​They really nailed it. Love the sound of these dac's . FiiO did good.

I am using stock player more than neutron on x5iii
 
wonder about you which you use most, and do u use viper effect with stock player? If yes, I avoid using the dynamic system in viper effect as somehow it muddies the sound
 
I only use viper bass ---natural bass, fire-equalizer, viper clarity

fellow sony fans what balanced cable do you use on your Z5's?

Using Onkyo HF player now... very stable, sounds great, sorting works, upsampling works and EQ works (even with DSD files), and hardware buttons works! (which ruled out Neutron and Poweramp that I have).

Mainly usability. Currently, HF works without issue for me. (stock player issue with sorting, back-track, -1 error, random crashes... Neutron/Poweramp with non-working hardware buttons). The downside of HF is that it does not support some of the file formats (e.g. ape, iso).
 
I don't use much sonic whistle and bells so a player that work well operationally is important to me. I figure that if X5 III is bypassing the Android sampling then there shouldn't be too much sonic differences between the vanilla versions of players.
 
Sorry if you are looking for sonic comparison/advantages (which I did not quite looked into)

Hello,
 
I have the same issue, with firmware 1.1.3
 

 
It displays "-1'

At the end of the song, it goes back to the previous selected album.
 
It happens randomly. Sometime, it is OK for this Vangelis's album too : "1" is displayed and, it plays the album perfectly
 
Last time it happened, I selected an album in the "album view", clicked on the first song (count was correct : "1/7"), played some songs from this album (not all songs).
While playing a song, I selected this Vangelis's album in the "Album view",  clicked on the first song, and see that count was not correct : "-1/16"

 
 
I hope FiiO will read our messages about this bug and fix it soon. 
 

 
So, I'm not alone...

Yes, you have described very well the bug, here is exactly the same.
I can not explain, however, why the problem involves only a few users and not all.
I hope that the problem will soon be identified and fixed, because use the device in these conditions, is really a pain in the ass.

Hey Folks,

quite sure it's been posted somewhere before, but could anyone let me know of an app to download podcasts and compatible with Neutron and/or FiiO Pure Music?

I've been trying to download TTpod from FiiO's store but hungs itself... And Beyondpod (another app from Google's market) is not compatible with these players.

Thx you so much in advance.

does onkyo player support replayGain ?  i have a lot various tracks  (electronic) with different level of volume - and the viper replayGain is a piece of ...... - so im looking for something that help  me to make gain as much as possible flat for all the tracks (flacs/dsds)

I think it is partly due to "Wi-Fi intelligent sleep" feature. You can find it at: Settings -> Wi-Fi -> three dot menu top right hand -> Advanced -> Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep -> set to "Always". Obvious downside, standby battery drain might increase.

This helped with my Wi-Fi issues. Thanks!

I have had my fiio x5 for over a week now and love it. I have been using it at work to listen to both lossless files and Spotify and it does everything brilliantly. I have been using neutron which I have also grown to really like. Just wondering as people mention synergy in these forums, what would be a good closed headphone to mostly play metal for under £300 be for this player?

Does that mean UAPP wont be able to play 24bit files on the x5iii?

can someone explain how to get Neutron to play above 48Khz 16bit ? otherwise i bought this for nothing and will ask for a refund in the play store.
