  Hi FiiO
 
I currently have an X5 3rd Gen on order, having owned 5 FiiO DAPS before from the X3 to the X7. I would like to know however, when the next firmware update is to be released and what issues it addresses.
 
I think a lot of people who have actually purchased their X5iii and potential owners would also like to know also.

Fiio wouldn’t/shouldn’t do that until the engineers have thoroughly tested the new innovations for conflicts and new bugs.
 
As the rep would put it “not to disappoint”.

Look up a few post to look up the definition of "disappointed"

Now that is the definition of “cruel and unusual punishment”.

As I said, the Fiio does indicate that it's charging when I plug it in.  It just no longer seems to detect that it's plugged in and give me that "transfer files" screen.  Is there anyway to get to that screen directly?  Or is it only an auto-pop up? 

 
You should be able to access the USB connection screen manually after plugging in your X5III by pulling the notification bar down from the top of the screen and tapping the white box that reads "USB connected. Touch to copy files to/from your...". When you tap that, is displays the USB mass storage screen that normally pops up automatically when you first connect the X5III to a USB connection.

Hi There
 
Just arrived the Fiio X5, it's not exactly the worst stuff I have heard but ... in the pole position of worst yes.
It's screaming, more with FLAC less with MP3, the interface seems to have been designed from someone coming from far planet ... like pluton.
 
It's not slow as someone told ... not really slow but is a huge buggy 
 
The DLNA woldn't work
The digital ou wouldn't work too
 
I guess I send it back tomorrow to amazon with my best wishes
 
Cheers

@terriblenewby  Have you tried updating the firmware?

 

[HaPeKa]

Very strange, terriblenewby ... 
 
Screaming with FLAC?
Maybe you should change your headphone or your songs  
Can't imagine, that you're the only one with that behaviour ...
 
I really love the way, my FLACs are reproduced on X5 III ...

I am surprised to hear that about advancedmp3players, I bought both my X5II and my X5III from them.
 
Both were purchased with 10% discounts plus quidco cashback on top, so I only paid £327.00 for my X5III.  My X5III even arrived next day free of charge through Amazon's shared stock system.

I used them often too.
Did you pre order yours?
My topcashback still not tracked.

Wow! I couldn't get DNLA to work either, but many people did. I solved my problem by installing Foobar. Maybe you are being a little hasty?
Pluton? I guess you mean Pluto - I admit I can be a bit of a wise-arse, but Pluto is no longer recognised as a planet.....

 

[javre76]

Well, except in Illinois and New Mexico 

For the record, Pluto in Spanish is Pluton. Lot of people talking badly about poor great X5iii... really do not know why, maybe they should spend doble the money and get 1/8 of the benefit...

Did you burn in for a few hours? I'd suggest at least a 100hrs in balanced to decide.

Well you guys have to understand there will always be guys that don't like a sound for whatever reason it may be. I have never read a thread that has 100% satisfied users on any dap I have ever read up on. 
 
I have been using my X5iii with my CKR10. Modest little portable get up but this combo has been crazy good for me. As good as my IDSD BL is I can't tell much of a difference when I am using the CKR10 SQ wise. That says a lot about the X5iii SQ.  
 
It is only when I am using full sized cans there is much more difference.

It's true that there will always be different opinions of DAPs (different audio preferences, IEM's, headphones, equipment faults etc) but terriblenewbys comments were so extreme and at variance with pretty well any post on this forum that it was bound to generate a "shocked" response. Maybe it's a language thing?

I guys I come from IBASSO DX 80 wich is better ... (I speak about sound, power, and musicality), AK100 wich is better, IDSD  nano is better  ... 
 
About DLNA I have Synology offering DLNA service for audio and video .... so a kind of standard ...Yes, I can install foobar on PC as well but I wouldn't make my life more complex than already is.

 

[Choosy]

Yes this is not totally bad (this is quite correct) ... but it should not solve software issue
