What is the actual issue with the embedded art that you removed? Was it too large?
No, all my cover art are the same size (500*500 pixels)

Would it not be better for Fiio to fix the player to read variations of embedded art?
I said this before, and I reiterate the sentiment again. The Encore is the best pairing I've come across for the X5. This DAP benefits from a monitor with enough attack to bring some life to this player.
The fact that there is such a huge difference in features/functionality between Android and Fiio's "Pure" mode pushed me to return my X5III.
In Android mode it offers no real advantage over any other Android based product, even some of the newer smartphones.
The major deal breaker for me was that my offline music from Tidal is not accessible in "Pure" mode, pretty much negating the advantage of paying for one of those services.

Is better SQ not a advantage over android phones?
I feel like you have missed the point of the X5iii entirely.
Check out the specs in a phone like the Axon ZTE 7. Does the new X5 sound better in Android than it? Perhaps, for discerning listeners.
It wasn't a big enough difference for me to justify$400. In "Pure" mode it's noticeable but again, that defeats all the "connected" features that services like Tidal and Spotify bring.
And that point is? A DAP that is great for people without a connected device like a smartphone?
