  Thanks James, I will still be watching for the X5iii but if something else comes along I like I will get it. As I say I'm not in a big hurry.

 
the problem should be solve in short time and sorry for the delay.

Any USA shops have this in stock?

Gramophone has this on their X5 III page today:

Our first shipment of X5s has sold out. We anticipate receiving a second shipment early next week (3/6-3/10) and will fulfill all new pre-orders at that time.

My order from them has reached my local USPS office, it should be in my mailbox when I get home from the office tomorrow.

  Does anyone know at this point if it is better to format the cards as Fat32 or NTFS.    In the past fiio has recommended Fat32 just wondering if that is still the case.
 
Thanks
Mike

I haven't seen anything to the contrary. Still FAT32 for SD cards 32GB and below. EXFAT above 32GB.
 
Cheers... Brian

Someone mentioned Viper was available in Pure Music Mode. I do not see it anywhere, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is only accessible in Android Mode.

PinkyPowers, 
 
Did you find the Viper in Android Mode successfully ? 
 
Viper is available in the Pure Music mode.
 

 
 
Thanks,

just press setting on the top-left corner of the homescreen on pure music mode then scroll down then you can find it

As for Viper, main issue for me not it's price. It's pretty inconvenient payment model. To pay you have to use PayPal, so it's a multi-step task:
- activate necessary effect, select PayPal, wait about 5 seconds
- scan appeared QR code with smartphone (yep, you'll need a smartphone for that) and go to PayPal site
- enter password there (luckily I have 1Password, but without it, it would be a pain in the …)
- repeat for each separate effect

And now, surprise. I'm using Fiio X7 too, so, I'm not only having to pay twice (and may be more, if new players will come out), but I have to repeat those annoying steps more and more times.
Actually, Viper effects are really good, and I like some of them with particular tracks, but I'd luckily pay $10 more for DAP, but avoid all that ridiculous movements.
And definitely I'd like to activate them for all my devices via single "lifetime" purchase, as it usually done for mobile apps.

Cleg,
 
Regarding the payment model, we will report your feedback for Viper ,and then we will discuss with them to find another better payment way or not.

Why not through play store?

  So if you don't actually shut down does the X5 act just like a phone in standby using minimal power? Is the blue light meant to be on all the time?
 
Also @FiiO
 
Any feedback on the wireless remote controls not working which I posted on here yesterday & sent you a PM ?

 
psikey , 
 
yep, when you stop playing music, after 20s, X5 3rd gen will like a phone in standby using minimal power, and the blue is on all the time.
 
For the wired remoted function issue, we have reported to the engineers and will try our best to improve it in coming the firmware in the future.
 
The X5 3rd gen supports the in-line remote control of the Apple-compatible CTIA standard: http://fiio.me/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=41963

This is where the confusion lies. I didn't know there were two DIFFERENT settings screens. I was accessing Settings from the top drop down menu. There are WAY more interesting settings from the homescreen menu. Thanks for that!

EDIT: whoops sorry @PinkyPowers .. i was too late to answer.

That's some righteous wisdom.
