FiiO X7 | DXD | DSD | 384K/64B | ESS9018+ Android | WiFi | Bluetooth | 4 AMP modules | Balanced Out |

oh man now I have to wait until I get v4a to be able to use neutron again, this is a bad position

FiiO told me V4A won't be compatible with the new SRC-bypassing modified audio stack structure of X7 on FW3.x until further notice.
But Neutron by itself does have powerful tone shaping options at least.

Try adjusting the first low shelf filter in Neutron like so:
1. go to EQ screen and hold the EQ button to bring up advanced menu (hold for a second then release; it won't pop up until you release your finger)
2. tap the cog next to "Band #1 (Low-shelf)
3. tap the Frequency, and Q radio buttons and adjust their numbers using the slider to read roughly as: Frequency: 1000Hz, Q: 0.3
4. tap the tick button on this screen and again on the next screen to confirm changes.
5. Now the leftmost EQ slider becomes a simple tone control slider, push it up to warm up the sound to taste.

Also maybe don't give up on V4A just yet--have you tried installing the latest version?

1. Open currently installed V4A, choose "uninstall driver".
2. Uninstall V4A the app itself.
3. Reboot.
4. Install the new V4A and reboot.
5. Go into V4A Settings, tap "Enter developer mode": tap OK to dismiss the warning the pops up.
6. Tap the new "Disable SELinux" item that appears; tap OK to confirm.
7. Try playing some music.

Are you using the "generic" audio driver in Neutron's audio hardware settings? (you need to)

Recently purchased the X7 combination with the AM5  , sounds absolutely supreme with my   AH-D600  . One of the threads on the player itself was missing , so having to return the whole thing . Also was not happy with playtime with AM5  .
Has anyone tried the X7 with the new A5 amp ???????? Any and all thoughts would be really appreciated !!!!

Maybe

One of the T5 screws maybe?

The 2 pre- made screw holes that hold the screws that hold the  modules , one of those had no threading  ! Made it real hard , almost impossible to remove that screw , the screw would not back out as you unscrewed , like unscrewing a screw stuck in butter , lol .

Today I've sold my X7 and I'm really happy to let it go. It never worked for me as I thought it would, because of bugs.
 
Sorry fiio but I will never buy any fiio product again.

​i truly like firmware 2 more than 3.08 as with my zeus r , I clearly hear that 3.08 is brighter with a bit less bass

what firmware  the sound will be more clearer?

he sold it as faulty or he didn't like the sound?
