    Value of a Fiio X3 (1st gen)?

    I've got a first generation Fiio X3 (perfect condition with box and all all original accessories). Does it have any value at this point and, if yes, can you suggest about what I might ask for it? Clunky interface, but it's a nice little unit and works as an inline DAC.

    Will USB A to USB C work for playback?

    Well, it doesn't seem to work. USB - B in Peachtree to USB-C in M6. I tried changing various settings and restarting the M6, but no signal seems to come through whatsoever. I went back to RCA to jack and that works fine.

    Will USB A to USB C work for playback?

    Now I'm just confused. So I can use it via a USB cable to my Peachtree integrated? It turns out it's not that big of a deal because I can connect my bluetooth receiver via coax and then use the RCAs to connect to the M6. The only issue is what DAC I want to operate -- the RCA jacks will have...

    Will USB A to USB C work for playback?

    I'm wondering if I can use a a USB - C (to the my FIIO M6) to a USB - A (to my Peachtree USB) cable to play music? This would better for me than using RCA to headphone jack option as I only have one RCA out on the amp. and I use it for other devices.

    Help with moving music from computer to Fiio M6 DAP

    I tried again connecting the M6 to my computer and used MusicBee it seemed to work this time although I hadn't changed setting. It took hours and then gave me the "sync failed" message. Then I went back to drop and drag to the SD card inserted in my computer and that worked pretty well.

    Help with moving music from computer to Fiio M6 DAP

    Hi - I recently purchased a Fiio M6 to replace my Fiio X3 Mk1. I keep my music on a Windows 10 computer using (currently) both MusicBee and Windows Music Player. I bought the M6 in part because the music on the X3 is a bit of a jumble with a lot of album titles not showing up and almost no...

    Koss HV/X replacement pads?

    Koss finally stopped selling replacement pads for my HV/X. The pads were great except that they literally disintegrate after a few years. The original pads came with adhesive on them which stuck to the smooth plastic of the headphone. Does anyone know what pads might fit this headphone?

    Monoprice Monolith M565 immpresions

    I've heard some folks describe the 565 as very dark. That didn't really make sense to me, but it has taken me a while to find the time for a long listen. I did that tonight and I can only assume that there are some big differences between units. I would describe my M565 as slightly on the warm...

    Monoprice Monolith M565 immpresions

    I'm surprised how little has been said here. I just got a pair and I will take a while to listen before saying too much, but for now: Comfort is excellent. Build quality seems solid so far. Sound is great in the first bit of listening. I'm very impressed with the bass quality and quantity, but...

    Replace driver or buy new subwoofer unit?

    Any more info. on this unit? Looks like the same exact sub I just picked up. Mine seems to be working fine and sounds pretty good for music.

    New to forum - NAD, Fiio

    Hi -    I'm brand new as member though I've been reading for a while and I've been into audio since the early 80s. I recently bought a Fiio X3 and NAD HP50 for home/portable use. I was replacing a set of Koss HV/X I got new as a present in 1983. I was surprised how well they held up sonically...
