FiiO X5 1st gen: final firmware update version 2.6 now available--improved scroll wheel and playback reliability
Yes, they've really given themselves and unenviable reputation in the DAP using community.A reputation for be distracted by shiny objects and making only piddling fixes of problems most of us never noticed while willfully resisting fixes for the 900 lb gorillas in the room. I'll spend my money... -

Just gonna run off and leave the firmware half finished on the X5? Not a good way to attract customers to any of your future devices. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.- BubbaBob

Probably never. They're displaying an unfortunate propensity for never finishing firmware before they get distracted by the newest bright, shiny object.- BubbaBob

It's a firmware issue when OTG can't see 4 out of 5 major memory manufacturers' products.- BubbaBob

Just another part of the firmware that they can't be bothered to finish, now that they have a shiny new toy to distract them. I doubt I'll buy another DAP from FiiO. I doubt also that I'll ever recommend that anyone else do so.- BubbaBob

FiiO X5 firmware 2.50 download and discussion
Do you REALLY expect another FW upgrade now that all of their attention is on the MkII? -
Any hope for browsing by Genre -> Album insead of Genre -> Song?
The present version of Genre doesn't please ANYONE. It's totally, and I mean TOTALLY useless. -

My tags are perfectly organized. The only entriy in the Album Artist fields is 'various', where it's appropriate. Foobar works much better this way. I've had an iPod classic for years. The SQ sucks but the GUI is pretty damned good. Its randomization is a sad joke, also.- BubbaBob

The Fiio X5 Thread
As long as it's an OPTION, as I have no desire to go through 22,000 files to enter data into the Album Artist tab. And yes, anyone with more than 8 GB of files is going to have to stick with the folder option for God knows how long because it's become pretty obvious that FiiO just doesn't...- BubbaBob

FiiO X5 firmware 2.50 download and discussion
Yes, but that would be far too scientific for this crowd. It would border on the heresy of ABx testing.
