I am either getting some new headphones for my Colorfly C3, probably some Sennheiser or Sony, but for the same price I can get a Fiio X3. I am a listener of metal, classic and jazz and like a bass heavy but balanced sound and was wondering if the Fiio X3 can give me that. I am currently using...

FiiO X3 Review   Thanks to Advanced MP3 Player's (AMP3) for the loan.       First Impressions:  I note in the box there is a big red card that tells you to go update the firmware, then to go to head-fi.  So firmware duly updated to 2.05 and I think I may just skip the going to the...

As the title said, I received a new X3 today and Man, am I confused.  I hope someone can answer a few questions.   I have installed a 64GB card.  The X3 though, says there is no space available on it.    Does anybody know how to initiate the FW update.  I have the download on the SD card.  ...

I've heard that Amps used with the Amperiors are unnecessary since these senns have a lower impedence. In your opinion, is the Fiio X3 worth the upgrade from the sansa clip zip?

After my Sansa clip+ broke (headphone jack problem) I'm now left with an old Philips MP3 player to listen to my music on whilst travelling. I'm after something relatively cheap, I don't have a figure but I guess <£100 for now but we'll see.   The thing I loved about the clip+ when rockboxed...

I'm searching for a new pair of my "perfect" in ears for quite some time now and since I have IE80 that still work flawlessly I'm not in that much of a hurry but I want to be ready when the times come which is now sooner and sooner.    Not sure how to completely describe the sound I like but...

Hi to everyone :) I have bought a Martin Logan Mikros 90, and the sound is incredible in my opinion. The Sansa Clip+ that I have, seems a bit poor in body for the Martin, anche I need to high up the volume too much!! Can you suggest me a new DAP that can easily drive the ML and that would be...

Hi everyone,   I am using HTC One and Sennheiser ie80 now. I am looking for a dap/dac+amp which I can use connected to my laptop and carry it outside. Should I get a Fiio E18/iBasso D42 which can be connected to my phone and laptop or a Fiio x3 which can be used as a usb dac? My budget is...

[Message was posted in the base area while I thought it was going to the X3 area.]  Deleted.

sorry folks, I clicked on start new thread instead of post reply.  Am I the only one who wants to start a new thread in an area of the forum?

What do you say?

I'm searching for a Dap with warm sound signature but also with touch and stable UI.   My experience until now:   Ipod touch 4g: good impact and detail but with soundstage too compressed; also little too bright for me. Samsung s3: less detail and sometimes with grain treble, but with...

Hi, as the title suggests im looking for a amp/dac combo under 200$ that i can use with sansa clip zip and AKG 545 , ill also be using this with my laptop.I took a look at the fiio X3 which looked really good for portable use , but can it function as a amp/dac for my pc as well? Also thoughts on...

hi all, i'm new to head fi, i'm planning to upgrade my portable rig, currently my dap is fiio x3, but i have read many review that gives thumbs up to CLAS which really tempted me to buy an ipod classic and CLAS -r to replace my x3 since i have alo audio rx3 mk-b+ which is great companion of the...

hello guys   I am wondering if I would benefiting from adding the ifi dsd nano to my gear ( fiio x3 + ifi ican nano )   what would I benefit   I want to use it with my Mad dog pro headphones, and also in my car    I have in my car a dsp with optical input 

hey guys, what's the best headphone(full-size) for a hip-hop lover under 200 dollars? my player is fiio x3. personally i think akg k 272 hd is fine, what do you recommend? thank you so much for your support. (and sorry for my English, it's my second language)

I have the Fiio X3 along with the Re-400s. I think these might be a little to similar in sound signature - both warm with modest only sound stage - and so I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations on IEMs that would give the X3 a little more space and not make it quite so warm.    I...

  Hello all together,   i am a new FiiO X3 and i really like it !!! ...is a really nice Hardware and the Software will also :)   The last two days a read a lot threads about it and for the moment theres is only one stupid questions left:   Which idtag i have to set, to get my flac...

http://www.fiio.com.cn/cn/news/index.aspx   As James says in http://www.head-fi.org/t/681927/reply-to-some-bugs-of-x3-s-new-firmware-and-new-function-suggestions-from-our-end-users , the USB DAC function has been added to FiiO X3! This is the world's first portable player which support this...

I know that's a common question, but with a maximum of 300€ what's the best?

I'm a bit ignorant to portable market gear.  I'm wondering what would work well with a Droid Bionic, although I plan on upgrading in a few months (probably to one of the new motorolas), the same time frame in which I'll actually be getting this dac/amp.   Westone W4Rs are my current portable...

Hi guys   I want a DAP with large capacity for around $300. I was thinking of getting the ibasso DX50 but I've been reading about it's dodgy UI. I don't know if they have been fixed yet.My other choice is an iPod classic. I would prefer the DX50 since it's compatible with SDHC cards (128 gb?)...

Hi Head-Fi'er's, Any Torontonians know where one can buy a Fiio X3 in the GTA?

I have been loyal to Cowon (X5L - still working) and 32GB S9 - because I like the BBE sound enhancement.   I also have UE TripleFI-10 IEMs and (don't laugh) Bose Quietcomfort 15 - I'm not a high end audiophile, but I appreciate midrange kit.   Now, my S9 is showing its age and I only have...
