Fiio Q5 Bluetooth DAC/amp for sale. Comes with all original accessories. Unit is in excellent condition.

Included USB to lightning (iPhone) cable sometimes has trouble syncing correctly, which is solved by turning the unit off and on again. Might be a problem with the cable or my phone, not sure but I thought I should mention it. I've never tried the other cables as the unit has been used via Bluetooth 99% of the time I've owned it.

Superb sound quality and plenty of power. I've been using the unit via balanced port to power my LCD's which are full sized planar Magnetic headphones and need some serious juice to sound their best. The Fiio does a great job driving those headphones without breaking a sweat.

Unit can function as a Bluetooth dac/amp; headphone amp via the line in; or as a USB DAC/amp for your phone or PC etc.

Oooooh, tempted. Wish I as in CT to A/B this against my Mojo wired. I'm debating the convenience of wireless DAC/AMPs vs wired, because I'm getting annoyed with all them wires into the mojo to feed my Aeons. What did you get as an upgrade?

Yea wireless has come a long way. Since the Fiio passes the Bluetooth digital signal through the DACs in the same way as if it were wired, the sound quality doesn't really take any significant knock. I upgraded to an iFi micro idsd, and while it's a noticable step up, i do miss not having to use the silly apple cck adapter cable to connect to my phone which is waaaaay too short in my opinion.
