FiiO Q5s Type-C DAC/Amp versus Q5 DAC/Amp Comparison Chart
With the release of the FiiO Q5s Type-C DAC/Amp, we thought we'd do another comparison chart for you all comparing it to the predecessor from a couple years ago: the Q5. While there was a micro-USB Q5s available, that is no longer sourced and we have upgraded our stock only to the future-proof Q5s Type-C for you. Please check out the comparison chart below to see how they stack up!
