Tai,
 
If this is said from the Nova point of view... Nova sounds thinner and more analytical?
 
I never chase for soundstage. Tone is the most important for me. Sound/tone with flesh and blood, and hopefully soul; the last one is very rarely found on hi-fi equipment. How good X3 deliver this?


Well, I guess in comparison, you can say Nova N3 does sound thinner and more analytical. N3 has a slightly roll-off bass under 100Hz as well, so sub-bass isn't nearly as emphasized as X3.
 
Don't really know how one can assess 'soul' of the sound without hearing it for oneself (kind of a subjective term). But flesh and bone are definitely there. If you ever heard people talking about HifiMan being the more 'musical' sounding among DAP, then X3 will be closely approximating that.

Does Fiio X3 able to support higher capacity external memory such as SDXC 2T in future firmware update?

In the case of iBasso DX50, it support SDXC 2T.

Those cards don't even exist yet.....

2TB is just the theoretical limit of SDXC. iBasso should not have used it as marketing claim. The microSD slots in X3 and DX50 are likely of the exact same type. Meaning if future SDXC cards adopt different pin setting / power consumption / hardware (like SDHC vs SD), neither X3 nor DX50 will support that 2TB SDXC.

Hi kob12,

I need advice from you guys , I'd like to buy studio-v 3rd anv but i dont know if its worth waiting for x3 and refuse from studio-v 3rd anv .. could you tell me is studio-v superior to fiio x3 ??



Superior sound or superior UI?

And for what headphones?



IEMs Sennheiser IE80 .. personally i dont care about UI , i'm interested just in sound :)



studio 3rd anv is almost twice price than fiio x3 ..teoriticaly studio should be superior to x3 I wondering about comparison in soundstage details and overall SQ .


It looks as if we will have to wait for a comparison between the X3 and Studio V 3rd Anniversary. It's a bit of an unfair comparison, but I'm interested, too.

Mike

Yes. I have the similar opinion like you.

hello, i want to ask again.
 
how about comparasion between X3 and iTouch 1st gen ?
 
thankyou

Assuming you're sincere about this question and not just trolling around, the X3 sounds better from any apple devices especially the iPod Touch 1st gen as I believe iPod Touch only started to sound decent with their 4th gen.
