That's the main difference beetween Fiio and the others: Feedback. Although I would prefere the proper  mp3 decoding as a priority, I totally understand all James words. I love my X3 and I'm happy knowing it will be improved for a long time.

It seems Marlene is teaching much to many experienced guys here! Cheers for you Marlene!   Ok Cheg, if you have the source, why bothering with MP3? It's is lossy and if you try a lossless format from a lossy one, well it will be a lossy big file, even considering it will be better played back.

That was a highly polite way to end a not even started argument. But, no. I seems that you are a least mislead, not to say wrong, with the "less need of interpolation", just because the signal was aready interpolated by the digital to analog coverter. And if you mean by "proper system" some...

Hi!   Besides the idea that HiRes audio files are nonsense for end users, according to Xiph.org, what you feel about wav vs flac could not be entirely placebo. And maybe it has nothing to do with bigger resolution increasing your hearing perception.   I saw a TV article long time ago, here...

James, thank you  for the reply but... When I deleted the database file and rebuilt the library I was able to use category, but only few albuns appeared. only very few artists, and the SDcard is plenty of dozens of albuns. Or maybe that's the problem. Don't worry, I've back the db file, but it...

Thank you very much for posting it here and thank you people from xiph.org! I haven't even finished reading the article, but it already opened up my eyes. I have some 320kbpsMP3 from iTunes that are so good encoded that I usually forget they are mp3. So I'll let this 24/192 digging thing away...

And I was thinking that everyting was perfect... Another glich to add those in this thread: after updating to 2.05 I just can't use Categories anymore. None of them (Album, Artist or Genre). Has any of you had this one? Everythig is tagged as before, so I don't know what's going on.

Haven't you ever tried Flac? They are smaller filetypes but saves the same sonic information from the original files, in just half the original size. Plus, you get idtag information, like in mp3, including cover and lyrics!

That's how I mostly use my X3! Live shows are so live and deep! Now closing the eye feels almost the same as being on the concert, 'cos the music never stops till is the end.

Sorry for the delay. The only vendor listed on Fiio website here in Brazil still didn't have the device at the time I was about to buy and I couldn't wait whether or when it would arrive. And yet it wouldn't be locally: they would have to ship it to me, because the store is in São Paulo, I live...

 Lol That's was really funny! I believe I've spent already about $1K. US$400 on the X3 and US$500 on my Westone4 due to shipping and customs tax (you know, Brazil...). But totaly worth it!

                   My God!    Full gapeless suport! On Flac files! In Browse mode!                                                                            And I've tested with 192/24 flac files!                     Now It's the best DAC Player ever...     OK. I still want to give it...

                   My God!    Full gapeless suport! On Flac files! In Browse mode!                                                          

Damn! That was unexpected. I've just updated yesterday to 1.31! I'll update right now to see the news!

Hi! I'm new here. I wanted to keep the thread moving. I have a X3 for quite a while and I'd like to add some interesting info: Playing gapeless (for suitable file types) is automatic. You just need to browse your files (which is better than going in Category>Album) then turn off and on the...
