Excuse the newbie question, but do I need a certain speed SD card to play DSD files well? I see they are listed at different read speeds, i.e. 90/mbps, 40/mbps etc.

After some search, I came to the conclusion that most people do not use this one with LO.

Still there must be someone around who compared it with the LO of the AKs or iBasso etc.

Who knows the X5 LO very well?

I use the new ALO Rx IEM version and I absolutely love the X5ii/Rx combo. The X5ii Line Out is very clean. Haven't compared to AK or iBasso though.

Thank you for the answer.

I am a big fan of the 1792A DAC sound. I have an Olive 4HD at home and its pretty great. If the sound signature is anywhere near the Olive, I would be happy to buy one.

Just a word of caution, the X5ii may have trouble with your tags if you have metadata specific to the Olive 4HD.

No worries, tagging was done, so that most music sources at home work. If it worked with the old X3, it should work with the X5 too

That's a really good idea. Thanks! Although I still think the menu will Lag as the playlists will be within the same folder as all of the artists.
 
I think it's the sheer number of options being loaded when I click on TF1: or TF2:

People don’t seem to mention Alpha Design Lab products all that much, but just wanted to share that the ADL-H128 headphones sound phenomenal with the X5 Next Gen without any need for outside amplification.  I’m marveling at this combination as the X5 II really coaxes a command performance out of these cans, the depth and detail resonates wonderfully.

And no, I did not take the photos of the model... nor the laminated RCA canine.

think you can always start a new thread on it as well

There's a thread already on it... Just not many have that headphone to review it.

My assessment is the ADL-H128 are perfectly tuned and balanced for the X5 Next Gen.  They've never sounded this vibrant with any other DAP so there's true synergy.  I'd been listening to Grados and the ATH-M50x previously, but the ADL cans are truly best suited for this FiiO.  I hope more people will get exposed to these headphones, so just spreading the word.  It's hard to start a dedicated thread without other participants since few possess these and I'd just be talking to myself which is quite dull.

Does the blue led ever dim while in idle?

Depends on what the idle timer is set to.

Has anyone had any luck using this model as an external DAC?
