See Edit and Solution at Bottom of post. Hey guys, Apologies if a similar thread has been posted. Didn't see one. My situation may be somewhat unique. Looking for some help. I have the Acoustic Research AR M20 DAP. For those familiar with the DAP, a (major) omission, in my opinion is...

I just got my Fiio X7 in the mail today.  Once again, Fiio does not disappoint.  I have the X1, X3 (2nd gen) and X5 (first gen) models as well, and a handful of their portable amps.   I love the X7.  Previous to it, I purchased the Pioneer XDP-100R.  Comparing these two initially, although the...

I don't use high quality headphones by any means.  I don't have the money to shell out on something like that (half of the reason I buy these DAPs is simply for aesthetic looks..). But I will tell you that I've listened with regular apple earpods, and I have a pair of Shure SE215's, and a...

I am thoroughly impressed with my unit.  I just received it in the mail today.  I ordered mine on December 22nd through PriceJapan, and though initially they forgot to ship my unit out, they refunded my shipping costs as an apology, and they ended up shipping it on the 29th.  I live in Canada...

Just received my DX90 in the mail yesterday.  Love this thing!  I was recently using my X5, so the touchscreen is an interesting change.  Going to have to get used to navigating it as quickly as I did with my X5.  Shouldn't take too long.   I'm loving it so far.  :)

Hah, I love the look of it.  I literally JUST bought my DX90.  Came in the mail yesterday morning.   Kind of late to the game.  I love it though.  Up until now, I've been using my X5, and with all of the rave comments I've been hearing about the DX90, I needed to try it out. So far, no...

Just updated to the latest firmware. It pretty much has everything I've asked for in the past... At one point or another. I love it

Thanks for the replies everyone!  My X5 does turn off after a few minutes of inactivity, I've set it that way, however, this only works when the music is paused.  So, if the music stays paused for an extended time, it will power off.  However, usually in my case, I just put my X5 down, simply...

I have a feature request:   When my X1 is on, the little green indicator light on the bottom stays on.  This is great because I never forget to turn my X1 off.   I can't even count how many times I've left my X5 on, because the screen went to sleep, but music is still playing.  My E12...

Hi Joe,   I've experienced the same problems as mentioned above.  On first boot, the X5 crashed on the language selection screen.  I booted it up again, and all seemed well.  On a library scan, it seemed to correctly index all of my files, however that loading pinwheel was still active even...

  @wmedrz I'll definitely take that into consideration.  I've heard from others that the DX90 simply doesn't need an amp in most cases.  When I get one (it's only a matter of time... :P ) I'll definitely keep you in mind, and do a thorough A/B comparison, and my impressions of the two.    ...

I am so close to pulling the trigger, and buying myself a DX90.  I have a question though... Do people usually pair it with a headphone amp?  I haven't seen any pictures of this, usually its just the DX90 on its own.   Currently, I have a FiiO X5, paired with FiiO's E12 amp, and I bought...

Welcome to the family...  P.S.  I apologize for the crappy photo quality.  Took this in a hurry.   Left:  FiiO X1 w/ FiiO E11K Amp Centre:  iPod Classic,6G, w/ FiiO E07K Amp / DAC & LOD Cable Right:  FiiO X5, w/ FiiO E12 Amp & HS6 Stacking Kit  

So here's an update on the Meenova situation, and I sort of think it should be a warning to everyone going down this road:   WARNING: The 2nd Generation Meenova MicroSD OTG reader, dubbed the "Dash Micro" does not seem to work with the FiiO X5 (Your mileage may vary... :P )  The original...

I'll definitely consider getting in touch with them ASAP.  Another thing that may cause the issue..... you mentioned you ordered the Meenova when it first came out?  Apparently that generation of readers has been discontinued.   What I have is the new generation, called the "Dash Micro," still...

Sorry for the double post, but I have another question!   I just received my Meenova in the mail, and tried it out.  My X5 doesn't seem to be recognizing any music on the card.  My Mac and PC both recognize the card though, and it is formatted to FAT32.   Placing the card in one of the...

Thanks!  I'll try it out

May seem like a stupid question, but when making a playlist, you point the files to either "TF1:\" or "TF2:\"  depending on where the source audio file is, correct?     That's how I've been doing it so far, and it's worked... But what if the files are on a microSD card connected via OTG?  ...

I wasn't exactly sure where to put this, so maybe someone can help me out.    I've very recently become a member of head-fi, and started to dive into the world of headphone amps / DACs, and portable setups.  I am a fiend for anything considered "portable," and I love collecting any new tech...

I agree with you.  The X5 does need a better UI.  I'm happy with the player, but when I first got it, I was on the fence about returning it, simply for the reason that it wasn't very visually appealing when using the device.  I have a perfectly good and working iPod Classic, 160 GB, why would I...

ReplayGain would definitely be useful, I agree.  I completely forgot about last.fm scrobbling lists! That would be useful as well.  The scrobbler takes the playes from my iPod Classic automatically when I plug it into my PC or Mac, so I guess I forgot about the implementation of the feature.  ...

I would also like a request thread for future firmwares.  Here is what I've come up with for updates:   1.  Since I assume a lot of us here would have many audio files in their library, after continuous wheel-scrolling, can a "jump-to-letter" function be activated? (Similar to an iPod Classic...

I just bought my X5 yesterday, and maybe it's just me, but there's one thing I noticed, that maybe someone else has experienced?   I have 2 separate 64GB Micro SD Cards, and I have artists A- K on one, and L - Z on the other. Weirdly enough, when I browse for music by category, it only...

  Yep, I use the L9 cable that Fiio sells, connecting to the pins at the bottom of the iPod

Hi all,   I would consider myself a noob audiophile who recently just got interested in the subject of true high quality audio.  I don't know how I came across the topic of headphone amps, but I just remember clicking random videos in the "suggested" bar on YouTube.   I have a HUGE...
