I have one of these coming tomorrow, a couple of places in Switzerland suddenly went from mid March availability to having the titanium version in stock.
I was deciding between the Pioneer XDP-300R (similar price from Japan) and the Fiio. The Fiio x5 3rd Gen won out due to it's size, it looks like it might actually fit in my pocket as opposed to the Pioneer.
It will be interesting to see how the X5 sounds with my FLC8S, I also have a balanced cable coming for the FLC8S as the stock cable is incredibly microphonic.
X5-3 should fit more than comfortable in any pocket, but I would advice only using it in very loose pants to not damage the cable and the jack
Also, to slide it faster in and out of pockets, the leather case is a heaven sent gift as the silicone case is quite grippy (good for handling, but bad for fast pocketing the device)
Hi guys, been a stalker on these forums for a while.
Just got my X5 3rd gen yesterday and noticed something odd - the battery indicator in the status bar does not change from 50%. It is always stuck - the player has been on pretty much all the time since barring a few restarts and a firmware update and has been charged but still 50%.
Just wanted to ask if anyone else has been experiencing this? If not, might need to be warrantied back. Disappointing
Canceled mine with B&H Photo. They said it will be the middle of the month and don't know how many they will get. Bad way to do business Fiio. Already have a X3 and X5ii so not to worried about getting this one.Use my Phone more than anything, Maybe I'll wait for a good high quality sounding phone.

I forgot to do the overnight battery drain test, but from a full charge this morning with Wifi/BT off and now 3.5 hrs later its dropped to 96% from 100% so looking like 1% per hour.

Hi James, thanks for the quick reply! I have tried that but it is still at 50%. I have included a picture to show that in the battery history in settings it does not look correct. I can't upload yet so here is a link to a google drive pic:

I thoroughly enjoyed the combo. With the FLC8S set to my tastes, filter-wise; the combination was quite adequate. That was how I spent the vast majority of our time together.
I am really glad to see Fiio has a hit on its hands. The last Fiio Dap I had was the X5 and this is the first one to garner my attention since then. I will probably pass only because of the documented reports of hissing particularly in the balanced output.
