    FW 1.4 via mac pro

    How are backups of the song files done from a mac pro please?   Without extra software I can drag song files to the X3 icon an play them. But for now the the thing doesn't recognize it's own update. Is it possible that downloading the file via mac os 10.10.5 does something to the header code...

    The FiiO X3 2nd gen (ex X3K, X3II) Thread : 192K/24B, CS4398,Native DSD, USB DAC with LO and inline remote

    I would love to be the first person to actually get tech support on my X3 II. The money I paid for it worked perfectly. What I got in exchange is a little box in a condom with asian writing on every page. One might think this would be so easy to fix. Four days later and not a word from these...

    Zero or very little latency wireless tv sound.

    Not exactly audiophile material....  but I've had two transmitters with blue tooth in their name and both spoiled the movie experience by making the audio late compared to the  picture. Does it cost a lot to get something that will drive two separate listening devices and produce decent sound...

    Considering SainSmart 6N3 as a headphone amp

    I have a FiiO X3 music file player. It's not bad sounding at all just a little dty. There is plenty of gain with my earbuds but my AKG712s sound much better. [ better stage image for one thing.] The 712s ohm out at 57.8 and 59 ohms reading sleeve to tip and sleeve to ring. I have to crank the...

    Help with choosing an appropriate amp for Movie sound

    As that question formed in my head I realized that such an amp would need to handle a broad spectrum of sounds.   `got a fairly inexpensive walmart big screen for watching movies. We haven't had TV since 83 but watch movies often. The sound is disheartening on this player. I think it's mostly...

    FiiO X3 ii

    Last I heard that was the suffix they were using but it could have changed by now. I'd like to know please, if people who have had these a while are satisfied with the amount of low end. Does it seem tight and punchy or just big and bassey? Are the highs smooth enough not to burn out your ears...

    Grado Labs 325 parts..... sorta rant

    I'm probably dreaming, but does anyone know the price of drivers or capsules for my SR 325s. Yes it occurred to me to call Grado but when they want 20 dollars each.....4 years ago,  for the ham radio operator style ear pads, I'm scared to ask what the driver or capsule might cost. I made my own...

    Hello, with a multimeter I determined I have a serious problem w/half my stereo image. Open btwn ring and sleeve and 60 ohms w/ tip and sleeve. Can I order parts for these? Do I have to battle my way thru some bloated corporation's idea of a help page or is it simple enough that a music store...

    AKG 712 Honey Moon Over??

    I lost half my stereo image today, I have the two halves on earbuds, changed out the cable on the 712s and it didn't matter. There must be a way to verify or possibly identify the problem with some multimeter measurements. Once again writing the question got me thinking of a possible course of...

    Best ear buds arround $50-$75

    Following a few links from this thread I came across the ATH IM70. Are most people satisfied with the bass response in these buds. The IM50 reviews on Azon were all over the place, bass suks, great bass so I was unsure about those.. I'm hoping  to get opinions from the members here. Before...

    AKG K712, shorter cable

    Hi, I have been trying to find a shorter detachable cable for the k712 pro. Someone at H had a curly one that was longer than what came with the phone. I bought them used. So the long one is all I have. Can you recommend a reliable source that possibly does not involve the mind numming phone...
