FiiO X7 | DXD | DSD | 384K/64B | ESS9018+ Android | WiFi | Bluetooth | 4 AMP modules | Balanced Out |

I've had random pauses with every music app I've tried, in pure music mode, using every amp module (except the am3, which I haven't had very long), using external amp, dac, and combo.

Recently, I haven't had any. I've changed nothing. It's a crazy bug. That being said, hasn't happened in quite sometime.

  I forgot to ask, FiiO! FiiO!
 
Would you guys add support for odd sample rates?
 
I have one at 47.9Hz and it refuses to play, I also have another at 31.7Hz and it won't play either.
Please help.

Hi Sugar,
I will consider your advice in the future~
Nice day.

Sadly, that's correct.  So you currently have two choices:
 
1) Use a player that works.
2) Use the FiiO music app to give you very fractionally better SQ, and learn to live with random stops, crashes, failure to play when hidden system files are present, unreliable gapless playback, volume jump 10 s after plugging in your headphones, buggy scrubbing controls, buggy track name/number display and buggy track-time display.
 
P.S. IMHO, all the above "features" of the FiiO music app are bugs.

No, all apps use the DAC, it is impossible to not, how else will DA conversion happen? Even for apps that do much of the work in the software domain such as Neutron still need to go through the DAC, that is 100% for certain. What is likely the difference is that the other apps are going through the Android music paths as well.

@JaviAI was specifically referring to the ability of the FiiO music app to by-pass the 48 kHz sample-rate limit in the Android OS.

My bad, thanks for the clarification.

I think any other music app can't use the Fiio DAC and bypass the 48KHz android limit. See this three emails:

Incorrect; all apps use the same DAC on the X7.

White Lotus is correct, all apps will use the DAC. The issue of the software and OS re-sampling the file before the DAC sees the bitstream is constantly being confused with the app not using the DAC. Let's say it one more time...... ALL APPS WILL USE THE X7 DAC. You can't bypass the hardware (unless using coaxial out). It's the only thing capable of doing the digital to analogue conversion in the X7. Whether the DAC is being fed a bit-perfect (not re-sampled) bitstream from the app is a different matter.

just wanted to share my little mod to am3 amp. as you know am3 is prone to emi interference (try putting your mobile phone near the am3 and u hear crackling sound).

here i disassemble it and stick up emi absorber sheets 3 layers on all visible black color chips. the result is no more interference and most importantly it sounded way smoother than before and vocal is more presented now. don say me crazy because you can always skip my post.

Is it just the AM3 that's susceptible to EMI? What about the AM5. I have mine on order and hoping no need to mod.

How could we have skipped your post if you only mentioned it at the very end? Lol

Great work! I don't know why but I don't catch interference on my AM3 but now I know how to deal with it, just in case.... Thanks for sharing

Regards
