Well long story short - it was the Microsd cards causing my problem. I have two cards only one was exfat. New firmware worked fine with ether no cards or the one exfat card. Reformatted the bad card and everything is good to go. For almost a day at 1.7 speed. Thanks again for the firmware...

I chose the 1.4 frequency. I am not getting as far as the “please reboot” notice - the initial reboot is hanging up so that notice never appears.

Grrr....still having some issues installing the new kernel. That said it did work once for me so I am wondering if I am just making a silly error somewhere. Also, wiping the device and using the fiio flashing tool is relatively easy. Here’s what I think I’ve done: 1- Used fiio tool to...

By wipe I am assuming you mean to run the FIIO firmware upgrade tool. Is that a correct assumption?

Grrrrrr…..I am some kind of goofball. Everything was fine and then I thought Id try a faster speed and ever since then I cannot get the new firmware to not freeze during boot no matter what speed I am installing. Everything goes well and then moments after the "machine will reboot in 20...

I had completely abandoned my X5iii due to its incredibly poor performance. But with the Jkbuha's kernel upgrade I decided to give it another go - I would encourage anyone to upgrade their kernel. Using the new kernel and Neutron and am finally happy with the X5iii's performance. I use two...

I think the Neutron app avoids the android processing. It’s also a bit snappier In performance than the FIIO app but its UI took me a bit of time to get use to. Of course the FIIO music app also avoids android processing.

Yes, it does.:triportsad:

Ah I read your directions too fast you are absolutely correct. While in large art view it doesn't work. Grrrr....

Do you also have the sidebar shortcut issue?

I followed your directions and see the side shortcuts go away on large art view however when I go back to list view the short cut bar reappears and functions properly

I signed in to mention the track sort issue and see I've already been beaten to the punch. Also, can confirm MinnieOne's observation that Alpha sort still isn't properly implemented. Pleas. please, please .... fix this an add replaygain. Adding albumartist tag support would be great too as...

The images in the Artist sort are now correct and the correct song counts are shown under each artist. There are still fairly serious deficiencies in sorting. For example, I see the following under my artist list: ( I wish articles like "The" were ignored) The Jimi Hendrix Experience The...

Just want to comment that I had a shipping related issue and the gang at Brainwavz responded so professionally that they should be used in business schools as a case study in how customer Service should operate. I am impressed! :)

I would be interested in an Official fiio reply to this query. I asked the same question a few pages ago and fiio has so far declined to reply. I just looked a few minutes ago and this was still up on the fiio site in the FAQ section of the forum dated 1/20/17. My memory seems to remember...

Interesting comment. Still the number of tracks messes with the FIIO Music App even using smaller cards. I have two 256 cards virtually filled up. (~58k in tracks) The FIIO Music App cannot shuffle very well at all. Occasional stuttering and the artwork does not change until about 30...

Foobar has a lot of things designed right in their app in terms of handling tagging and large collections. (and replaygain) I think this is due to their heritage and not starting from a mobile device. They along with Neutron Foobar actually uses the "albumartist" tag. In terms of source...

Awesome Thanks! I am planning for these play lists being my soundtrack for work next week.

Brooko - I must say I find your response to my posts lacking in respect. I am not debating anything. I have never challenged your claims. I posted a timeline showing my FIIO experience and where it led me. You have different experiences – based in part on private interactions with FIIO - and...

Sounds like its a version exclusive to brick and mortar shops.

I hope their fixes work. I started a long post but deleted it Ill just say that I have learned to doubt FIIOs commitment to quality and their customers. I hope its just a bump in the road cause by growing pains. Time will tell.

Maybe but I would suggest in this case it is a small insult at best. I said it without scorn. I simply have come to believe that their commercial decision was not to expend the energy required to make a top quality product. Others may blame incompetence. If they conclude incompetence and...

Mandrake - one of the things I find frustrating is the alph sort. I have two 256 cards totally filled. With a few thousand albums then terrible alpha sort is a constant frustration For me. May I ask how many files you are actually using and how your tagging is structured? I'd rather not...

Ok by the way I just reread the flow of posts and rereading alone doesn't solve my confusion as you suggested it would. I do take you at your word that you were not addressing my post. Ha fi been thin skinned I might be insulted. I am not. You said Can't when you meant something else. I...

A confusion. Perhaps so but would you please answer how you know neutron failed at solving the problem
