Hey guys, I am looking for a nice DAP which will be sold in EU, can be found in EU so no need to buy it online and have trouble with custom taxes etc etc. Do you think it is worth waiting for this one? What is the estimated price for EU? So far so good, I like what I am seeing, but still wanted to get head-fiers opinions.
 
Ps: No time, I couldn't read 20 pages of posts, sorry if the questions have already answers.
 
EDIT: How powerful it is going to be? For example 300 ohm headphones would need additional amp?
 
Thanks in advance, Fiio can really end my long lasting DAP search. In EU, our access to most Chinese products are quite limited due to shipping and custom taxes. Fiio is working internationally and making wonderful things. So why not?

The first post. Please read the first post.

Ok, my bad guys, I was over excited about the news and directly jumped. Should have read it before. Yeah I took my time, read quite a lot, didn't write my lab. report but it was worth it. I believe I don't need to search for DAP anymore. I have answers to my questions and waiting for Fiio to release it. I was even considering E12 with it but it really doesn't need it I guess. As soon as they put it officially in here, I am getting one.

Pardon the brief derail....^ Panda man, that is the funniest avatar I've ever seen on here.
 
Can't wait to try one of these - Fiio has distribution in Vietnam. Now how will I convince my wife that I really should have one of these...

Your comment has been relayed to my Avatar designer, good friend, and Head-fi Extraordinaire, WARREN!

Ooh, I wouldn't mind designing a Neil Diamond album cover, that'd be pretty cool.  I've only done three album covers before, and they were pretty different (genre-wise) from Neil.

One of the key questions for me is how it will sound in comparison with HM 601 for example... what will be the tone of the sound- warm lke in HM or neutral or something else. Will it be a well deatailed sound pleasant for listening etc. Basing only on tech spec this question is utopia. Waiting for some reviews or impressions (hope they will happen some day)

i was dreaming of (at least) a second sd slot. today everyone has archives with min. 100gb+

 buy a 128gb sdxc  if space is that important,  if it supports 64 then 128  formatted fat32  should work

As long as the 128gb SDXC card doesn't have the new pin configuration it'll work. They seem to have some trickling out now,...

Leave the lossless files at home on the PC. Problem solved.

LOL we used to have to turn each record over every twenty minutes, and now people find it a chore to swap 64gb memory cards.

Not the best source I know... but according to Wiki you are correct.
 
"SDXC host devices accept all previous families of SD memory cards.^[27] Conversely, SDHC host devices accept SDXC cards that follow Version 3.0, since the interface is identical,^[3] but the following issues may affect usability:

1. SDXC cards are pre-formatted with Microsoft's proprietary and patented exFAT file system, which the host device might not support. Since Microsoft does not publish the specifications of exFAT and its use requires a non-free license, many alternative or older operating systems do not support exFAT for technical or legal reasons. The use of exFAT on some SDXC cards may render SDXC unsuitable as a universal exchange medium, as an SDXC card that uses exFAT would not be usable in all host devices. Since the FAT32 file system supports volumes up to the SDXC's maximum theoretical capacity of 2 TB as well, a user could reformat an SDXC card to use FAT32 for greater portability between computers (see below). FAT32-formatted SDXC cards can be used in a host device built for SDHC if the host device can handle 64 GB and larger volumes."

 

 

If this is true that is fantastic news... maybe James (Fiio) can test and confirm 128GB + SDXC compatability with the X3?
