Hi, after purchasing the x3 a few weeks ago I am now the proud owner of the fiio x5. Really nice.....

But I have a doubt. I have set the gapless reproduction but it seems not to work, at least on HD tracks. There is a gap that albeit brief, spoils the lsitening experience in classic music recordings. Am I right or am I doing something wrong?

I don't know about the x5, but with the x3 gapless will only work properly when playing by folder (not using the database).

I was playing by category album, and I have just tried folder playing and the gap is still there.....

That would be a deal breaker for me. If it can't do seamless true gapless playback, I no longer want it.
 
To quote from the manual

Gapless playback means going from one music file to the next without a pause
in between. Enable gapless playback on the X5 by entering Play settings from
the main menu and setting the Gapless playback option to On. (Note: gapless
playback is not supported in shuffle and loop-single-song modes.)

It has been sorted in the fiio x5 thread, page 470, my firmware version is 1.20 and new beta version 1.23 sorts the problem. So all I need to do is to upgrade the firmware

Well that's good news...
Was it a bug introduced in 1.20 or has it been an issue from the earliest firmware?
