    Looking for upgrade in $500-600 range

    I'm not really sure. Since this is the only DAP I've owned, I'm not sure what else I would notice in a better player.

    Looking for upgrade in $500-600 range

    I currently have the FIIO X3 (ver 2). Just ordered a set of Shure Aonic 4s and also have an HD300 and BD T90 and a FIIO 5121 amp. Was thinking of upgrading my player but am limited to the stated price range. Will I notice any improvement over the X3 in that range? Thx, Rut

    BeyerDynamic T90 versions

    What is the difference between the Beyerdynamic T90 New Tesla  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00890YNBK/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza   and the BeyerDynamic T90 Chrome Exclusive Limited Edition Audiophile Headphones  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KCML1FO?psc=1   The latter are cheaper. Are they...

    What's next?

    I currently have a FIIO X3, Aune B1 amp, and HD600 headphones.  Sometimes I think that it can't get any better, especially when listening to Nora Jones or acoustic guitar tracks. Other times I'm thinking maybe there is a little something missing.   Not having unlimited funds I feel like I...

    Fiio x3 ii proper setup to amp

    I recently purchased this unit along with a Aune B1 amp.  I'm not completely confident that I have the two hooked together correctly. I have the x3 line/coax out connected to the amp using a standard stereo connector.  I have the Multifunctional outputs menu item set to line out.     Is this...

    Music from concert dvds

    I know there are some tools out there for grabbing the audio from a dvd but all the ones I've seen only create a single file with all the audio. Are there any tools that will split the audio into separate files (one for each song)? Thanks, Rut

    Hi res flac vs cd to flac

    I guess I was thinking how I heard Neil Young talk about the compression process they came up with for cd's was flawed and that getting the hi res versions would not have this problem. Or was he referring to something else? Also, how do you go about finding out what the master is for a cd?  ...

    Hi res flac vs cd to flac

    I've purchased a few of the hi res recording from HDtracks and I'm not entirely sure I can hear the difference between those and the cd versions. Just wondering how many of you can. What is the difference that you hear? More detail? Better soundstage? Do you have some examples of hi res vs cd...

    Newbie to advanced music listening

    I've just recently gotten the bug to buy some decent headphones and a Fiio X3. Scored some HD600's off of ebay for 250 (still waiting on them).    I've read a lot of threads recommending an external amp to drive the phones.  I thought I'd stick with the Fiio brand and get an E12 but wondering...

    Looking for decent dap mostly for in car playing

    Understood but if I just connect it via the aux in would it actually be sending the music itself (as decoded and processed through the player) and not an actual file?

    Looking for decent dap mostly for in car playing

    It uses a simple usb cable to connect the ipod, not a dock. So would a fiio or other similar player not work in this manner? I would like the option of being able to take it with me and listen via headphones when the need arises.

    Looking for decent dap mostly for in car playing

    Not entirely sure. The ipod's controls do not work when it is connected to the truck's radio via the usb connector. I use the radio's controls to move from song to song or move through folders or tell it to shuffle. Since you can also plug in a usb drive of songs I suspect it is as you say, the...

    Looking for decent dap mostly for in car playing

    Hardly audiophile worthy but I'm looking to replace my old ipod nano player with something else. Looking for a device that can store higher quality music and still easily interface with a car's factory audio.  My truck currently connects to my apple device via a usb port. It appears most of the...
