🎧 Qudelix-5K Bluetooth USB DAC AMP LDAC aptX Adaptive aptX HD AAC Dual ES9218p 3.5mm Unbalanced & 2.5mm Balanced Output Review

Fiio bit stability rules. I used to have fiio btr5. This is such a disappointment after all the rainbows I hear from the internet. Then again, 5k is awesome right out of the box. Smaller form factor, more stable connection, many more settings and LDAC works on BT with no issues. This is something I hope btr5 can pull off, but unfortunately not. The disadvantages of 5k are as follows: 1. The balance of 2.5mm is too close to 3.5mm2. The buttons feel too weak and easy to accidentally press.3. Case

After looking for a DAC for iPhone and iPad for some time I almost bought FiiO but another review led me to this device. I LOVE that I can plug it directly into my iPad Pro with the included USB-C cable and get a clean, uncompressed signal! You don't need an Apple adapter if you have USB-C ports.

After switching from the LG V30 to a phone without a headphone jack (thanks Samsung -.-) I needed a DAC that could drive the planar magnetic HifiMan HE-560 v4 that I use every day and it seemed to fit the bill as it had the power output needed to drive those power hungry headphones (it also works well with my higher impedance Sennheiser HD 650). I also saw the FiiO BTR5 and my first impression was how much lighter and smaller the 5K is; feels like twice as much. You miss premium glass and a…

I have both the es100 and Q5k. Q5k is more like es100. Tested on phones Tfz №3, Jvc Fx Ha 750 (balanced 2.5mm jack retrofit) Sony XB75ap (balanced 2.5mm jack retrofit) What's good: 1. Q5k has more custom EQ presets and overall a better app. It contains more information about the received signal, the battery and the parametric equalizer.2. Smaller and better built.3. More power in 2.5 is balanced, if you put 4V on the output, then the battery life is only 4-5 hours at about the same volume as…

Hello. I want to give my opinion on Quedelix 5K after almost 3 months of use. I hope what I'm sharing below will help others better understand this device. The Quedelix 5K is a very demanding audio device. I've noticed that it primarily/mostly captures "serious" sound lovers/enthusiasts. I myself like it so much and am really impressed by its sound quality that I feel it necessary to introduce it to a wider audience than just audio enthusiasts. For this reason I will try to explain it in a…
