Could you check the battery charging time? From, let say 10% to full. Thanks!

 
I'm interested in the battery life too

  @JamesFiiOIs there a planned date for the USB DAC functionality to be provided? Will it be before international shipping?

 
I believe the X5iii already has USB DAC functionality - you just need to get the updated Fiio driver from their Chinese website (it's not on the English website since there has been no international release yet I assume).
 
Just go to this link: http://www.fiio.cn/story/539
 
At the bottom of the page, there should be a link next to something that has the words "USB DAC" and some Chinese characters. Click on that to download the new USB DAC driver.
 
It should work, though I haven't tried it myself.

Yes, the USB DAC is working now, and the USB audio output still has some issues but it works with our E17K and some USB DAC/AMPs

 Yep , it can , but it is unnecessary to format it if your card is working well.

About the issues that some APPs can't store the music to extra mSD card, we now can make it work but the problem is that you can't store to build in memory anymore.  still waiting the final solution from Rockchip.

At least that's a start! I am keeping my fingers crossed that Rockchip come out with a solution where both storages can be used.
 
Could you please throw some light on FW 1.0.9 and why i can't get the USB DAC to work.
 
thanks
