New filters option in FW1.1.0 doesn't work at all for me. Switching between filters makes no difference in sound signature. Can anybody confirm that? I own LG V20 and G7 with ESS DAC and changing filters makes huge difference.

Thanks! Now I'm pretty confident that I'm buying the 7 gen. The guy said it's in near mint condition. We'll see.

Awesome! Thank you MikeyFresh for the very useful info. I might finally buy myself 7 gen iPod. :)

Thanks. But why is the order number different from the ones on EveryMac?

Hey guys I've been offered an iPod 160gb but i couldn't find any reference online to the model/batch number MC484C. Does anyone knows anything about this model?

I would reset the device and flash FW again.

I was looking for 256gb PNY on amazon.ca but the cheapest I could find was $185, so I bought a Patriot LX series for $92.

Good point. I just repeated the test listening non stop from track 7 to 11 and I did get a little stutter between 10 and 11.

I downloaded your test file and it plays flawlessly with no gaps from my cheap 128gb ADATA card.

3.4 Blues The colour might look a bit different. I also redesigned navigation wheel for both orange and blue themes.

No problem, here's a CS4 file https://www.dropbox.com/s/of9q2fnrmig85f2/first%20play_v3_cs4.zip?dl=0 I also use very handy utility liteGUI that allows you to test firmware without flashing it to the device every time. Although I'm not sure it's compatible with X3 II. You can get it here

If you guys want to use the files from my theme that's fine by me. Here's my working CS6 Illustrator file too. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nxvfdyjc7mtse4h/first%20play_v3.zip?dl=0

I use HO and the difference is very audible. I personally really like the new sound signature.

3.4 FW

Nope. Absolutely the same. I really like the new firmware. It does sound great.

Fiio - in harmony with sound

:rolleyes:

I always thought that X1 is a great bang for the buck.

Well Fiio X1 is nice but it doesn't have internal storage. You would have to spend some $$ for SD card as well.

I will never part with my X3. Even though I don't use it much anymore...

Damn! Nice heat sink!

True Sound of Music. Infinite fun.
