"I cannot believe somebody voted against rockboxing the Xduoo Xj3. What a sad world we are in. What sad people are our there."     I totally agree, some people have no compassion or sense of perspective; the Xduoo X3 without Rockbox is the by far the greatest threat to humanity. I thought...

  Those words epitomise the way this thread is going  

And, XDuoo knew their design decisions would result in a compromise. However, I still don't believe that most of the people who are complaining would have become aware had the issue not been pointed out.   It is unfair to describe the X3 as a "duff 44.1k player".

The X3 does not have any internal user memory....  you already know that..

no, but I rarely use the case. Some may find these buttons convenient but I never use the EQ and see no reason to change SRC once the preferred setting has been found but it's very easy to accidentally change these without noticing.
