HYNIX H8BCS0UN0MCR-46M around 4G+2G is seen in the picture here -  but the storage is probably for system data only not for media files.   The new X5 model looks very promising. Again like with X3 model I see no firmware from Fiio to help with restoring if player gets bricked one day. It...

Yesterday I got a solution how to restore a bricked CK4. People who need the info can ask me privately.

Quote: Afraid this is useless. After my CK4 got bricked one day I learned much about the stuff inside. Though the CS4398 DAC can handle up to 24bit/192kHz the master chip can't. Colorfly are smart guys  you can see they use their master chip remarked to MASTER. What is the chip...

rolandmsv, I only wish you never had your player bricked. Believe me, when this happens there's nothing to laugh.

Quote: Telling this again. After copy+paste procedure and later, when player is disconnected from a PC the sign 'Media Library Update' can normally be seen. It depends on the the CPU and the firmware though. When only few files are added it is not seen. The proces is going fast. To make...

Guys, pls, don't be so hard on me. I'm a Chinese DAP lover, actually. And I'm keen on some devices. And I'm using some of them almost every day. I mean reliable ones. But dislike unreliable ones. Hope you understand. You asked what latest devices i got bricked and how - let me tell you...

Quote: Just any product or a player? Or maybe exactly an Ingenic Z4760 CPU player from Fiio? А player / a DAC / a headphone amplifier they are all different class devices. Some of them don't trouble you since they don't need a firmware. Sure, a player is the most complex and...

Quote: You must be joking Sure a user doesn't want to brick players like this by just doing some risky actions. But the truth is one day a user wants to add some files to his player. This is certainly naturally. And a player like this tries to do Media Library Update automatically...

Quote:   Sure. But my questions weren't about the service. They were about reliability of the device. About the firmware recovery. Not about where those 'kind people' are when my product purchased is suddenly gets bricked. Least of all I'm intended to buy a product that can't be recovered.

Quote:   That's easy to understand why I'm worried if you have a closer look. Have never seen a PC Suite (Recovery / Update) for Ingenic CPU based devices. Have you? From the manufacturer we can only see X3 is possible to be upgrated from a SD Card. No solution to be recovered if it...

Official FiiO dealer for my country? ... They look out of question for Fiio X3 at all... And my question was not where I have to send something back. I don't want to send anything back. I want a reliable device. Not just something to send there or overthere.

Quote: JamesFiiO, I didn't mean RockChip CPU based devices are ideal. But I mean they are most stable firmware and easy to recover players if they are ocassionaly bricked. Recover with just your PC. What I'm afraid (say I purchase a Fiio X3) is that I know I can't ever recover Fiio X3...

Dear JamesFiiO,   I have some serious questions to you and to the FiiO engineering staff also. Have to say I'm an international customer who has tried many of (Chinese by origin) portable players. RockChip / BoxChip (AllWinner) CPU based. And even more. Also once had a player by...
