Headphoneus Supremus
Yes I know, apps like poweramp have been bypassing this limitation and adding support for various DACs, On the forum they want people to report what DAC it currently dont work on and they will try and add it.
So it is possible IF the app developers see fit to bypass it for X5iii.
Terminology is important on a public forum or else myths and rumours start. You can not physically bypass the DAC in the X5-3, there is no other hardware to convert the digital sampled data to a continuous analogue signal in the X5-3. If you bypass the DAC you'll get no sound output through the headphone jacks.
Poweramp is looking for a list of High Res audio support, which is, again, is bypassing a limitation of the Android operating system, not the DAC or the apps ability to use the DAC. Good on them for looking for input from users regarding different devices.
The way I see it, it's up to each app developer to support a device and not up to FiiO to make sure every app works, except their own.
