Does the fiio X7 support aptx-HD. I went to the aptx website and it states that it does. I want to be able to confirm this. Thanks

No it doesn't. Not sure if FiiO plans on implementing it in a future update but I wouldn't hold my breathe.

 

[FiiO]

New firmware 3.3.3 compared to FW 3.3.0:

• Moving through FiiO Music is very more slowly and less responsive (responds slower).
• Removed the option to move the icons in the main/first screen of FiiO Music.

(Returning again to FW 3.3.0)

Also:

• Is desesperating and frustrating not seeing the full folder/album/song/playlist name when browsing/exploring by library or folders (like various lines) in order to search or detect two albums with similar names:
  
  For example, i have this different edtions/versions for an album:
  1973 Tubular Bells (2009 Stereo Mixes by Mike Oldfield) (44 kHz) - Mike Oldfield
  1973 Tubular Bells (R2001 Virgin) (DSD64) - Mike Oldfield
  1973 Tubular Bells (R2009 Original 1973 Stereo Mixes) (44 kHz) - Mike Oldfield
  1973 Tubular Bells (R2011 SHM Mercury) (DSD64) - Mike Oldfield
  
  And actually X7 only shows this, impossible to recognize the different edtions/versions:
  1973 Tubular Bells (... z) - Mike Oldfield
  1973 Tubular Bells (... 4) - Mike Oldfield
  1973 Tubular Bells (... z) - Mike Oldfield
  1973 Tubular Bells (... 4) - Mike Oldfield
  
  The same for example with various playlist for the same artist like "Prince and The Revolution (The Best).m3u8", "Prince and The Revolution (Rock Selection).m3u8" showing "Prince and The Revolut....).m3u8" and "Prince and The Revolut....).m3u8" respectively. Desesperating and frustrating.

Also more suggestions (maybe one day, or year):

• Allow to Queue a song to be the next to play when the actual playing song finished.
• Allow Fast Forward/Rewind by long pressing next or previous song key.
• Allow to skip to next song in the next album or folder by pressing or long pressing or two pressing a key.
• Allow lyrics from TAGS: LYRICS and UNSYNCED_LYRICS.
• More use of embedded TAGS: Disc Number, Composer, Year, Ratings, etc.
• Allow library to search, order and select by composer, year, ratings, etc.
• Allow Fonts size selection for Fiio Music App. Some people has eye visibility problems.
• Allow more than one artist, genre, etc. in tags separated by semicolon "Pop Rock; Pop; Rock".
• Allow landscape mode. Like other Android players.

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. Firstly, thanks a lot for such detailed feedback and support to the X7.
We will report your suggestions to our engineers and consider the availability first.
As for the display of the album/file names, previously, we add '...' for the latter words which can't be shown. And now we add '...' for the centred words. However, seems those two are still not a proper display. We are also trying to find a better way for this issue. It would be appreciated if you would have any suggestion about this as well.
Best regards

Hi,
The X7 doesn't support Aptx-hd. We have contacted Qualcomm for modifying but seems they haven't done by now. Sorry if bringing inconvenience to you.
Best regards

Suggestions for the album/folders/files name:

• Two Lines or three lines like other programs like foobar do (see the last image in the last post on http://fiio.me/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=42713&extra=page=2)
• The left Folder icon can be very, very, very more small. (Actually is very big: see the second last image in the last post on http://fiio.me/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=42713&extra=page=2)
• The right Play icon can be moved right much more. (Actually there is a big space beetween the Play icon and the right limit of the screen: see the second last image in the last post on http://fiio.me/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=42713&extra=page=2)
• A Narrow Font or Small Font (is better a Narrow Font)
  
• Auto Adjusting font size or lines according the lenght of the album/folders/files name

Take note that with FW 3.3.3 is constantly stoping/pausing playing for a second or more in the first 5 seconds of a song. Also sometimes this happens all over the duration of a song 3 or 4 times. I'm playing from an OTG USB Pendrive with no issues in FW 3.3.0.

1) So far no issues on 3.3.3. Sounds have changed dramatically imho. It seems like tonality have switched from copper to silver. It feels like there are more details, more air, more clarity, but it become a little bit sharper and overall perception of the song seems like plastic. It is weird description, but description of feelings in words is weird thing itself. It feels like all instruments become sound closer to you. Bass (and the whole spectre of frequencies) is definitely become more relieved and precise. Separation become better as well.
2) again, this DAP is so cool and luxurious. I have got so much pleasure using it for more than a year now. Stylish, comfortable, original and very pleasing in the process of usage. Regular firmwares. No device ever got such support and renewal.
3) Usually I'm using white 3d theme. Which is clear and amazing. I was lying in the bad and the light from display of x7 was so bright...I was like - how it can be fixed? Then somehow I remembered that there is Black theme. I turned it on and it was just fantastic and relaxing.
4) Today was my first upgrade via the air. From the internet. Not through the sd card. Everything went smooth and quickly.
5) So far tested only on graphene mx 760.
6) The only thing, which bugs me a lot is: it does not matter what headphones I plug in into am1, it is always only left channel working. I need to turn it left and right and somehow else, so that sound will come equally to both channels. I do know know what it is, but I do not think it is the way x7 or am1 should work. Have anybody else had such issues as me?

Playing a M3U8 playlist in FiiO Music with repeated songs, continues to play in the second iteration of the repeated song, if it is in the first iteration of that song, beeing playing continuesly in a loop.

Example: Consider a playlist like this:

1. First Song
2. Second Song
3. Third Song
4. Fourth Song
5. Fifth Song
6. Sixth Song
7. Third Song <----- (Repeated)
8. Seventh Song
9. Eighth Song

Before the 7 Position (Third Song repeated) continues playing to the 4 position (Fourth Song) and when reaches the 7 position again, return to the 4 position again continuesly in a loop. Never reaches the 8 position (Eighth Song)

My X7 keeps randomly crashing since I updated to firmware 333, and no Replaygain. Still waiting.

I've been using v3.3.3 for a week and had 1 freeze on the initial use after the upgrade.

I do tend to clear the database and flush out any rubbish from the usual directories before an upgrade and then just re-scan my media afterwards.
It's only used offline with flacs but has been rock solid.

Hi,
Would you mind sending the folder from internal_sd\FiiOMusic\crash to us and help confirming what operation lead to the crash?
Best regards
