Nope, option restricted by my service. $40 unlimited everything using Sprint's network, but it's the only phone option.

Oh ok, thats pretty badass.

  For those using the X3 as a DAC here is a repost of the Icons I have made for it and the E17/E09K combo.
 
Made an icon up for Windows 7 Playback Devices for the X3 as a DAC just like I did for the E17 and Burson Conductor SL.

 
Save this X3 Icon file in your Docs or Pics, if you set the icon then move the file you will have to set it again.

Here is the E17/E09K Icon as well for anyone that wants it as well.

Then:
Right Click the volume control in the notification area and select Playback Devices.
You can also rename the Speaker to FiiO X3 or whatever you choose.
Click on the Speaker Interface (FiiO X3) and select Properties.
On the properties dialog screen click the Change Icon Button.
Select the saved Icon file below and hit OK.
 
Much nicer IMHO.

Using the X3 icon on win 8.1. Thanks for this!

It took me a while to work out how to use the X3 on my PC.
 

 
The picture may not be very clear.
 
The X3 calls its self FiiO USB Audio Class 2.0 DAC Analogue Stereo and I had to select that for all the sound to pass through the X3. I found it even harder working out how to get my E10 to do this because that calls its self Digihub USB Analogue Stereo.
 
When using the E10 and X3 as a DAC with my PC, the quality I would say is about the same. I prefer the E10 because it had a dial but I also like the X3 because it has much more EQ.

It takes quite a while to scroll through all of my music on my micro SD card so I decided to create folders called A - M and N - Z and put the music in them. That has worked fine. I just don't understand why I always have the folders called .Trash-1001 and LOST.DIR.. I can't get rid of them. They must just be on the card and can't be removed or something.

Are you using OS X by any chance?

I think that SD card was used on an Android device (or another *nix OS such as Ubuntu).

@TheGiantHogweed: you should be able to delete those hidden folders from your PC.

That's an OSX thing. I use Eject For Windows and it cleans up those files very nicely. Just download it and use it to eject your media when your finished transferring files (drag your X5 mSD drive icon to the app).

You can find it here

There are also alternatives that I haven't used. If you search this thread for Eject For Windows I'm sure you'll find lots of hits with alternatives.

Edit: The format of those files looks slightly different than the OSX format. Maybe it was used on Android before. If that's the case, and you're using Windows, then follow MrScratch's advice, or re-format the cards with the X3 and re-load your files.

Right, I do use Ubuntu for adding and removing music from the X3. I didn't think of clicking on show hidden files. I think that will be why is wasn't showing up because it starts with a .
Yes, I did used to have this card in my Android tablet. I will try deleting them sometime soon.
 
Thanks for the help.

Still debating whether to pick up a X3 now or X5 later. Any recommendations?

 

[TrollDragon]

Sort of like should I buy the new 2015 Stingray now or the Z06 later?

I know nothing about cars but aren't they similar?

Very similar,
 
Yes the Stingray will take you around town nice and fast, drop top and all, very nice! (X3)
The Z06 will relocate your eyes to the sides of your head... Want, WANT NOW!! (X5)
Like the X3/X5, cost increases proportionately.

He Guys By mistake I left the X3 charging using the phone charger 5V 1.200 mah .
I thought that nothing happens but I found this on the Fiio Site
 
 
When charging with PC USB: current up to 500mA, charging time about 8hrs.
When charging with 1.5A USB adapter, current up to 1,300mA, charging time about 3hrs.
(except for first batch of X3s, which had current up to 750mA, charging time about 5hrs.
 
 
What happens if mine is the first batch, an it harms the device using an 1200mA changer on a 750mA device max ?
 
Is there any way to identify the First Batch ??
 
 
Thanks !!!

 

[TrollDragon]

It will only draw what it needs from the charger...
No need to worry.
