  For those complaining about battery duration, I am only guessing, but perhaps part of X5iii power consumption may be due to using a bridge chip for double microSD slots, as per the recent discussion in the DX200 thread:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 

Does the bridge chip allow you to look at both cards as if it were one card?  So presumably both cards sorted alphabetically into one by file view.  I am curios if the X7 or the X5-3 will get to an all tag environment, not needing the by category view different than the by folder view, and if the song names are driven by the tag names.

Personally, I just want to see what FiiO does with an AKM DAC

maybe they can ease the bass bloom from 4490, like some reduced or removed the glare from ess9018.

Not particularly X5III related, but this can be a saver for hiss-prone IEM.

That's definitely X5iii related! 

Cheers and thanks for your impressions!

yep , it can ,via coaxial out .

Does it output bitperfect data or does android upsample everything?

 Generally, it will be output at its orginal sampling rates.

This is an interesting thing, but is there any way to adjust volume without using the wheel? 
 
Also, the wheel is a digital wheel, no? I'm particulary curious how it feels and works since this could be really fun to play around with

you can adjust the volume on the touch screen  and it is digital wheel.

  Singapore is SGD 569 (suggested retail price)

manufacturers suggest this price doesnt equate to sellers selling at this price right? they could price it more expensive right?

They could but they won't.
 
I've almost never seen a brick and mortar store pricing anything higher than the MSRP, except in unique situations (with none coming to mind right now).

So in theory I could use android mode, install UAPP and output bit perfect to mojo over USB output?

 
Not just in theory, in practice as well:
 

With UAPP, you need to enable USB Tweak 1 and 2.
 

Of course, coax-out works fine as well.

It is Android, so external micro SD card will be named according to how Android work, which isn't one single card. I already show a picture of it previously.
 

 
Again, because it is Android, you don't need to stick to FiiO music app. You can use other music playing apps from Google playstore and some of them sort music differently.

The more pictures i see from you the more impatient i get to buy one. Really appreciate all the inputs by you and that excellent short first impression.
Keep it coming.

Do you have the chance to test either? 
 
Do you know what type of sound you want to go for? 
 
X5-3 seems like an amazing device so far. 

   
you can adjust the volume on the touch screen  and it is digital wheel. 

 
Thanks! 
 
That should do just fine

This might be just me, but the display looks rather good, like good colors and contrast. Outdoors usage and how easy to read it is would make an interesting question for it?...

Pretty sure is the SG resellers hiking up and not FiiO's choice.
