Just wanted to jump in & say I ordered the E12A as soon as I heard about the Muses. I love my E12DIY but it doesn't come with the Muse opamps & I didn't want to take the chance of getting 'fake' ones, plus the E12A isn't priced that much over what buying 2 new Muses would be. Micca was selling...

Does anyone know if there's a way to use the OTG function on the X5 to, say, access a flash drive while at the same time charging the X5? I've seen a very few cables that purport to allow this for certain Sony & Samsung models but I haven't seen anything for just a generic micro-USB port. The...

While I loved the sound of the E18, the X5 is a big step up in audio quality, plus it's a DAP while the E18 is only a DAC. I always liked the sound of the E18, so I was excited when I read that FIIO was going with dual 'Burr Brown' DAC chips in the X5. They also did a significant upgrade in both...

There are bars for the battery level?  Geez, now I'm going to have to get out ye olde magnifying glass and check out what's on the screen...   I guess that means I'm going to have to put my 'vote' in for user-selectable Font size so that people with bad eyesight can make whatever is shown on...

This was posted 3 days ago, but I'm a bit behind in checking all the posts in this thread. I just wanted to comment because I'd wondered the same thing about some of the slightly negative comments posted by people immediately after receiving the X5. I'd wondered if the X5 simply needed burn-in...

I finally got an answer to my posted question but I'm not going to post it since I got no input from anyone about this most basic question. I finally talked to somebody knowledgable about audio (and he even asked if I spent a lot of time on Headfi based on my question!) & was steered towards the...

For the people commenting on the X5's sound after only a few hours of listening, is it possible that you just need to let the player burn-in? I've experienced this most recently with the DX50. The DX50 sounded really 'thin' at first but the sound improved after several day's of play. It still...

The sound signature is different for all of those amps. I have the E11, E17, & E12DIY. IMO the sound is E12DIY> E17>E11. I was really disappointed with the E11's sound. But that's just my opinion. The different amps have different combinations of opamps and buffers in them which contribute to a...

Does anyone know if the X5 has OTG functionality? I think that FIIO says something about OTG but I haven't been able to find any posts about anyone using OTG to connect to a flash drive or whatever. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what FIIO meant about OTG, but the ibasso DX50 has OTG and I can...

I have to correct my previous post about B&H's ad showing the X5 shipping on Thursday. I checked their site and they're back to listing the X5 as simply on pre-order. I guess I made another assumption that Thursday meant THIS Thursday... I guess it means just that it will ship on a Thursday...

If that's not personal, I'd hate to see your posts when you do decide to go personal :)  As for the so-called smear, I'd think that most people reading my posts here can recognize the difference between reporting negative facts & lashing out in a negative fashion. I'm only trying to help other...

 You should contact FIIO's tech support. They're very helpful & can answer your questions. The W1 is a nice product. I've seen them still for sale at a few places but nobody seems to be talking about them much.

No need to get personal, please. I've only posted what B&H told me. I placed my preorder with them because I read about it here on headfi. I believe other people should know what B&H has told me about their delivery date. Now if you are trying to imply that the other companies such as MP4nation...

B&H has had the X5 advertised for preorder since at least March 1. As of April 2, when I chatted with a B&H rep, they have absolutely NO date for receipt of the product. I would strongly suggest if you are in a hurry to get the X5, go with a company that is actually going to receive a shipment...

  The "Buyer Beware" refers more to the fact that B&H advertised and took money for the preorder of an item which they don't have any known delivery date for. They were the only ones taking preorders back on March 1 & I foolishly assumed that this meant they were going to be receiving the X5's...
