Anyone notice the X5II glitching and causing iTunes to stop when using as a DAC (apple music streaming)
Anyone notice the X5II glitching and causing iTunes to stop when using as a DAC (apple music streaming)
Sorry for the delay in replying and thanks for comment. I'm on Windows.
I am looking for a DAP to use as a transport. I am curious how this X5 2nd gen compared to the 3rd gen for the Coax output? I only care about the Coax output, that is my main use case. Spec wise, both DAPs have dual oscillators, X5 2nd gen has 2 SI oscillators, while not sure which is on the 3rd gen.
Is there any quality from the 3rd gen X5 for me to choose over the 2nd gen, or 2nd gen should be good enough for my purpose? Thanks for your advice!

I haven't had problems with iTunes stopping, but I do have an issue I'm hoping someone can help me with. I'm using the X5ii as a DAC with my MacBook Pro, and in this configuration, the X5 forces the Mac to disengage all its internal controls for volume and balance. I have substantial hearing loss in my right ear, so I need the Mac's balance control (I'm using the X5's balance control, but it doesn't go far enough). Does anyone know how to get around this. Is some some Terminal command I can use to restore the Mac's balance control while the X5 is connected in DAC mode? Is there an external balance control anyone knows of that might work?Anyone notice the X5II glitching and causing iTunes to stop when using as a DAC (apple music streaming)

I've recently bought a second-hand Fiio X5ii which appears to be in perfect condition, but which won't reliably read memory cards formatted on other machines AND (more worryingly) won't format memory cards itself.
I've done many tests, including the following very simple test. Before I ask the seller for a refund, can anyone see anything I might be doing wrong?
* Restore factory defaults.
* Insert a known good SD card which the seller included with the player.
* Format the card.
* Connect the player to a computer via USB. The player's screen says "USB connected."
* The device isn't seen on the computer.
* Insert a different known good card that was formatted elsewhere (I don't remember where).
* That shows up on the computer, so the USB connection is working. I can copy music files onto it over USB.
* Disconnect the player from the computer.
* Choose Browse Files.
* No files show up on EITHER card.
Thank you for any advice!

Dear tumble,
You may try to format the card in the X5II first. Then please do a factory restore from system settings of the X5II as well.
If you have a card reader, please check whether the songs have been copied successfully?

I can't do that, because my X5II won't format a card.
