Red does look nice but I think I'll stick with black and maybe get red case when it's out haha

 
My sentiments exactly. Have a titanium and will get the red case. @FiiO has noted down my special request.

  Hi mihaig,
 
you can insert the Micro SD card into slot 2, to see the seed will be better or not ?

I did. Average speed is almost triple now. Took some screenshots using slot 1 and slot 2.

  @FiiO, can the sandisk wireless stick work with x5iii?

 
Theoretically, X5 3rd gen can with it if it supports Android Devices with Android 5.1

  Hi (to maybe somebody from Fiio)! 
 
I just received my X5 III - and coming from an Onkyo DP-X1, I really like the more musical sound, the smaller form factor and better battery life!

 
But I am having the following issues:
 
1. The Android EQ of streaming apps (Spotify and Apple Music) does not seem to work with the X5? It is shown properly in the menu (see picture), but if you use the sliders there are no sound changes at all! It worked flawlessly (and surprinsingly well) on my DP-X1! Interestingly enough, after plugging in a balanced cable, the two extra sliders for "bass" and "surround" get greyed out (second picture). I remember that actually the latter also happened on my DP-X1 at the beginning, but disappeared after a while (maybe due to a software update)? So I suppose this is either a software bug or the Android EQ is switched off in the Fiio firmware?
Any solutions anybody? I find it kind of a pity not being able to use the Android EQ, because Viber Effects also only work in the Fiio Music App and not system wide....
 
2. It seems that is does not work to set up a " launcher" as a standard screen, to create one`s own skin - as it is usually possible on any Android device (and was on my DP-X1). With the Fiio, it says "Select dodol Launcher, then tap ALWAYS", for example,  but actually nothing happens. Is this also not allowed by the firmware?
 
3. The download speed for streaming Apps is really, really slow, it takes maybe four to five times (!) longer than it used to take with my DP-X1! Is this buggy, too, or does it have any other technical back ground?
 
4. The stand by light is always blue - is it still ok to leave the device in stand by mode without losing too much battery? I actually never swiched my DP-X1 off and it did not use much battery in stand by (at least if I had Wifi off). Also, I realized that pushing the stand by button on the X5 after the screen turned black, it sometimes starts or stops playing music - must be a bug, too, I guess? 
 
Thanks for any solution!
 

 

 

1. One of our friend also informed us that EQ is not working in the Spodify, our engineer will look into it .
2. For setting up a " launcher" as a standard screen, we did disable it ,  since it will affect the operation for Pure mode.
3. We will improve it .
4.For the blue light, our engineer told us that it will not waste too much power, but we will consider to make a icon for the Blue light , and then you can choose to open it or not in the future.

Count me in, for that "Whole Lotta Love"...
