Same here! I bought the X5 III and X7 II which are great, but the X5 II is so easy to operate that this is still my daily driver. Love it.

I have bought a Fiio X7 Mark II and it's great - only 'problem' is that the Fiio X5 II is way more convenient (a lot!). I had the same problem with the X5 III. They all sound great and ok you can use Tidal which is great... but to use it as a mobile player, terrible! So yes after purchasing the...

It seems that I can't fix the headphone socket - the line/coax digital out is working fine. Normally I use that for my DAC/AMP (FiiO E12), so I still can use the FiiO X5-II. But without the DAC/AMP I also can use it directly with my headphone (there is a setting to enable the volume on that...

Yes I have (experimented with different headphones). But I will try to clean the contacts - maybe that will solve it.

Yeah that was also my guess. Hopefully it could be repaired. Think I'm going to ask FiiO if they are still repairing these players.

Got a strange problem - when I try to play a song it will play but soon I move the player it will stop playing.You will also hear some strange 'click' in the player itself. I also can't resume the playing. The line-out doesn't have this problem. So when changing the headphone to the line-out...

By default dBpoweramp will embed album art inside each ripped audio file (audio format permitting) and also write a Folder.jpg file to the location of the album. This guide is very handy: https://www.dbpoweramp.com/cd-ripper-setup-guide.htm

I use dBpoweramp and PerfectTUNES (for missing albumart and meta) which unfortunately is not free. Exact Audio Copy is free and is considered the standard for CD/FLAC ripping.

I can confirm that the Aliexpress battery works fine (very well exactly!)

:) No it’s not only you

Maybe not everyone noticed this but the new version of Fidelizer (1.2.5) based on the latest FiiO firmware is relased on the 12th of August. http://www.fidelizer-audio.com/fiio-x5iii-purist-rom-version-1-2-5-released/

Keep in mind that switching from X5 II to an Android device (like the X5 III) is a bit (well maybe huge) of an downgrade in ease of use. I have the X5 III and probably it should sounds better (I really can't tell) but my daily device is still the X5 II because it just works, battery life is...

Well I can only say that it also maybe depends on your player. I was unfortunate that I had a 'inferior' player which I also couldn't overclock to 1.7GHz (more info...

True, Pure Music doesn't work if you install this version. Uninstalling this version restores Pure Music. Also realizing that I asked this question in the custom kernel thread - sorry about that!

I've noticed that FiiO Music App on Google play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fiio.music&hl=en) is 1.1.4. Don't update to this version? Or is it a good idea to use the Google Play version?
