disclaimer: i own a Q1 MkII
nope... the FIIO Q1 MkII has the gain switch too, digitec description is incorrect.

main difference is the A5 is no DAC, only an AMP, further differences include : the Q1 MkII has a 2.5mm balanced output in addition of the 3.5mm single ended and USB connection in addition of the 3.5mm LI/LO and support DSD decoding up to DSD256 (for those who need it ofc)

for the same price i wouldn't even recommend the A5 as a AMP since the Q1 MkII will do exactly the same for the same price and has around 3hrs more battery duration while having more options and functions and is around 60g lighter than the A5

As it stands, connectivity, battery life and the gain switch function.
