The only caution I would have is if the connectors wind up being gold plated plastic, that could crack. The description states gold plating on copper, but in my expereience you might wind up with something different.

  This should be stickied - wonderful summary!   Are the cables on the Atomic Floyd replaceable?   Which picture shows the Elear?   THanks!

    Hi Peter, I'm a brand new FiiO X5 user that has many, many years stuck in iTunes.  I really wanted to just start enjoying my ripped music, so I'm using two micro SD cards, one for the copied, non-protected AAC and MP3 iTunes library and another card that is dedicated to FLAC.  For the...

Hi folks, I know this probably should go in another part of the forum, but the card that a number of you are using with the X5 is on sale at Amazon right now for $60.  It looks like I may be able to have two 128GB cards in my X5 after all :)   Here's the link.  I'm not affiliated with Amazon...

  Thanks yes, I'm wondering if FiiO may be able to change this in F/W.  It's interesting but I seem to remember back about ten years ago a few Head-Fiers had the same question about pairing an iPod Classic with a portable amp like the RSA SR-71 or Hornet via line out and controlling it...

  Ahhh I believe I see, one DAC, one processor, one input controller.  It would probably wind up introducing some noise, anyway.

                        Thanks so much folks, I wound up with the SanDisk 128GB and an existing SanDisk 64GB until I run out of room on the second one; both working fine!   One more question and I searched here and the FiiO forum:   Does anyone know how to use the...

  Thanks so much; I guess for now I'll go with two Samsung 64's until the price slides.

  Hi folks, I'm new to the X5ii and am trying to figure out if Samsung 128 EVO MicroSDs work?  I've done multiple searches, but no one seems to be able to confirm.  I understand that most of you are using SanDisk 64GB MicroSDs, but I'm trying to transition away from larger SanDisk cards as I've...

Hi folks, just a few pictures and content on this wonderful, comfortable and economic line.  I had to work most of the show, but I had time Friday to "indulge" in one of my favorite hobbies; I hope all of you are doing well.  I know Jude was in to sample these cans, so I am sure he is or will be...

That price for the Shure 530's is excellent!  In daily use, and in my case, if the cable will fail (mine had frayed insulation just before the molded connector), they will most likely fail well within the warranty, so you should be in great shape.  So go the SE530's and wait for the 535's to...

That is a great find; thanks for posting. It would be nice if one of the Shure reps could comment ;)

  Quote:   Thank you for these impressions; as a SE530 owner who had to send my set back under warranty and that they are for every day use i will definitely considering a set of these! :)

Hi everyone...quick hello to all the Head-Fi insomniacs My e530 cables just wore out; now I really can't sleep!

All the time, and then I hide in the bathroom: The Conversation: FEXGF: Who are you chatting with? Me: I'm not chatting, I'm posting on head-fi. FEXGF: Is that that online group of geeks? Me: No, they are not geeks, they are normal people. FEXGF: You're a geek. Me: Ok, I'm a...
