Nice, I tried to solder one of those TRRS plugs and they are way too small for my poor solder skill set. How about a photo of the plug with cap unscrewed to satisfy my curiosity.

Maybe the next one. I typically cover the solder connections with Shrink tubing. It would be nearly impossible to remove the tubing and get another on without un-soldering the connector all over again.

Hint: 1. Get a decent iron and a pointed tip. 2. use an X-Acto knife to scratch the soldering points on the plug and then tin them. 3. Lastly, you can do the shield and tip straight on, but the Ring 1 and Ring2 would be easiest if you do them at 45 degree angles (either side) or more (greater angle if possible).

I have some iems that are pretty hard to drive with a standard MMCX 3.5mm cable. Two options:

a) buy a nice MMCX balanced 2.5mm cable, about $100-150

or

b) stack with the FiiO A5, $129

Onkyo music app works great on the X5III.

are you using the HF player from the play store, or the onkyo app built for the DP-1X? Also are you sure the app is using both dacs and not defaulting to the android dac?

whats the easiest way to get bass boost?
Paying for Viper or doing it via Fiio App EQ?

VIPER BASS ----------> 50 cent €

I think it is Onkyo app in the Fiio market. I compare the Onkyo app to Fiio's own music app, and found the former much engaging.

Don't know the terminology but may be the Onkyo app's high is tuned in a way to my liking. But I also found the UI of Onkyo's not very user-friendly. Maybe it is a free version but the app itself could not display most of the album artwork. I also needed quite some time to figure out where to locate the music folders. It really puts me off and prevents me to buy the full-functions app.

All my pics are gone....here's one.

Onkyo app does not have a folder view paid or not . It converts everything to PCM but will play DSD up to 11.2Mhz and 5.1 DSD and convert it to stereo.The Paid version will not do you any good on the Fiio X5iii till they get the USB out to work. I do us the one in the fiio store and it did update after I installed it.

Can the X5iii store tidal files for offline use on SD card? Thanks.

 

[Cheaplad]

Shame.

Can the X5iii store tidal files for offline use on SD card? Thanks.

yes

 

[zerolight]

Thanks James! I can use both SD slots to maximise Tidal storage right, or just one?

I'm considering ordering one of these to replace the unreliable and bulky cable setup I use with my iPhone 7 Plus + Chord Mojo. I exclusively use offline streaming services - Tidal, Spotify, Apple Music. I expect I will switch over to Tidal Hifi.

Tidal stores offline music per default on the internal memory.
Per settings you can choose the first SD card for storage ...
There is no way to store offline content on the second SD card ...

 

[zerolight]

Thanks for the clarification.

 

[HaPeKa]

When you have a Tidal HiFi subscription, you'll able to listen to master quality files on the PC.

However, master titles are not supported on an Android device.

James,
Aren't you supposed to be on Holiday for a while longer..?
Maybe I have my time zones confused...is it the 2nd of May there already?

Cheers and All the Best!

Is the same true for Spotify and Apple Music? Are we able to store offline music on the internal memory (or maybe even on one of the SD cards)?
