The Q5 use a Texas Instruments TAS5342 chip vs a TDA7498E used in the SA-98E.
I have a Q5 pro attached to a Amazon Echo Dot, running into a pair of CEntrance Master Class speakers. It sounds fanastic.
The problem is, I leave this setup on 24/7, and the blue digital number display of the Q5 is always on. I fear it will burn itself out over time.
Plus I don't make use of the DAC or other features of the Q5, so those are wasted in my application.
This simple, one purpose power amp seems to fit the bill better, but I am enjoying the sound of my Q5 setup so much, I'm hesitant to change it without more information on how the two amps compare.
