Flagship-level Bluetooth DSD decoding earphones, Feiao Q5s product details
Before introducing Q5s, review the history of prototype Q5. The old Q5 product planning began in 2015 and was completed in early 2018. After several demand adjustments, Q5, with its absolute advantages such as MFi, atpX Bluetooth and replaceable ear amplifier module, has ensured the love and recognition of users after listing, and is still competitive in products at the same price.
with the development of wireless audio technology and the successful development of Feiao's BTR series products, Q5 's Bluetooth performance is gradually lagging behind, so the upgrade plan for Q5 will be put on the agenda at the end of 18.
Therefore, Q5s is a multi-function decoding ear device that locates the flagship level. It is upgraded from the original Q5. The new Q5s retains the appearance of the original Q5, with a powerful digital audio core and professional analog audio architecture. Use USB, Bluetooth, SPDIF, LINE IN and other methods with computers, mobile phones, players and other devices to achieve extended functions and improve sound quality.
1. Q5s upgraded on the original Q5?
1. Bluetooth encoding of the Bluetooth chip
Upgrade from CSR8670CSR8675, and added aptX HD, LDAC, HWA(LHDC) lossless Bluetooth encoding support. Like BTR3, Q5s supports seven mainstream Bluetooth encoding formats on the market, and the wireless audio specifications have reached the level of small gold standard Hi-Res Wireless.
2. The instructions are clearer and easier to use.
Feiao's original RGB Bluetooth format and sampling rate authentication function are used in Q5s without exception. The hidden RGB light bar on the front can be used in the Bluetooth decoding stateIndicates six different Bluetooth encoding formats.can indicate the sampling rate, Hi-Res the sampling rate and DSD format in USB and SPDIF decoding states.
In addition, four independent LEDs are designed on the side of Q5s respectivelyUSB/LINE IN/fiber/coaxial input status, and cleverly use these 4 LEDs to indicate battery power and charging status.
3. The decoding capability is enhanced and the audio configuration is improved.
Q5s has upgraded the clock system. USB channel decoding can support 768k sampling rate and native DSD decoding. The flagship strength has been further proved. Audio DAC Upgrade to AKM Third Generation VELVET ClassAK4493 * 2,The two DAC chips still use independent left and right channels.
4. Not only is it playable, but it also has more interfaces.
in recent years, although balanced-driven headphones have become more and more popular, the interfaces have not been unified. In order to adapt to more earphone connectors, Q5s still adopts replaceable module design and comes standard with a new AM3E module. The AM3E module has2.5mm/3.5mm/4.4mmthree specifications of earphone connectors can adapt to most balanced earphones.
2. decoding ear player and music player
portable lossless audio player has become the focus of attention in HiFi audio industry. Its increasingly powerful performance and changeable functions are highly praised by countless businesses. Take Feiao's player, for example, from M5, which sells for 598, to M11, which sells for 2998, all have USB decoding and Bluetooth reception decoding, even DLNA LAN decoding and Airplay space decoding. Does such a full range of extended decoding functions mean that the player will completely devour the market of traditional decoding earphones?
At present, it seems that there must be some impact, but it is not yet time for complete substitution. On the one hand, portable decoding earphones are constantly evolving and upgrading in the process of development; on the other hand, the two are still distinguished in application scenarios, unilateral performance, and scalability.
Take Feiao M11 and Q5s with similar prices for a brief comparison:
1. In terms of common functions, player M11 itself is a complete system,Most scenarios are used independently;and decoding the earpiece Q5s is still an additional device,with computer/mobile phone/player, it can give full play to the potential of the original equipment and improve the audio quality. Therefore, Q5s must be complete in terms of support interface types. The input interface includes USB/Bluetooth/optical fiber/coaxial/AUX.
2. Second, for the same number input,Q5s is compatible with many devices.For example, USB input, Q5s can be connected to iOS devices (such as ipod touch,iPhone,ipad) for decoding, and it is lossless decoding certified by Apple's official MFi. If you want to decode with SONY player, it is also possible to use Feiao custom wire L27.
3. Not only are there more compatible devices,decoding performance is also stronger.Q5s supports a maximum of 768k/32bit and DSD hard decoding for USB interface decoding. Bluetooth reception decoding supports full format.
4. The product experience used as a decoder is also different.Q5s is faster and more convenient,is ready to use; The replaceable ear placement module design is adopted, which can meet the needs of different timbre and different thrust, and can also be adapted to more earphone interfaces.
Therefore, M11 is good enough for fans who use it with them in most cases and occasionally use it as a DAC to connect to a computer to listen to songs. If you want to get different listening experiences and like a variety of playing methods, Q5s will certainly live up to your expectations:
1.are used to listening to songs on their mobile phones,but not satisfied with the sound quality of the mobile phone, the matching decoder is expected to have better sound quality than the mobile phone, whether in wired decoding or Bluetooth decoding;
2.likes to use small players (such as Feiao M5/M6), the mobile use scene is not bound, as a digital turntable (USB or coaxial output), plus a decoder to enjoy higher sound quality;
3.senior players,has accumulated various earphones on hand and wants to try the sound performance under different driving modes, such as 3.5mm/2.5mm/4.4mm interface. In addition, Q5s with K5 can also push big ears.
Comparison between M11 and Q5s
3. the strength of flagship decoding, Q5s uses collocation scenarios
- use the attached Lightning To Micro cable to connect with iPhone, or purchase CL06 to match Android phone,Play on FiiO Music Appto achieve lossless and DSD decoding;
* Note: Q5s is MFi-certified, so the compatibility with iOS devices is guaranteed. However, since there is no unified standard for USB AUDIO in the Android system, if you need to use it with CL06 decoding line, please consult customer service first.
2. Use L27 and SONY ZX300A player to achieve lossless and DSD decoding;
3. Use L28 to matchFeiao M5 Playerto achieve lossless decoding;
* Note: The fiber and coaxial inputs of Q5s do not support DOP. Therefore, when using the following example, set the spdif output of the player to D2P.
4. Replace the standard AM3E with other ear modules,with K5 baseis connected with the computer to realize lossless and DSD decoding and easily push the big ear;
5. Connect via BluetoothM7 player,LDAC HD Bluetooth decoding.
To sum up, Q5s is a Bluetooth decoding earpiece with rich usage scenes. Whether it is matched with mobile phones, computers, players and Bluetooth earphones, Q5s can exert excellent decoding strength, and one machine can feel the colorful music world.
