    DoP is now working fine with my Chord Hugo, no more downsampling. Also the search is working well and playing tracks in album order. All is looking good for me so far.

    Depends on the definition of stable. I suppose you could say that the current FW is stable in that it doesn't crash the system etc. I think my concern is the missing functionality I.e: - a decent search engine that allows albums to be played in the correct track order - the ability to use music...

    None of the issues I have consistently reported have been addressed in this or any other FW3.xx beta. I note the prominence you have given the launch of the X5III and the promise to launch it to a global market within one month with stable Android 5.1 FW. I am sure we as owners of your so called...

    On this occasion my X7 would not upgrade using the external SD card, but did so once the .zip file was loaded on to the internal SD (BTW please correct the typo CANCLE to CANCEL). The updated default black theme is good, at last the font on the search screen is legible.  The search function is...

    Hi James, Many thanks for the details above and the way in which you the company is moving forward.  There is no doubt in my mind that the beta software versions are getting better with each release.  As you have noted Android is a complex OS and needs to be compatible with many systems and...

    Perhaps you would be good enough to at least acknowledge the problems we are reporting, for example: the illegible search box, DSD down-sampled, Amazon Music not streaming etc, not to mention the unplayable WMA track I sent to you and which you also found would not play, although they play...

    I absolutely agree, some FiiO comment is really expected. There is no meaningful FiiO posting on here or on the official FiiO.net forum where not even a blatant advertisement for iPhone 6s cases is challenged by the moderators. We seemed to have moved a long way from the days when insightful and...

    Here is a repeat of my post on the FiiO forum: Here are some notes on 3.08beta.  All testing carried out using a SanDisk 200GB microSD and coax output to Chord Hugo or by bluetooth aptX to Chord QBD76 DAC: - Scanning quickly creates a library of 6709 tracks - With the "Resume" option selected...

    Are dad/dsf files playing at the correct sample rate in Neutron? They either don't play in FiiO music or are downsampled when output through coax to an external DAC.

    This is also a problem again in v3.07beta, it was fixed in previous beta versions. The coax output to my Chord Hugo is down-sampled and will not play .dsf files at all. However for me the good news is that Bluetooth aptx is working very well with my Chord Hugo and QBD 76. The SQ is excellent and...

    Could you please tell me which version of Amazon Music you are using. Is it app version 6.0.4?

    According to the colour display on my Chord Hugo the X7 is playing tracks at the correct sampling rates.

    Yes I get the same error.

    Yes it will play purchased music, or music downloaded, it will not stream music from Prime Browse which works perfectly in FW2.0. I do not have any BT headphones so unable to confirm they connect.
