Another bug I am encountering.
 
Playing tidal streaming (wifi on). Have closed the fiio music app, turned on screen. Turn screen back on, it show album cover in tidal (album covers for fiio app are just not showing), music is playing but I get the fiio app overlayed on on top with a play symbol. I hit play, tidal stops ad fiio app start playing. I hit pause fiio app stops playing, tidal app continues to play. If I use the physical play/pause button (still in the lock screen) it will play and pause the tidal app, even though the fiio app is still overlayed on the tidal art and the play button is visible.
 
Force the fiio app to stop, tried again and same problem. Even though fiio app is forced stop it pops up on the lock screen on top of the currently playing tidal with a play symbol.
 
Edit: This is using coax out to mojo, seems to work fine with ho out.

  have you tried formatting the card in the X7?
 
go to settings > storage  and make sure you select the correct storage unit.
 
my own 200gb card was formatted in my x5.

 
Well to be sure I did use the Fiio - to erase and it and naturally  it re formatted to Fat32
 
Are you using PC?
 
I am starting to think this is Mac related 
 
If anyone is using a 200 gb with success, with a Mac, please chime in!

I'm using GNU/Linux

OS X also creates index files, so that may be the issue.

Looks fantastic, thank you.
 
Love the pink btw!

That is fuschia, not pink.

i really wonder if half the amps and DACs that get connected don't actually degrade the quality of the X7's sound. i think the soundstage is better when using the AM1 than it is using my E12DIY for instance. (i haven't tried to switch opamps and buffers to really test this. might do that later)

I think once the other amp modules are out the situation may change. But until then I need line out to a portable amp for my Hifiman 1000.
Also I also use line out via K5 to desktop amp as well.

I've been pondering about what exactly the I/O of the 11 port micro usb may be and i think I may have found the answer:

(The order of these I can not tell, without taking a multimeter to the device)
5 pin micro usb:
Ground
Ground(-5v)
Tx
Rx
+5v

6 FiiO pins:
Ground L
Ground R
Signal L
Signal R
Ground (power)
Power (power)

This basically means that it's possible to create a module with just a connector, amplification circuit, and USB passthrough the hardest thing is finding an 11 pin micro usb probably.

Time to get a breadboard and some knowledge.

Please be aware that this is all guesswork at this point, although deducted from known information (a module with balanced output, K5 has balanced output)

I'm using my adidas sock as case (seriously) - Photo: http://goo.gl/TQs0wG  I'm living in Turkey. How can I buy this beauty online?

What's that attachment connected to the X7 micro USB slot?

It's more money, but the Mojo is an amazing pairing for my he560s. I use the x7 as transport, coax to Mojo. The Mojo and x7 have equal quality sound imo, just subtle differences. I don't think amps like the e12 or c5 are up to the same quality of the x7 so I think you are degrading the quality of your x7 signal using an e12 variant.

I am yet to test Chord Mojo in Romania, but I always thought that it would be very different from X7. For you, it was very similar (the general signature)?

What specifically about those amps is not up to the quality of the X7? If you were to only look at the amplification section of the Mojo, ignore the DAC, how different are the amplifiers you mentioned?

But using the Mojo with the X7 would be a waste of the DAC in the DAP. I need to wait until the new modules are out and see how they compare with my external amps.
I use better amps than the E12 and C5.
Sound wise the X7 has a warmer sound and wider soundstage than the Mojo. The Mojo is more analytical and possibly more accurate but less enjoyable.

I think some people have been using various DAPs as transports only for the Mojo.
