I'm glad I found this thread. I just picked up an E17k and was about to buy an E09k. I didn't realize it wasn't compatible.   I'm liking what I'm seeing so far and can't wait to order the K5. Any further updates or perhaps some early sales for us Head-fi'ers? :)

Here's a dumb question. How do you put the player into deep sleep? I keep noticing that my battery life keeps dropping when the player is not in use and despite the display being powered off.   I'm trying to figure out what is causing the battery to drain. Is it because I'm leaving the last...

Count me in as someone else with the EQ off. This is actually the first device I've owned where it sounds better off than on. I've always preferred the Classical EQ or something similar but Flat/Off is perfectly balanced on the X3II for me.

Has anyone heard anything about removing the 5800 song limit on the X3II? It looks like a lot of the other models already have the restriction removed, including the original X3 so it's a little odd for the X3II to have it. I play music through folders but it would be nice to have all of my...

  You can shuffle by going to Play Settings and changing Play mode to the Shuffle icon. From there, you can go to Category, All Songs (or any other options) and will play in shuffle mode. It's very fast too.

Finally pulled the trigger on the FiiO X3. This is my first FiiO device and its replacing an iPod Classic and what an upgrade it is.   I use my DAPs mostly just for listening in the car and while at work and the iPod Classic previously fit the bill. With the battery finally dying and the hard...

One annoyance on the ZXR I'm running into is the Creative AutoUpdate software. It keeps detecting a software update for the card but when you download and install it, it acts like the update has already been installed. If you try repair or reinstall, the next time you go back in to AutoUpdate...

I'll be getting my ZXR today which I'll be pairing with Sennheiser 650s. I had seen that someone said there is an optional volume setting to use to get the most out of the headphone amp. Can anyone shed some light? I've heard Windows set to 25% while your player set to 100%.

Quote: Thanks for the reply. I guess my next question would be with the control module, it has a headphone jack on it. If I used that jack, is it not using the headphone amp? Do you have to use the headphone input on the card itself?

I'm curious as to if anyone can answer this before I pull the trigger on the ZXR.   Right now I have the Creative Z (just regular) and a pair of Sennheiser 590s. They are currently connected to the headphone jack on the Z which supposedly has a decent headphone amp built in. I was looking at...
