I prefer the black silicone case...the plastic one doesn't look like it would protect it nearly as well.

I like the silicon one too. I just need to find a good way to cut a hole for the sd card. Snaking it out of that case to get the sd card out is not too fun.

Would be good if Fiio made the HS7 hard case sized for X3K. It is just too big for it, but still better than nothing.

I use the hs7. It is big, but it is the perfect size when I leave my USB otg adapter connected. So that worked out nice.

I suppose you could cut a slit in it with a sharp knife...I'd end up wrecking the case so I wouldn't try it but if your handy...

I have been thinking about breaking that x-acto knife set out...

That might do it. Tricky lining it up where the slot is though..

Just put something solid inside and cut. Nobody is going to get it perfect (well maybe a couple will) but it will be worth the slight ugliness.

Wrong. It would be a good idea to post it because we will try and do it ourselves whether you post the instructions or not so either we do it with help or without help.

"oh no instructions, I guess im going to go pay someone to install it" - NOT what I would be thinking lol

more like "welp, here goes nothing"

I can imagine people fiddling around even if they don't have an issue with their battery. My opinion is that FiiO is smart to deliver instructions with a new battery when it's needed, not for just anyone to have. That doesn't mean I think you need to pay anyone to do it if you're handy.

Of course you may have a different opinion. This is mine.

Just purchased a Cayin C5 amp, to go with my X3ii. The amp comes with your standard 3.5-3.5mm cable. Would I gain anything by stepping up to the "nicer" FiiO L16 cable? I know this is kind of a subjective subject, but any insight would be appreciated.

It's a nice well built cable, but I couldn't notice any difference in sound between it and the cables that came with my amps.
Something to consider as an option is one of those JDS lab shorties. Esp. if you're going to be stacking.

To anyone with the Dignis case that hasn't figured this out yet.  The easiest way to get the X3II out of the case is to use the plugged in USB cable to push it through the top of the case and remove it.  I haven't figured out another way that is any better than this.  Good luck!!

Take a look at this one: http://ghentaudio.com/part/d01.html (Canare L-2B2AT) 1ft = $10
 
or this one: http://ghentaudio.com/part/d11.html (Canare L-4E6S) - 1ft = $12
 
Extremely high quality and both are very affordable.  The only downside is the wait on the shipping.  High quality cable gains are always up for debate, but these are worth the small cost IMO (if you are looking at aftermarket cables that is).

Is there a shortcut to quickly open the EQ?

 

[Brooko]

Nope.  Suggested it to Joe and James though - so hopefully in an upcoming firmware (at some stage)

 

[Prognathous]

I'd suggest the following shortcut for the EQ - hold center Play button while clicking the Back button.
 
In fact, there are many other shortcusts possible with a scheme of clicking one button while holding another. Some other functions which could benefit from shortcuts: Delete song, Gain On/Off,  Add to Favorites

 

[x RELIC x]

I suggest adding it to the Now Playing shortcut menu.

Yep - that's what I suggested to Joe.
 
I should actually have a look at the firmware though.  I wonder if there is a way to do it ourselves .......
