Instructions regarding the installation of USB DAC driver:
1. Upgrade the X3 1st gen's firmware to version beyond FW2.05 as follows:
Copy the “x3.fw”file provided by FiiO to the root directory of a TF (microSD) card formatted in FAT32 and insert the card into the X3.
With the X3 powered off, hold down both the menu and power on buttons until the upgrade via TF dialog shows up on the screen.
When the progress bar to the upgrade is completed, the player will restart automatically.
Precaution: The TF (microSD) card should preferably be 32GB or smaller, and be a blank card formatted in FAT32.
Please ensure the X3's battery is sufficiently charged (preferably fully charged) to prevent failure during the upgrade.
Please do not touch the player's buttons while the upgrade is in progress. If the upgrade fails the first time,
please hold the power button for over 10 seconds to perform recovery, and repeat the actions described in this
step (1) to complete the upgrade. After upgrade is complete, please refresh the songs database.
Use the default installation path and click Install
