there is a brief mute between tracks that is very distracting for classical and live concerts

Please stop generalising and posting such things, when you don´t own the gear. The post itself is over 2 months old, and I have never heard any gaps with my AK300.

personally heard the gap at an in-store dem of the AK jnr just yesterday, if they didn't update the fw, then it's on the reseller.

and i was asking a question about the x5-3 and James seemed unclear of what i meant.

and this wasn't the only time gapless really meant short gap.

just confirmed with our engineer that there are about 0ms gap in the new firmware, also now the X5III only supports gapless in WAV, FLAC, APE, ALAC

I sincerely have a doubt in this case then.
If I have an earphone which ends with a 3.5mm jack, is it possible to attach a 2.5mm adapter or requisite cable to use the balanced output port of Fiio X5 3rd gen?
Or what would I need to used my 3.5mm jack with the balanced output?

Are you looking for a 3.5mm TRRS or a 3.5mm TRS? If you're planning to run a single-ended headphone with a 3.5mm TRS from the balanced output then you're going to end up damaging your gear.

I'm really liking the look of this DAP...The display seems much larger (More readable for those of us with aging eyes).
 
This may be the Fiio upgrade for my X3 (1st gen)
 
I'm looking forward to the reviews...

An adapter going from single-ended to balanced will cause the negative signals to short together, and this has been known to damage balanced amps and DACs.

You must re-terminate to balanced or buy/build a balanced cable.

An adapter is a no-go.

The reverse is completely okay. You can use an adapter to go from balanced to single-ended without issue.
