Hold your horses!! wait for 4 GB RAM and maybe a Mediatek processor SoC with BT 5.0 and 4 AKM DAC chips
Btw the X5 III is playing ELO like a boss!

I have the same issue from time to time, annoying but i keep in mind that it's a test version. Otherwise Neutron is much faster than Fiio Music,, displays album art more efficiently (some of my album art is not displayed by Fiio Music but fine in Neutron), displays titles correctly (no chinese characters anymore unlike Fiio Music) etc.

The X7 mkII uses a desktop ESS9028 Pro 8 channel DAC which is like the equivalent of 4x AK4490EN DAC chips, not the ESS9028S which is a mobile 2 channel variant. The 8 channels can be used as reference channels to reduce noise, and they can be used in a balanced configuration. Just letting you know for information purposes. The ESS9028 Pro is not an insignificant component compared to multiple 2 channel DACs and it has respectable specs.

I have just received my replacement X5III after the USB charging died at 4 months.
Along with this charging issue, my old X5III would not connect to my USB 3.0 ports, I had hoped that this was caused by the faulty USB on my dead X5III, however, my new X5III does not connect with USB 3.0.
This is a ridiculous long term issue. Why is it that the old X5II will connect with USB 3.0 but this new X5III will not?
When are you going to correct this?
Being able to connect a player to a computer is the most basic of functions, please get this sorted.

My Macbook has USB 3.0 ports and the Fiio X5iii connects and is recognised by the laptop.
Like you, however, I had problems connecting at first. The following replies from Fiio might be of help:
1. If you want to make the X5III work as a DAC, you should change the Storage mode to DAC mode firstly.
While in Android mode, please pull down the settings menu from the upper of the X5III's touch screen and click on "Storage" icon, then it will be changed to "USB DAC".
2. But if the X5III is set to Storage mode, it will not work?
When running Storage mode, if you connect the unit with the computer via USB, the "USB mass storage interface" will show up on the touchscreen, and you will be required to click "TURN ON USB STORAGE" on the X5III's screen.

I have an issue with firmwares 1.1.5 - 1.1.7 (latest): Fiio music crashes right away or after a few songs played. This happens both when playing from SD card and internal memory. Has anyone had the same issue? 1.1.4 is fine, but I do not want to be stuck with non-updatable firmware. Neutron and Poweramp play the same music just fine on these FW versions. Sent an e-mail to support and asked for a replacement (since nobody seems to be experiencing the same issue), but nothing specific in responses so far.
The logs show the following worrying messages:
id3: Problem reading datatype within Frame Body:byte array is to small to retrieve string of declared length
id3: An error occurred within abstractID3v2FrameBody for identifier:USLT:byte array is to small to retrieve string of declared length
id3: Corrupt Frame:byte array is to small to retrieve string of declared length
Choreographer: Skipped XX frames! The application may be doing too much work on its main thread

That's budget, where the X5iii is mid fi.
Hi Joseph!
I apologize for the delayed reply!
Thank you for your valuable information and tests.
It looks like internally for Android OS's audio flinger core the 192
kHz frequency is a maximum. In a new dev version (getting ready)
Neutron will test supported frequencies so that it will not fail
completely and will show only valid onces.
> - FLAC 24bit/352.8kHz: working
In logs I can see that Fiio's music player is converting to 176.4 kHz
(AudioTrack-JNI: sampleRate=176400, audioFormat(from Java)=10, channel
mask=c, buffSize=963376), e.g. downsapling by 2. So, it looks like so
far 192 kHz is max even for Fiio's music player, if I am not mistaken.
As to DSD64 and DSD128 it looks like Fiio's music player is sending
DSD data directly using ENCODING _DTS and ENCODING _DTS_HD, e.g. not
in DOP because DOP requires 2x times higher frequency for DSD128 and
we know max is 192 kHz.
Direct DSD will be a new task to do because currently Neutron sends
DOP in PCM containers and it is ok for all USB DACs.
Thank you again for your kind help and information!
Best regards,
Dmitry.
