    Official X7 beta firmware (Android 5.1) download and discussion thread -- FW3.0.6 beta

      Same here. I have around 6600 tracks, and I've got the scan issue. It seems to be localized to a specific genre folder for the most part, but I haven't tested it exhaustively.

    Massdrop Fostex TH-X00 Ebony impressions thread

    I finally received my replacement pair of TH-X00EBs after the first pair I received were broken at the joint between the headband and the left clamp. I went from SN 0044 to 0698, but a low SN isn't worth much to me really, and especially not broken.   The new pair are a darker wood than the...

    Massdrop Fostex TH-X00 Ebony impressions thread

    I'm devastated.   I had my TH-X00EBs shipped to the wrong address because I forgot to change it after I moved. USPS took two weeks to process the forward, and didn't locate and move the shipment along until I called and complained, making the interminable wait for these cans even longer.  ...

    The Closed Wars: MrSpeakers ETHER C vs. Audeze LCD-XC vs. Fostex TH900 vs. MrSpeakers Alpha Prime vs Fostex TH-X00 - Comparison

    I like what I read about the Fostex TH900s, except for the fact that they are said to be leaky. Can anyone recommend a set of closed back phones to me that are similar but have good isolation? It's fine if they're slightly more neutral than the 900s, as long as the bass is comparable.   I was...

    I'm using the same card in my X7 and it works just fine. Perhaps yours was not formatted correctly? Yes please.

      I never said they could or would copy/paste code. In fact I said there's no reason for them to need to do such a thing.   I can't think of a single valid reason to think ReplayGain support isn't coming to the X7 in the near future, or why anyone would wish for it not to come. Therefore I'm...

      Sure, but most of the same could have been said for implementing the feature in the X1/X3/X5. It's slightly different to add it to the X7, but only slightly. And, again, they've already said they are doing it.

      I know all that, but none of that actually contradicts what I said. ReplayGain tag support is, on a functionality level, a matter of instructing the device to read a set of four numbers and adjust the volume according to those parameters. I hardly think porting their work from the other...

    Regardless, it's highly unlikely that they would implement this feature on most of their line and leave out their flagship device, wouldn't you agree? Especially since they have already said on this forum that it's coming to the X7. Hopefully we'll be seeing it with the next firmware revision.

    Is it? Android is an operating system, not a coding platform. Most of its apps are written in Java, but some are written in C/C++. I'm not sure what language is used on the other devices, but it's not likely to be something that would be difficult to port from. But that wasn't really the point...

      Heh, so I take it we're still waiting on this? Shouldn't be long now since the lower-end devices have recently received this feature, I'm guessing?

    I had been playing the X7 in my car using my in-dash USB port, because using this method my in-dash system—which is a Mini based on the BMW iDrive system—would read the ID3 tags from my tracks, whereas via Bluetooth it doesn't.   Prior to FW 1.5, my car was reading the files from the SD card...

    I just bought a new car that has really nice Bluetooth music integration.   When I play a song on my iPhone through the car's stereo via Bluetooth, the screen gives me a really nice display showing artist, album and title info, along with the album art.   When I play a song on the X7 through...

    One minor issue I've run into:   The lock screen transport controls don't operate third party apps like Spotify. If the X7 is locked with a Spotify track playing, I can use the hardware button to pause it. But if I press play on the lock screen, rather than continuing my Spotify track it just...

      This is something I'm strongly interested in as well.   I'm on my third day with my X7 and so far I find its sound fantastic for the price. So lively, detailed, and energetic. I'm really looking forward to hearing this device with something like that new Burr-Brown amp!   Hopefully the...
