Yes! Believe me I was surprised when pitted against the N6 and find it performing remarkably well. Thanks for reading!

Nice review and that's a great battery life! Weehee!

Yeah I wished my N6 has that kind of battery life like the X5ii :/ Makes my (music-loving) life much more convenient! 
Thanks for reading!

Good review!

Nice write up! Thanks!
X5ii looks solid and stylish!

Thanks @mosshorn and @earfonia! Yes the X5ii is one solid package

very good review!

Liked the review! Thanks.

Thanks @Dobrescu George and @x RELIC x for the comments! Appreciate it

appreciate the detailed comparison. seems like 'airiness' being common feedback from reviewers. excited to check it out once i received mine. hopefully, there's a tweak for that elusive 'airiness'. thanks!

@kr1st: Yes as this is a pre-production tour unit hopefully Fiio will address this for the upcoming release. Thanks for your comments!

Good review.

Any comparison to the 1st gen X5?  That's the only glarying ommision I see here.

Thanks a lot for this nice review.
I currently have a E12/X5 combo, will the X5ii outclass the X5?
 
Look forward to test it!

wonder if ix5ii nternal chips are upgraded, since  x5 sound awesome already 

@reddog: Thanks for the comments! :

Thanks @neogeosnk, @esteboune and @jellyevan! Unfortunately I didn't have a X5 1st gen with me, do check out the main thread for this info, here's the link for the most recent pages and read backwards the last few pages as comparisons with the X5 were mentioned:

Nice read and good review!  Looking forward to trying out the X5ii at the next Head-Fi meet, comparing it side by side with the Questyle QP1.

Thanks very much @moedawg140! I've heard good things about the QP1, can't wait for impressions of it along with the X5ii!

We'll see how the impressions go - I probably won't post in-depth impressions unless I had the X5ii in my possession for a while, but I can always give my thoughts via PM if anyone is interested in the near future. Most likely, the best bet for both the QP1 and X5ii to be compared (with impressions) will be when the X5ii is able to be demoed at an upcoming meet and when the QP1 will be able to be A/Bed at the FiiO table (and vice-versa). I'm mostly interested in how both can handle headphones like the HE1000 with the most output power since I am not interested in using an external amp to power any of my ear/headphones.
