That picture I posted was from the adapter from the M11 I just sold
Yeah, Fiio X5iii uses the 4 pole. I have that DAP and still use it sometimes as a transport from it's digital coax out. I built a couple digital coax cables so I didn't have to use the adapter and/or swap cables between a couple of DAC's. It's a real b*tch to wire up the connectors with center conductor to sleeve and shield to Ring 2 to match the FIIO wiring. That's how I wired them but I know it works in reverse because I built a test cable wired the more logical way (shield to sleeve, center conductor to ring 2) and it still worked just fine. Couldn't hear any audible difference either. But being OCD, I built the actual cables I use wired the same way that FIIO did it. I still curse Fiio for that ...The funny thing is that their even older DAPS use the standard we all know. That picture i posted is from the FiiO X5. The change was made with the FiiO XIII 2 which I also have the cable for, and does not work. It has always annoyed me to have to change this adapter when changing DAPs. So, the TRRS adapter didn't work for the X5, but did for the XIII 2, and the other cable was vice versa (the opposite).
Well, thankfully the X5 OG, had both coax and SPDIF out, which was (and probably still is) fairly rare on a portable. It it held a bigger card, I might still use it for a transport.Yeah, Fiio X5iii uses the 4 pole. I have that DAP and still use it sometimes as a transport from it's digital coax out.

Finally.
Works for me.Unplug pause working for everyone ?
April fools maybe?
