why just wait till we open the box ? 

any projected ETA for when this update might drop?

So am I the only X7 owner that's having this problem of tracks not playing when selected from the folder view:

I just zapped mine to factory settings seemed to fix the problem. File not found issue is no longer.

Maybe, just maybe there is something wrong with the files.

Hey all,
 
Not sure if this is too off-topic, but I was recently able to take a tour of FiiO's factory. See the link below:

And yes, I actually did take some pictures of the X7 on the assembly floor.
 
Hopefully somebody finds this interesting!

  Hi,
 
this has been happening at mine end too, it was when I had some hidden files stored in the sd card by OS X.
 
Do a full directory listing of that directory - isn't it possible that there is something else (possible hidden file, or non music file) in that folder?
 
Cheers.

 
I love this site!  Thanks everybody for your useful feedback. OSiRiSsk (hope I spelt that right?!) was spot on. This was exactly my problem. It seems the X7 doesn't like the .* files that OSX creates.
Wow, I think I have a fully functional X7 at this stage. Thanks again folks!

Received the AM2.

Happy to report that it drives the 600 ohm DT880 perfectly. I have a new appreciation for the modular amplification design of the X7 - it's pretty great not having to stack devices together to get proper amplification from a DAP!

It's not off thread at all! 
 
Very cool!

I get the same problem too. I also find the default player very poor from a navigational perspective.

Try connecting your X7 to a Mac or Linux computer in USB mode and type this in one of your album folders:

ls -la

You'll probably see some additional junk there - files that look like .track_name or ._.track_name. This was my problem. After deleting all .* files, everything works fine. Navigation via folders now allows any listed track to play instantly.

Just got my Tour unit and downloaded Tidal and putting some songs on there. Tidal did quit on its own a few times but all is downloaded now.

Just got my AM3. Seems like it's noticeably louder than the AM5 in balanced mode with the HD800S. Impressive.

 

[edwardsean]

i plugged in the AM3 without any warning. I don't have an account either.

Wanna know what beats the pants off rubber bands?
 
All this talk about modules -  the E12 was feeling lonely.
I thought a mini show & tell was in order.
 


I don't know if anyone is already doing this or even using the E12 for the X7
But this makes the perfect lounging around the house rig for me.
 


Snaps right in - 5 seconds or less to go from:
 


To this:
 


After trying the Am5 - I found larger fun factor here, plus battery life on both counts.
AND a volume knob!
Completely harmless double sided clear mount tape.

 

[White Lotus]

Fantastic - love it!
 
I wonder what the size difference is between X7 + AM0 and the E12?
 
If only we had a volume knob module for the X7 

 

[warrior1975]

Volume knob is an excellent suggestion... Definitely miss having one.

Very informative. Fascinating to see the meticulous processes at work.

Perhaps you had the privilege of seeing my incoming AM3 handcrafted?
