It was nice meeting you @xuan87.  
 
Here is one of the photos taken just now. 
 

My L5 paired with Xuan87's tube amp.

 

Spoiler: Warning: More photos.

 
 

L5 paired with Xuan87's DIY amp. 
 

Xuan87's Astell&Kern paired with my Cayin C5
 

Another toy belonging to Master Xuan87.
 

Dita? Oh yes, it is!  Thanks to Xuan87, I got to see a DITA in the flesh at last. 
 
 

One of the prized possessions of Xuan87.... a custom iem.
 
Please excuse the poor quality of the photos.

The best thing you can right now is to separate your audio files/album into folders(manual playlists) so that songs would not be too hard to find when you have tons of them.

 
 
That's what I do but unfortunately the order will still get messed up as soon as I add new folders/files subsequently.

Hmm, I usually add one album at a time, and they have been keeping the order of last folder = the one i put in last.

If you copy three folders named them something like X, Y, and Z, they would look fine, but say the following day you add three more folders called A,B, and C, then your L5 will show them in the following order:
 
X,Y,Z A, B, C.
 
See what I mean?

 

[JohnYang]

Yes, they are in the order or folder created. The file A, B, C being created (copied) onto the L5 later than file X, Y, Z.
I see people creating folders like playlist, and name them playlist1, playlist2 etc, then put the audio files into the "playlist" folders.

Anyone has compared this to Calyx M?

Here is something to keep the thread alive...
 
L5 is apparently not as big as I thought. Here is a couple of photos taken side-by-side with my 4.7" smartphone.

Xiaomi RedRice?

Xiaomi RedRice?

Here they call it Redmi 2A.  About $120. I think it is very affordable for a 4G LTE dual sim smartphone.

 

[JohnYang]

Yes, L5 is smaller than what the photos look like, it is just a few mm longer than my iphone 4s

Was comparing L5 to L5-SPDIF-Hugo, the difference with IEM is very minimal, surprised me since L5 only cost 1/5 of Hugo.
With headphones there is quite a difference since Hugo has more juices from its amp.

That's good to know. Its older sister LP5 costs about $100 more and supposedly to have a better SQ, so I can't imagine how good SQ of LP5 is.
 
Btw, the album art cover of FLAC files are not showing on L5. Is this the limitation of L5 current FW 1.0.0.4 or a problem on my unit?

 

[JohnYang]

I think L5 currently only has artwork support for mp3, wma, and m4a.
As for LP5, I think the silver should sound rather on the same level as L5 for having similar amp section. But LP5 comes with with a more luxury looking while L5 looks more modern.
The gold LP5 should sound a lot better for the better amp.

The power hungry HE-560 sounded beautiful with a LP5 silver, at max volume. The L5 is good enough for HE-400i level.
