FW update sometime this week!
in other news across the threads, the X7II is tormenting me and @Hawaiibadboy is tempting all of us with those luscious pictures of the gorgeous device.
Anyone want a X5 III + A5 :)

I have both USB and coaxial cables and did not experience any skipping. Actually I use the Mojo with x3ii using coaxial cable and there was no skipping either.

As I said a few days ago, the USB connection works for the Fiio music app but minor noise does appear occasionally. And for some unknown reasons, the music was resampled and the cable does not support DSD files altogether.

On the other hand, the line-out using coaxial cable to Mojo works perfectly (only the cable is too long for carrying around).


Yeah it looks like I have a defective unit. I'm definitely returning it now.

Hi thank you for the reply
can you explain me how to set n-vehicle mode or switch the USB mode to DAC the x5iii i am not so expert
thank you so much

Read the manual, really.

Also what are you trying to use the X5-3 for? You want to use it as a source in your car? If yes you'd better use bluetooth or a jack output for that. Most cars don't accept sound input from the USB, I know my 2016 Peugeot 208 can't do that.

Dear friend,

You can go to System settings--vehicle mode to turn on the vehicle mode. Or pull down from the status bar to switch to DAC mode in order avioding going to storage mode.

Best regards

Just received the fiio RC-MMCXB cable. Using the titan 3 in balanced .. sounds pretty darned good.

I also recently upgraded my Sony XBA-300 with a Fiio RC-SE1B balanced cable and was blown away with the SQ improvement. Only balanced from now on!

If Fiio fixed the third party apps not playing at native 192 files then I hope they add that to x5 iii firmware as it was promised on launch but failed to deliver.
Then they come up with excuses saying Dev of the app needs to fix.
