I received a NEW AK240 two days ago and have been testing on and off (Hey I Have Busy life).. So far so good.. The wifi connected to my music easily and the range is very good. My wireless router is on the 2nd level and I was receiving without any drop outs at 60-75 feet away.   The...

I shipped the unit back today.. I guess you can't expect much for $2500 these days

Pay attention.... The Bluetooth range is listed in the manual as "8 inches .... Look down add 5 inches.... that's how much 8 inches is.... Even if Bluetooth had the bandwidth...it wouldn't make a lot of difference unless maybe you duct tape the AK240 to the side of your head.. Keep in mind...

I checked out the Astell & Kern AK240 at the recent Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver and the read the review in the audiophile magazine. I think I was sold when heard them ... I purchased the thru Amazon and have been testing them for about a week. The positives: Easy to use intuitive...

All the reading of this forum won't fix the file management issues with the X3. I only check in here occasionally to see if that long promised resolution from FIIO has manifested yet.. All I see is that I am not the only person that has experienced this problem. I do however seem to be the only...

I seem to remember some promise that when the X5 was released that FIIO would be addressing the file management/SD card issues with the X3 units. I'm not seeing any new firmware downloads for the X# but am seeing several for the X5 already. So if you were one of those folks that plunked down...

I see that a lot of people (not in the peoples republic) still have file management issues with the X-3. the FIIO statement about 5000 units being sold ... in country without complaints is probably true. Good chance you get either shot or imprisoned for life for speaking out against any industry...

I wouldn't exactly be getting in line to buy the new X-5 until they actually resolve the issues with the X-3. It almost seems like reviewers are paid by FIIO to review their products. I know they would never send one to me to test because well they might not want to hear what I have to say if...

This message is specifically for geeee--Locks. It's just wonderful that you believe what Fiio tells you. The X3 has had 3 firmware updates since I received my first unit. None of these file management issues were ever rectified. There are hundreds posts in this forum in several different areas...

Why is it that my $35 sansa clip player can effortlessly organize and play all my FLAC files and the $200 X3 cannot?

I see the X5 has been released and already has two firmware updates.... Welcome all you beta testers.....Maybe they will get all the problems ironed out or maybe they will just sell you a newer expensive model....... What happened to those promised firmware updates for the X3 that was going to...

This is a response to "hard head" above. Whether or not Fiio is TRYING to fix the problems with their product is not the issue. The issue is that it has problems and they are still selling it...and getting ready to sell another product.... Apple ..... who cares about what Apple does or doesn't...

I'm just checking in on this thread and I see that the X3 still has file management problems. I have received messages from Fiio saying that MY problem is just an isolated problem that no one else is having ..... uh huh, yeah ,right ... Their solution is to send my X3, the 64 GB card and the...

It's really too bad that FII0 is going to leave all the x3 owners in the lurch with the poor functioning file recognition and management. Mine just sits around and collects dust... Maybe a generous trade in offer should be a consideration...What a concept ...Huh?

File management seems to be an ongoing problem with the X3. Fiio responds indicating that the problem is with the actual SD card or with how you have them organized or with the ID tags of the files. Funny how this is not an issue with any other device I load these files too..... nuf said.

My x3 still has random file recognition issues. They may be related to the Micro SD cards I am using.... and might not.. This is the 3rd unit I have owned (sent back two). I tried numerous brands and sizes of micro SD cards and only had better luck with Sandisk class 10 32Gb cards. Even with...

I JUST RETURNED THE UNIT........

This should be quite simple but when I plug my audioquest dragonfly into any computer it automatically bypasses the computers DAC and outputs to the Dragonfly. When I have plugged my E-17 DAC into the USB port on two different computers I get zip. I look in the control panel and do not see the...

In response to tjw 321. I have actually had a lot of help from this forum ... at least the affirmation that this is a 32 GB max player and not 64 Gb player as advertised. Yes, it is a great sounding player.. But does it sound or operate $165 better than the $35 Sansa clip player? Only the owner...

I now downloaded the latest firmware version 2.1 which includes a format option right on the X3 .... The unit seems to now work ok but only with a 32 Gb sd card. It still has the original problem I have originally been reporting all along. I hope they resolve this soon. I only have a few days...

FIIO and others continue to say that the file problem might have to do with the way the files are tagged or how the SD cards are formatted of the cards themselves.   When transferring music to the X3 :   1) all Folders ....... genres, artists, albums, files are arranged exactly the same way...

I have tried at least 5 different cards .... 32 GB and 64 GB .... different brands.....different files .....different computers ..... different programs to format the sd  cards ........ only one major problem actually ...... limited file access over a certain amount of music/data   As stated...

I received my 3rd unit (thank you Amazon's easy return policy). I used the Fat32 SD card formatter on the FiiO website and downloaded and installed the latest firmware 2.05.... This is a little confusing because the earlier version 1.31 has a later date than version 2.05. So which is actually...
