how big is the difference between them? I am currently using FIIO X5ii but I am not very impressed with the sound...Hopefully it is a massive upgrade

Thank you, James!
This is reassuring to hear since the large voltage swing of X5ii is one of it's really great features!
What did you dislike on X5ii? I found it amazing, if not the best standalone DAP I have ever laid my paws upon
If you're looking for a smooth signature, either X3ii or X7 might suit a smooth preference

I don't find the UI very user-friendly. Also I always feel like the sound coming out from x5ii is a bit dull, maybe I am getting used SONY signature (been using sony mp3/4 for 5 years)
But let's see people's review and decide on this new amp. Look way better IMO

The more I read up on this player, the more eager I am to hear it. On paper, the X5iii is quite the achievement. Well-done, FiiO!

Sony DAPs tend to have DSP and other effects altering the sound, unless you deliberately switch them all off (which many people don't).

I'm torn right now. I recently got my hands on a FiiO X5 gen 2, and I don't know if I should keep it, or return it for the 3rd gen...Ah the decisions. I don't really need a touchscreen or wifi, but bluetooth wouldn't be bad (though I don't really need it either tbh). I'm wondering if the DAC is a big enough improvement to warrant a return of the 2nd gen.

Haven't heard one yet so I cannot say anything about this.
But the neutral and tight sound of X5ii was the magic of it. Tight
