Hi, And thank you. This is what I tried to say: if you have a simple setup with local stored musicfiles up to 24-192 (oldschool hires :wink:) and you'd like to play these with foobar or jriver on windows or any player linux the Gustard U16 as normal as delivered is a best buy and reliable and...

Hi, To those lowfi-heads and other interested out there like me whom use only oldschool highres files (max. 24-192) stored at home (no streaming) and connect the DDC with a good spdif coax to their DACs: The Gustard U16 plays without any problems just fine and 100% reliable. The 'MUSIC' which...

  Completely agree, but this will happen only if Fiio is willing to see, accept and use the elementary relations between firmware and sq...

  This is of course a big problem. But the fact, that a confirmation bias exists means not, that there are no differences between the versions, right? And there are also many users, who hear no differeces (and influence others to hear nothing?!)... ;) I could tell you a lot about my...

Jupp, these two things are real problems: the player doesnt stop after finishing an album and in my case the otg-function doesnt work... Now it would be easy to say: just wait for the next beta, the problems will be solved there. This may be true, but what is about the sound in the next...

Yes, I did. In general I use the folder navigation. Here the device tells me, that the external USB stick isnt there anymore, but it is. When I restart the X5 or putting in the USB stick again, everything is okay and maybe its possible to play an album. But when I try to switch to another...

Unfortunately I have to say, that the OTG-function doesnt work well; the player says "no music files" on almost every folder...

  Thank god, I'm not alone.... I tried every firmware several times, some for a few minutes, some for days and weeks and always came back to the 2.03beta. It isnt perfect but much better than the others. Yesterday I tried the new 2.34beta and listened just for a few hours, but I have to...

Hi there,   I´m looking for an external HDD (>1TB), which will definitely work with Fiio X5s OTG-port...   It wouldn´t be a problem to power it seperatly, because it will be used for home listening only.   Any ideas?   Thanks!   Thomas

HS6 stacking kit   One short question: Does the HS6 stacking kit also fit the X5, when the original silicon-sleeve, which is delivered with, is on the player?   Thanks for answering!   ;-)

Same here. On 2.0 the sound is much clearer or maybe more neutral, but also feels lighter with less bass and less warmth and often the X5 "screams" ab bit in to my ears...   Tried it on headphone out and with different amps on lineout too. For getting sure, I switched several times between the...

  Also me - using the X5 (and also the X3) often with Sonys MDR 7520 or the Z1000, which are both more on the warm side (but really sensitiv in DAC/Amp things...). Out of the headphone-out I´m not able to listen more than a few minutes; this is not what I want.   At the line-out, with f.e. a...

  Hi there,   thanks for your answer... On my X5 the 2.0 definitely sounds clearer and more transparent, but sometimes it also feels a bit too harsh. The soundstage is wider and not as deep as on 1.20 and also sounds not really right to me; too much at the sides directly located on the...

Hi there,   received my X5 a few days ago and all in all i´m lucky with that.   One question: did anyone here notice any changes in soundsignature after upgrading firmware to 2.0? I switched several times from 1.20 to 2.00 and back an i´m sure that there are some noticeable differences...
