Fiio Q5 or Q5s - both with am5

[PapaEmeritus]

@Nizr

Is it worth the extra money to get the Q5s, if so, why?
Can you tell the difference between them? And what’s the biggest sound difference, in you opinion?

Here’s a thread I started discussing briefly my experience with the Q5 and Q5s.

New Toy - Fiio Q5s with THX module

I had purchased two Fiio Q5 units in the past and had horrible difficulty with both units. Both of them ended being returned. I decided to give the Q5s a try with the new THX amp module and am happy to report it appears Fiio got their act together with this unit. Everything works perfectly and with complete ease so far.
