I gave this thing a 2 month chance and it failed miserably...
Main issues:
- constant freezes and shutdowns, usually 2-3 times per listening session. EVERY DAY
- song would visibly start playing on the screen, but the sound wouldn't start until a few seconds in to the song
- very slow, very slow, very slow
- long start up time
- constant error messages for no reason
- it wouldn't recognize or play certain files that would play fine in my other daps from the same SD card
- finicky touch screen
To add insult to injury, Fiio CS answer a couple emails with a "try this" and "try that", all of which I tried to no avail. After telling them their fixes didn't fix it, they stopped responding to my emails. Shame on Fiio for releasing this thing before it was even functional and shame on them for not at least offering to fix it.
Fortunately, Amazon stepped up and took it back after almost 4 months of ownership, with only a restocking fee to me. To Fiio, I'll remember this experience and pass it on every chance I get.
