This has happened on mine as well.

The update from Fiio: "No, currently the X7 could not turn on when you power up the K5. You would need to power on the X7 by holding the power button." Very disappointing.

Yeah, I've posted it several places and sent them a direct message...haven't heard anything back :(.

They shut down together fine. However, it doesn't turn on with the K5 when docked. You have to turn the K5 on, then turn on the X7 seperately.

I'm loving the fact that the AM3A is able to drive my headphones (LCD-X, Teak, AFO) really well. I'm liking the K5 I just got in for a little extra oomf. I just wish my X7 mkii would power on when I turn on the K5. It will power down when I turn the knob off, but the X7 goes from the welcome...

When using with the X7 mkii, is there a setting that lets the X7 turn on when you power up the K5? Right now, my X7 will power down with the K5, but only goes to the charging screen when I turn the K5 on.

Thanks. If that one works, now I'm wondering if some of the cheaper, similar Bluetooth remote for Android work.

Has anyone found a decent remote for this (bonus if it works while the X7 mkii is docked to a K5)? I'm looking for a Fiio rm1, but was hoping there was a better solution.

How do you match (i.e. what do you use)? I'd like to dabble with that a bit, if the tech isn't too expensive.

So when you plug the X7 mkii (let's say with the AM3A attached) into the K5, are you bypassing the dac on the X7 for the one in the K5? I would hope you could use the dac from the X7 and then just amplify the signal with the more powerful K5 This part of the hobby makes my head spin.

Thanks for the info. I'll update with my findings in the K5 and go from there.

I tried the Jot dac/amp combo and could get things to work on the USB with the Fiio. I tried getting help with it, but no one stepped forward. I ended up selling it a bit ago :(.

Any desktop amp recommendations? I have a Fiio K5 coming to play with but am not sure it will do justice to my LCD-X or Aeon Flow. The AM3A sounds good on both headphones as well, but I can't help but wonder if I can take things to the next level without leaving my dap behind.

Anyone know how well the NFB-11.28 does with an LCD-X?

Any suggesting for an amp around $400 or less (preferably) to run my LCD-X? I'm running a Fiio X7 dap/dac/amp with it, but feel it needs more to make it shine. As an aside, I just got mine. The weight is crazy, but the new headband really helps mitigate this.

I did a write up a while ago comparing the two. After all was said and done, the Aeon edged out the LCD2C for me. At times I found the LCD2C was a bit harsh to my ears (not too bad, but not as smooth as the Aeon). If I remember correctly, the didn't dig quite down as low as the LCD2C, but the...

They're very different headphones. The PM3 is closed while the PM1 is open (although not super open - there is a bit of isolation). The PM1 have much better/cleaner bass and midrange (I didn't feel the high end was that much better and liked both). The PM1 has a larger soundstage and, to me, was...

I've been using my AFO with my Fiio X7 MKii for a few days now. They sound great on it and I'm not really feeling the need to go back to a desk amp anytime soon.

Has anyone tried the LCD-X with a Fiio X7 mkii? I'm wondering if the stock AM3A amp with the Fiio will push them.

That's awesome. Any chance you could answer the question I posted right before in this thread?

The book store? I'm not sure what you mean. Please see the pictures below for the cables I used. I tried both and it still didn't work.

Does anyone have any clues on how to go from my Fiio X7 MKii via micro USB, to my Schiit Jotunheim, out balanced to my headphones? I tried switching it to USB DAC, but still didn't get any audio. If it helps, I'm running build 1.0.5, kernel version 3.0.101+, and am on Android 5.1.1

I ended up returning mine. The small problems I noticed in the highs persisted throughout more and more of my listening, so I sent them back. Definitely a very cool headphone and I love what they did with the fit, but they just weren't for me. The search continues...

From what I've heard, I didn't care for them as much with higher female voices. However, they did well with lower male voices. I'll have to do some more sampling though.

This is my first real impressions write-up, sorry if I miss anything. Obviously this is entirely subjective. I started this as a versus sort of thing, but they're both awesome and I ended up just adding some of my notes. Take it how you will. I did not use the filters in the AFO during my...
