I apologize if this has been answered before.   I love the sound of my X5 ever since I got it last June, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to use the scroll wheel. It's almost to the point of being unusable right now; try to scroll through music it will just jump back and forth between...

      My main issue is that nearly every source says that the Sennheiser HD598's are very easy to drive, and it just doesn't make much sense to me that the Koss's would get so much louder. I was planning on buying the Fiio replacement cable for the HD598's that has a 3.5mm terminator...

I've got a quick question about headphones and the X5.   I use a pair of Koss KSC75 headphones for portable listening with my X5, which have an impedance of 60 ohms. For home listening, I have a pair of Sennheiser HD598's with impedance of 50 ohms, with the OEM Sennheiser 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter...

I'll admit that I don't have a very ideal setup right now for listening/transferring music..all my music is currently stored on a 1 TB WD My Passport, and my personal computer is a Macbook Pro which I haven't found good software for checking songs/check SD card with. My Windows 7 desktop is back...

    The songs that go bad are somewhat random..I say that because I had a different set of songs that went bad a few days ago and now they seem completely fine. However I noticed songs skipping again this morning and knew there had to be something wrong, so I formatted the card with the X5...

STILL experiencing issues with FLAC playback. I have ran these songs through audiotester and they all check out find on my hard drive, they all check out fine right after I've loaded them onto the SD card, but as soon as I load them into the X5 they get messed up somehow. I am specifically using...

Alright so I traced my problem with corrupted files to either the Fiio X5 causing them, or a bad SD card. The files are completely fine and intact on my hard drive, but as soon as I drag them to the SD card on the X5, they get corrupted. Is it more likely that the SD card was bad (it was brand...

I download a program called AudioTester from vuplayer and ran the file that had issues through it. This was the message I received:     So I'm going to just assume that the FLAC file was corrupted and that's the whole reason why the X5 crashed on the song/skipped it? I have absolutely no...

Well my X5 just shut itself off again. I was listening to a 48/24 song at like 70 volume on low gain, and it just shut itself off like it did when I had it a bit too loud. This wasn't even remotely loud this time so I'm thinking I'm going to have to send it back. I'm not sure what the issue is...

It was on low gain. On high gain at full volume it was definitely far too loud. But I'm mostly just talking about quieter songs anyway, I never was listening to anything remotely "loud" when I was at full volume so my ears are fine. I was mostly just testing the amp on it anyway. I know there...

don't have a lot of experience with players like thisQuote: Sorry, I don't have a lot of experience with players like this. Have I done any irreperable harm to the unit by playing it like this? I've only had it a couple days. Should I just buy the Fiio E12 if I find myself wanting more volume?

I received my new X5 yesterday..everything was going great until just. I was listening to a song (@ 48 khz/24 bit, at full volume into Sennheiser HD598) and it just randomly made a short, sharp crackling sound and turned off. It wouldn't turn on no matter what I did until I held the button to...

So will they be just converting DSD to PCM on the fly, similar to what foobar and JRiver computer programs do? Which means it won't be native DSD that is being played?

128 GB microSD cards are now available for pre-order, I believe they are exclusive to Best Buy and Amazon at the moment. Amazon currently has a 40% off microSD card sale going one right now, which brings the total for a new card to only $119.99! Seems like a great deal to me.   Here's the...

Hello there, I'm looking into modding and recabling a pair of Koss KSC75's. I have some soldering experience so shouldn't have too much trouble there, but I'm struggling a bit on finding everything I'll need in order to accomplish recabling the headphones. Several recommendations have include...
