Hi

[color=rgb(33, 33, 33)] Unfortunately I found some problems: streaming from a nas is unusable; if you try to connect freezes and an error message; if you use music Hiby It works even if often disconnects. I have no problems with spotify. Someone has encountered the same problem?[/color]

Dear Pietruccio,
 
NAS may not be compatible with the X5III now. We will consider whether adding this function in the future.
 
Best regards

@Pietruccio
 
I have about 75'000 songs on my Synology NAS. 
 
To listen to the music, I installed the Logitech Media Server and use several Squeezeplayer to stream music to different rooms at home and to the office.
 
On FIIO X5-III I installed the Android SB Player and the Squeeze Ctrl apps.
 
With these apps, X5 acts as a Squeezeplayer and streams songs from the NAS like a charm ...

Ok Thank you.

Just checking in, has the cable been received by whomever I shipped it to?
It is showing delivered.


EDIT: Whoooops, wrong thread.

Hi FIIO, I hope you have tested the mechanics of the SDtray ... It will have to survive at least 500 take outs each.
 
I have everyday something to add to the SDcard, and taking it out to transfer the files on the computer is the only way to do it in a reasonable time.

Just tried to log into this forum on the tour review X5iii!

But of course I've forgotten the damn password!

USB audio player pro doesn't work streaming tidal. I get a lot of loud static in the songs. I couldn't even tell what was playing. Anyone else experience this?

FiiO has said they will get USB audio output working properly in a future fw update. I really hope they focus on it soon as it is an advertised feature.

Wow.  I thought using the NAS would be a requirement for this unit.  I have recently written a few posts about this issue also.

What exactly do you want to do with your NAS? What NAS do you have?

Every NAS supplier offer a software bundle to use certain functions.
 
Synology for example has a Media Server app, that turns the NAS into a UPnP / DLNA server. 
Or they offer an Android app (DS music), that allows to stream music from an Android device.

It is not fair to say: streaming from NAS is impossible. It depends ...
 
And that's the reason, why Android on X5 is such a plus. I'm shure you'll find an app that does the job if you can't do it with the built in FIIO music app ...
