@FiiO

Thanks for your effort and constant replies. This puts lot of us at ease.

Try also to see how Tracks are getting recorded. Different apps showing different track numbers is odd. Thanks again, looking forward to next update.

no they are not, nor playlists you may have built on the X5.

Cool, are the internal playlists now text files that can be edited externally or does it still maintain two seperate types of playlist (internal/external)?

Dear FiiO,

Bit rate 32/192 - Vinyl Rip - 2,4GB, difficult to send it to you. Trying to test files by myself.
Maybe problem with WavPack format? Anyway, installed in X5 Foobar for Android playing flawless.

Thank you again for your care.

I think it's been mentioned previously that the Fiio app doesn't do wavpack.

Ah my downloaded album from spotify always wiped out when i turned off x5

When using htc10 i never got this problem.. Oh crap

Hey Fiio. Is the screen made of glass or plastic
But for sure included applies screen protector is tempered glass.

Looks like a holiday for Fiio. So probably no firmware update until after

i don't mind Fiio taking as much time as they need to deliver a stable a relatively bug free firmware.

A lot of people complaining about the next firmware taking too much time to be delivered are often the same complaining about bugs not being fixed when getting very frequent updates.

Hello fellow X5 3G-ers,

First, a sincere thank you to this forum for influencing my portable audio purchases over the years: Senn HD-25, ATH-ESW9, IE-80 & IE-800, Fiio X5 ii & iii (and probably more I can’t remember).

I’ve been a very content X5 iii user for a month now. Zero issues syncing/updating content from two Macbook Pros. Suddenly yesterday, my X5 iii will no longer mount / won’t enter Android file transfer mode when connected to a Macbook. It does show the device as charging when connected to a Mac, and will reach full charge, but will not mount on any desktop. As far as troubleshooting, I’ve tried the following:

-Tried multiple issue-free USB cables
-Tried multiple Macbooks/issue-free USB ports
-Executed a factory data reset/rebooted numerous times
-Removed and re-inserted both MicroSD cards successfully (current library is loading fine)
-Confirmed the device is in Android Mode
-Confirmed the device is set to storage and not USB DAC
-Checked for firmware updates

I’m at a total loss. Has anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions? Huge thanks in advance.

Best,
Andrew

Try this https://www.android.com/filetransfer/ , always worked on my recently retired Mac with Android devices. Can't explain why it worked and then didn't.

A lot of people complaining about the next firmware taking too much time to be delivered are often the same complaining about bugs not being fixed when getting very frequent updates.

I agree completely. FiiO is in a "Catch 22" situation...everybody wants frequent fixes and updates to the firmware or complains if it "takes too long" (how long is that, by the way? Quesound averaged 3 to 4 months between updates for the QP1R, when I had it, and it had several issues...bugs to me...that still needed fixin', but I digress). On the other hand, "we" tend to complain if too few things are fixed in the frequent updates. (Did y'all get all that?)

Frequent firmware updates most likely equate to fewer fixes/improvements. The question is, do you want weekly firmware updates that fix few issues, or less frequent updates that actually have a significant number of fixes or improvements?

That's the pickle we are putting FiiO into...you know, that small company with just a few engineers for firmware fixes (?)... No, everybody isn't going to be instantly happy, but their (FiiO's) support sure beats the heck out of some of the TOTL gear makers I've dealt with...

My two pennies...All above is IMHO and YMMV...

Cheers! (Okay, this is nuts...please make it full size again and I want all our Head-Fi emoji's back! Wait...did I say that aloud..?)

P.S. - Yes, I know...I'll rant about site formatting on that other thread. Sorry, I was on a roll...

I mostly use the fiio app in pure music mode, but sometimes listen to new music with other apps. i have found that the hardware buttons: volume, play/ pause,next /previous song only work about half the time with the third party apps i am using. I use Napster/rhapsody and have also tested with pandora. when i find the buttons are not working a reboot brings them back. . I also use the fiio Bluetooth remote at times, and when the hardware buttons dont work its the same for the remote. Its a little frustrating, and wondering if i am missing a setting somewhere. does this also happen for those using spotify and tidal?

Is it me or is the new site layout discouraging more people from posting. Honestly I haven't seen so few a post in a day on this thread like ever. But then maybe I'm just stupid. Viva X5 III

Heck, just figuring out how to post is a challenge, along with editing, seeing who's online, or even getting to the end of the thread...

But I LOVE my FiiO X5 Gen 3! (had to stay OT too...)

Cheers! (*sigh*)

Thank God! I already was afraid I was getting old and stupid . The "new" Head-Fi is really not easy to use. But fortunately the X5 III is reducing the pain......
