Don't even joke about shipping bricks... Remember Miniscribe and their shipped bricks? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiniScribe -Poto

Just went through and verified because Fiio asked, it was from two different sellers within amazon so I don't think the sold me back the same device. -poto

Unfortunately, it was both the in and out jacks. I tried multiple line cords for the unput and multiple headphones also to include adapters. (note, my opinion) It seemed like the jacks were basic soldered to the board and only thing limiting movement was the hardware case. As previously stated...

First one was purchased on Amazon from All About Office. Second one was also purchased on Amazon and it was from Electronics Expo Both were purchased under prime for quick delivery. -poto

Love my Fiio x5 3rd gen, all of the jacks seem very stable and I have had zero issues. On the two A5s the jacks had quite a bit of play. It was in both the line in jack as well as the 3.5mm headphone out jack. Had high hopes with the low price and all of the hype but it just wasn't my...

Sorry, late to the gathering and late to post. Thanks to everyone that helped put this gathering together in the first place. Also thanks for the generous donor/s that had the cost of the room covered before I got there. Loved the LCD-4s and really loved the rig, I believe it was the Sonoma...

Just wondering. Did anyone else run into problems with the jacks on the A5? I went through two of them. The first one I figured was a dud after using multiple line cables and headphones. Any touching of the cables caused me to spend minutes attempting get the cables to a position that wasn't...

Probably referring to the v20. Marketed as quad dac. It's an ESS SABRE 9218 http://www.audioxpress.com/article/new-es9218-sabre-hifi-soc-from-ess-technology-introduces-highest-quality-audio-for-mobile-devices. I just actually ordered one in an emergency, not realizing there was anything special...

Thanks auralust! Currently experiencing a "duh!" moment. Didn't even notice it until you pointed it out. -poto

I just received my vyrus v2's a couple of days ago. Enjoying them so far. Is there an easy way to tell the difference between the filters with dampers and those without?

Thanks for the prompt response. I will try another line cable before contacting FiiO. Hoping it's just the connectors on the line cable supplied by them. Hate to think it is one of the jacks. Just bought this rig.   -poto

Marco, just curious, it looks like you are using the cable that came with the A5. Do you have any issues with it? Every time I touch the set up just a little bit I wind up losing audio, either to one side or the other or it cuts completely. Trying to figure if this is to be expected or if...

Just curious, what are using to connect the X5 to the A5? Currently using stock jumper cable that came with the A5 to connect my X5 3rd gen with my headphones. If there is any movement at all I get all kinds of different issues. From just a little bit of crackling to losing audio in one ear or...

  Thanks, I am just glad I have been able to keep them together for as long as I have. When we bought our house 14 years ago with a full unfinished basement, had an agreement with the wife that the basement was mine to do with as I will as long as my collection of computers and electronics did...

Been lurking around here for a few years. Figured I better create an account after I picked up some digital audio equipment and had some questions. Gear I recently picked up FiiO X5 3rd Gen FiiO A5 Fostex TH-X00 Currently awaiting a set of the Vyrus V2's from Trinity Audio   I do have...

Just picked up an X5 3rd gen and an A5 which is what it looks like you have pictured. Any ideas of when you are planning on shipping? Just a couple of odd thoughts if you are still looking for input The top band looks alittle close to the pause/play button Also, would acrylic pads supplied...

I would like to make it. I am a newb so don't have much to bring to the table yet Someone please let me know if it is even worth bringing FiiO X5 3rd Gen FiiO A5 Fostex TH-X00 Should have by then but not sure if there is any interest Trinity Audio Vyrus V2
