Hi Vox*, Haven't benched or done anything crazy (yet), and no mining either, in the future perhaps. At idle, I'm "cool" with the result:

Updated Look: Moved around stuff coz I installed an active backplate on my 3090 (GPU)

No mate, you don't have to, I OTA upgraded my rooted dp-x1 firmware a few hour ago. So far, so good. Might try to re-root it tomorrow.

I like the Westone house sound, I own both W4R (now with the wife), and the W60s. My W60s developed problem on the left earpiece overtime. It broke loose and nearly lost it for the nth times, I was able to find/get it back. The last time it happened, I was not fortunate enough. I now left with...

  Hey Skep*, From my extensive use of the W4R, I'm glad to say, to my ears, I hear/heard none...NO hiss at all.

  Note 4(N910H)+W4R sounds great with PowerAmp with or w/o V4a. Now I had to put the Fiio X3 to force retirement! Hey Live1, this issue initially bugged me for a while using the Poweramp. Though I'm not really sure what I did to fix it, but if you use PowerAmp, try to disable/tinker with the...

No worries there...as I've said I have multiple external backups. I'm just after RAID 0 performance. If it fails so be it!

I do store my multimedia files (music/video/photo) in my QNAP 470 pro + 4x4TB (RAID 0), and 2 x LACIE Porsche  4TB for backups. 

  Yep, it's just water!   I forgot mine inside my pocket and it survived a battery tests from our washer and dryer!

UI is everything in almost all applications - I completely aware of this 'cause am was once a software developer/programmer myself. In DAP, UI is as important as the SQ. Actually it's not a limitation of X3, the FW 2.X, under Category, the play by Artist, Album and Genre works as it should. Come...

Why on the X3's FW 3.0,  playing music by category->artist/album doesn't work as it should be?!  Why is it that when I select my preferred artist, it jumps to that artist's folder instead of starts playing all the songs of the selected artist (it seems Fiio cannot write a simple/sensible UI that...

I had my X3 for a while now and am loving it so far!   For a future firmware release(s) (if such thing happens), I want see fixes for the little bugs (freezes) that happens once in awhile. Also, for my wishlist-feature wise, I would love Fiio to  implement some kind of cross fade (fade-in and...

  It's paradise out there...Red!
