If I download by OTA I still have to "Note: After this upgrade, it is suggested to delete the album(internal_sd\FiiOMusic) folder firstly, then scan songs on FiiO Music again. Please make sure the FiiO Music is closed before deleting the album folder. "? How do I delete that?

What is the format of album covers? Because my whole collection covers are named after album title. This works on every Rockboxed device, but I remember that it wasn't on Fiio X5 1st gen.

and compare to the DX200.

still did not buy it nor do i think i will

Not necessarily.  Didn't they switch families from X5ii to X5iii, ti-Burr-Brown to AKM? 

Yes, they did. But going to a TI PCM or DSD 1792/1793/1794 A is not that likely as the x5 II had a PCM1792, if I recall correctly. Also from what I read I believe ESS and AKM currently have a slight technological advantage over TI.

Of course the AKM4497 wpuld be an option, but it consumes more power than the AKM4490 in the X5 III.

Using the ESS 9028 would have the advantage of being easier to implement in an X7 successor due to compatibility and would ensure that the top line X7 and the X5 have a slightly different sound signature, giving customers more choice. The 9028 also has a new feature called THD compensation which would reduce THD over the predecessor 9018. The 9028 is used in the IBasso DX200 and in Benchmark DAC 3. 9038, which consumes more power, is used more in desktop dacs such as the top of the line Ayre dac.

OTA not going over 20kb/s and Dropbox being down (too much traffic?) i can't really upgrade to 1.1.3 for now i'll have to be patient.

Yeah, same issue here
 
Guess people are just in a hurry to get the new FW

 

[regit]

Anyone have the same observations/issues?
 
1) Album view - Chinese/Japanese Kanji titles are mixed into the A-Z sorting. Almost like these characters are translate into pinyin and get inserted into the A-Z sort.
 
2) When playing a 24bit album, using the physical back button (to go back to the previous track) in quick succession will cause FiiO player to go crazy/hang.

Thank you for the update FiiO.

Now, can you please upgrade your servers to handle the traffic for OTA upgrades for your customers....

guys odd question
which button is prev and which next?
till today I thought the order for all  the buttons like these is:
 
/\ - NEXT
|
|
\/ - PREV
 
but fiio seems to be opposite to this.

/\ is previous

\/ is next.

Think of it like up one level or down one level in the track listing. At least that's what helped me.

I finally got through with dropbox....downloaded the update.....went on seamlessly - I'll eventually get decent at this process
