Yikes. Spoke too soon. That only lasted for three minutes. I have a definite problem.

I think over-size album art embedded in the FLACs can cause this problem. HDTracks sometimes put hi-res images in their hires audio.

What Micro SD card´s are you using for it?

I'm using a transcend premium 300x 64mb

I don't think that is the problem. The artwork is only 15kb or 19kb, that seems really small.  There is also a PDF of line notes in the folder.  I'll try removing both just to see what happens, but it seems doubtful at that size.

I've had this exact problem since day 1 and still haven't found a solution yet. I think it does have something to do with the artwork, but what I do is just select the song it skipped and it will usually start playing it properly after 2 or 3 tries. I think a real fix will need to come from FIIO in a future firmware update

I don't think it has anything to do with the artwork. I removed the artwork and the PDF from the folder, and the problem persists. It's either a hardware problem or a firmware problem.

Have you removed the artwork embedded in the FLACs, though?

 

[goldendarko]

Yes I did the same thing but notice how the albums still display artwork when playing? Hdtracks tags it to the individual tracks even if there is no actual file in the folder

Is there a way to do this?

Last night I discovered that my X5is stuttering and jumbling on hi rez 2496 tracks that I downloaded from HD tracks. I confirmed this on three separate folders. It trips up approximately every minute. It is doing just fine on standard 1644. I never noticed with this before, but haven't been playing much Hi-Rez stuff. The battery was at 40%, but it played for quite some time after I noticed this. Anyone have a clue as to what is going on? Should I reboot? I am running firmware 2.0.

Had similar problems with my x3. It always turned out that the files got corrupted while copying over to the sd card. I've also read a few people say they've gotten corrupted downloads from hdtracks as well.

I'm on a Mac, and still using an X3, but I haven't ever had to remove the album art. I just set XLD to reencode FLAC files, resizing the album art as it goes. This seems to work quite well with the few HDTracks files I've managed to buy here in the UK.

You're right. I didn't notice this before. This is still a real problem. Doesn't the X5 come with a coupon for hdtracks? And it's not compatible with hdtracks?

Has anyone noticed that hirez flax files without embedded artwork work fine but not with the artwork?

 

[Peter_S]

Is anyone using hdtracks hirez flac files (24/96) and NOT having this problem?

I have been using tracks from HDTracks both 24/96 and 24/192 with out a problem, microsd card is 128Gb SanDisk.

 

[jorge8]

no problem here. using 64Gb SanDisk.
