i just had a closer look of the front and i can confirm it is glass it was the screen protector on it that made me think it was plastic ...

How's the UI? It looks pretty smooth in your video. Does the gapless playback work? Any pops or other strange noises you may have heard?

Thanks

the UI is surprisingly smooth i had no hiccups or anything like that it is pretty stable ..the wheel was my main concern and it was quite good...No pops or strange noises that i have heard

Hope someone here can share their comparison of the X3MkIII with the 1st gen X3.

Thanks for the video review. We really appreciate the first look. On another note , i have to ask everyone one question. It seemed as you scrolled through the play settings, there was no replay gain setting in sight. Why is it that on every player Fiio has released that replay gain is never in the initial firmware. Is this really that hard to implement? You would think that with all of the players and firmware versions they have released over the years, that brand new "high end" player would have replay gain in the initial firmware. I am not a programmer, but since it has been requested and then added on all of their other players that they could have in there out of the gate at this point. Is it maybe more difficult to implement that I imagine?

I'd much rather a comparison to the X3II.

 

[Richsvt]

Hopefully I'll have my Mk 3 tomorrow and I can do a comparison with the Mk 2.

Then it would be good to have the X3 MkIII comparison with both 1st gen X3 and X3 MkII...the more the merrier

maybe there will be day one patch

there was option called playback gap and it was set to none..weird language but i think it meant gapless playback

soo maybe we just didn't notice replay gain

 

[JWolf]

I took a look at the video posted and there is no replaygain.

Dear friend,

The replay gain would be added in later firmware update.

Best regards

On the weekend in a moment of clarity I cancelled my order for the X3II. I've got the X1II and the X3III probably isn't alot better so I'll just try to be happy for awhile with what I have. Maybe if the X3III is running smoothly they can use that firmware for the X1II.

You feeling ok Bruce?...lol

I'd love to see them do something like that. With that said, the video made it look like the UI was pretty responsive. Still waiting for more impressions though. I'd have to sell a DAP to justify s new one.

Well we just have some other expenses right now so I can't buy one in good conscience. Maybe I'll get one eventually. I don't really have anything to sell right now so like I said I'll just have to be satisfied.

Check this out from Fiio's website...sounds like the same problems the X1II has.
