I just got my UE 18+ CSX, and they’re phenomenal. I had a fit issue with my right ear, but I seem to always have that and they sent me Comply strips to test for adjustment. I’m replying because I thought they included the Bluetooth module on the Pro side as well, and that module has the really...

Like, "it's an experience that needs to be heard!"  Or something.

When I use my X5, I play almost all the usual suspects I have lying around directly out of it.  However, I prefer using the E18 KUNLUN with it to drive my AKG Q701 with the EQ flat on the X5 and the bass boost switch enabled on the amp.  I sometimes used the bass boost when I used it as a DAC...

OK, I ironed out the residual stupidity of a version migration in Notepad++ that wiped out some old macros, including versions of this.  This will add #EXTM3U to the top of the playlists so it will play nice with whatever you're using to create playlists that doesn't automatically do this for...

There was before with absolute paths, but since 2.4 I haven't found a way to make a file that works at all.  I'm trying an updated M3U8 right now without the #EXTM3U header.

  I use a SanDisk 128 GB in my X5 and it's fine.

On the stuttering with storage media, it's quite often that the old I/O classification system (such as "Class 10" that a lot are buying) had vendors basically tweaking the media characteristics to support high speed consecutive reads and then writes, while random reads take forever.  Since the...

Out of curiosity, have those who've been affected been using shuffle/random AND repeat at the same time?  Android had about as close to a "pure" random function when repeat was enabled.  It would actually do amazingly stupid things like play the same track two or three times in a row.  I believe...

  What's a "left hander?"  Are they spoken of in the scrolls of Alexandria?  LOL ;-)

  I deal with UI in software, and having used a LOT of South Korean devices over the years, this navigation didn't surprise me at all.  Hell, certain languages are read "backwards" from conventional English, and a great many things are changed in an effort to see what might work better.  These...

  I believe the X5 uses a hybrid dual-mono arrangement for much of its processing chain, and I know the first time I heard a lot of my music (including stuff I made myself to test) I was genuinely surprised at how "wide" everything was.  I love the FiiO X5 and would get another, but I kind of...

Everything but my AKG Q701 uses "normal" (low) gain on my X5, and my when using my E18 I can even have my Q701s on low gain and usually peak at 5 on the volume control.

  One other issue is the possibility of counterfeit cards that show up more often in the higher capacities.  I typically stick with SanDisk, and I've read of those who bought "SanDisk" cards that might have actually been from that manufacturer, but were hacked to report a new size and then...

  Are you kidding me?  You haven't seen ANY charts showcasing has impedance can vary at given frequencies, thus affecting power delivery and damping?  Good job.  I love all the electrical engineers here...   However, in ANY case having a poor "match" (not a power transfer match, but more of a...

  You'll find that some amps might list impedance values vs. wattage outputs that don't necessarily calculate the way you'd expect.  One factor affecting this is a low impedance headphone simply causing the amp to run out of current.  Also, variations in the impedance across frequencies can...
