating the audio format -the 6 different colors quickly tell you which Bluetooth codec is currently being played through the Q5s Type-C version.
