Does anyone know how ( as i have not been following this thread ) how much time will it take to fully charge the X3.
( dont confuse charge time with playback time . )

As of now there is no definite time so the wait is indefinite until the Firmware manufacturers fulfill their end of the bargain. Happy waiting.

Hi, i don't know if this has been asked before and it may sound amateurish to some, but what's the difference between a coaxial out and a line-out? Thank you.

coaxial out is an interface for Digital out. the output is in digital form , it must be fed to a DAC first, then the amplifier. It is use, when you have a better DAC and AMp than e3.
 
Line out means the, audio is already is analog form ( using the internal DAC of the X3 ) , it helps when you have a better amp than the internal amp of x3 .
 
to sum it up
X3 ( coaxial ) > External DAC > External Amp > headphone / IEM / speaker
 
X3 ( lineout ) > External Amp > headphone / IEM / speaker

Hey, thanks for explaining to me the difference between coaxial out and line out, i really appreciate it!

It would be cool if the X3 had a powered microphone jack for field recording! To use with electret microphones like the Panasonic WM61A.

dont want my dedicated audio player being diluted by fringe applications; creeping featurism is dangerous. it also doesnt have an adc, so it would have to be a usb mic

Agree 100%.  I just want a working high quality audio player that does nothing but play audio, either through a headphone-, line- or digital-out.
 
I don't need a portable hard drive, I don't need a recording device, and I don't need something to watch movies on, I just want a dap that focuses on audio out, and audio out alone, and I have no worries about Fiio delivering on that.

That is exactly it! Except for audio-only, there are enough options and combinations to buy.

Letter to all people who support and love FiiO
 
Dear all net-friends, customers and media:
 
First, I want to say thanks to all people who love and support FiiO, especially those friends who give us precious advice during the process of developing FiiO X3. But at the same time, I want to say sorry to all friends, because development of X3 has been frozen.
 
There are several reasons of freezing the development of X3. First: the supplier.  FiiO X3 using master chip and relative Firmware which are supposed to be provided by our suppliers ,but the supplier cannot give us qualified software within the limited time . Though we have granted them some days extension, they’re still unable to give us any predictable schedule. Secondly, the system is not so delicate in the present time. Take these reasons into consideration, we decided to freeze the X3 now , really sorry for that, hope all friends can understand us.
 
During the process of developing X3,in one hand, We want to express our thankfulness to all those who support and interact with us,
on the other hand ,I want to express the apologies to all. We don’t perform all promises because half of the resources of project X3 not all controlled by us. We will learn from this lesson. Before making a commitment, we will be preparing for everything and will not let all dear friends down.
 
As we all know these are normal problems that will be appeared during the development of projects. But this problems can not make us stop our plans on the development of DAP. Now we try to find more new resources and open platforms such as Android in order to develop more satisfactory products.
 
 
 

 

[JamesFiiO]

It is a very difficult decision, but I don't want you guys disappoint any more. it is not the result of everyone, but it will not happen again. 
 
Very sorry for that.

 

[airwax]

That's really sad news. But please continue the development if ever possible. Thanks for the update.

Sure, it is not about money or business, it is a common target of all members in here. but I still feel shame that we have not finish it on time.
