    Still using mine since 2013. Mainly use mine for mowing the grass/plowing the snow. Mine has the original battery, good for at least 2-3 uses (2-3 hours per use.).

    Me too. My battery life is down to about 6 hours on my original X3 from 2013. I have no desire for something different. Love my X3.

    Still using mine. I bought it November 2013. I upgraded to a 128G card a couple years ago, now that's nearly full. I mainly use it now with earbuds under protective muffs for cutting the grass (3 hours at a time), and feeding the stereo in my old truck. The battery doesn't seem to last as...

    The problem with using Line Out into many "portable" type devices is that the inputs aren't designed to handle the voltage level/impedance of a true Line Out - like the X3 LO. They are instead intended for connection to the output of a typical portable mp3 player, phone, etc - which are all...

    You say you have music stored in the internal memory as well as the 128GB card.  Is this because the sd card is full?  You should avoid filling the internal memory, especially with enough music files to fill a 128GB card.  Early on (3 years ago) I had a smaller card and had issues when I nearly...

    Sounds like the database files may be corrupted.  Try deleting them and doing a database update.

    Who says it's powered up when nothing is plugged into the HO?  You know that relay click you hear when you plug/unplug?  How else would the device know if the amp should be powered?  Besides, with nothing plugged into the amp the output power is zero.

    +1 for returning to pre-3.0 cover display.  One of many reasons I've stuck to V2.1.  I would like the no-cover display to be:   Song Title Artist Album Album Artist Track # Filename Bitrate   If that were the case I'd remove all the cover art I added to all my files.  I look at the...

    The G46 (30Mb/s)has been discontinued for a few months, but it was replaced by the G4 (48Mb/s).  Amazon still sells both.  Surprisingly, the new one is cheaper.

    Try deleting all the database files, then update library.  Instructions are somewhere in this thread, possibly the Fiio site as well.   Sounds like the database got corrupted when you unplugged with the X3 still on.  When you can't unmount the X3 before unplugging, just hold down the On button...

    First, set play mode to Shuffle.  The tiny Play Mode logo looks like a Figure-8.  Then select Play All.  I use text-list GUI, so can't tell you what icons to click. This is about the only way I use mine - almost entirely with Line Out. When in Shuffle mode you can also shuffle on an Artist or...

        There's a program to download specifically for testing cards but I forget the name.  Do a Google search on fake sd cards.  If it is a fake then you should get a refund.  Even if it's just defective, you should get a refund.   If you buy a card that seems super cheap, well that's almost...

    That's exactly the behavior I saw with the 1st 64GB card I bought - a fake (really a 2GB).  Same thing with the Sandisk 128GB I bought a couple months ago from an Amazon reseller - which was a fake (really an 8GB chip).  At least I knew about fakes with that one, and was suspicious right away...

    Unless the battery is completely flat, when I plug the included USB cable into a USB port on a PC (I use a high-power port on a hub) I see:   1. green LED lights for a second (may not do this if very low charge?), then LED turns red. 2. Fiio splash screen displays, then I see the big green...

    I've been very happy with the Sony 64GB card I bought from BH Photo last year.  Nice and fast, plus the price was very good.  Since it's been full (and same for my internal) for some time now, I ordered a 128GB Sandisk a little over a week ago from Amazon when I caught a low price (went up by...

    I thought that too but now I realize it only does it after I plug it into a connected USB port.  Doesn't do it when I plug into a charge-only USB.

    I just received notice the card has shipped.  I looked at the item on Amazon again and the price has jumped $16 since I placed my order 12 hours ago!

    Not sure what edge you refer to.  I don't recall any posts mentioning required minimum free space on either memory.  Plus I figured if the device does use internal storage memory as processor temporary data memory, 1Mb is a lot for for an embedded controller like this.  The 3 database files now...

    I have 1.95Mb free in internal storage and 75.8Mb free on the 64Gb card.  No problems.

    Bought mine last November.  Had it only 3 days when it slipped from my hands (holding many things above waist height) and flew through the open door to the basement.  It bounced off a wooden step halfway down, causing it to spin rapidly into the concrete basement floor.  I was in shock, thinking...
