you did what now?

I did, I was just wondering about the new Fiio X5III as compared to X7?

 

[AtlanticProSnd]

  Fair point. unfortunately, I'm too inexperienced (or disinterested for that matter) with DLNA so I really don't know what else to tell you.
 
There's always the arise sound mod, It uses the FiiO driver (or so it sounds a hell of a lot like it) but lets you use customization to your liking as well. I'm curious what you think, being a professional sound engineer and all!
 
Neutron is sounding better than ever for me, and I'm sure it will personally work better for you than anything out there due to your adamant preferences, much like myself; but to each his own.

cough

What audio driver does Neutron say it's using and also what's the highest resolution?
Thanks!

  Dear Zike,
 
Are there another APP working in the background when this happens? Will the issue remain same if you used the recommended 5V,2A charger?
 
Best regards

 
I think I figured out the issue.
 
The USB port of the X7 is rated 2.0 (and not 3.0) so it does not receive more than 0.5A from my computer which seems to not be enough to drive the X7 when playing. (maybe because of the HD800S being a 300 Ohms headphone)
 
I connected it through a Micro USB cable to an Anker Powerport+ charger and now it stays charged at 100% all the time.

That's great!  Sometimes we need to think outside the box.  Good for you!

X5iii pretty much end game for me. Review almost finished. Hope to have it done before I leave Sunday for 1 week biz trip.

Does this mean we have to wait for your X5iii review until you return from the business trip next week?

It's a modified AudioTrack (JNI). 48kHz, yet, the similarity between it and fiio music is like uncanny valley (With ICESound #Default w/ "Wideclarity" at least). I'm using a FLC 8S with the AM2, I've had no need to upgrade yet honestly.
 
Also, I know it's been said before, but 5.1.1 is just a reskinned 4.4.2, which causes a $#!t ton of compatibility issues. See; Xposed, Viper.
I've had people tell me it isn't working for them, and I'm STILL trying to figure out why. Maybe I should try the older 4.4 ver Vipers? Hmmm.
Let's hope the X7 Gen 2 makes a better impression, snapdragon, anyone? Anyways, you go check it out. Good luck!

  Wating for the scanning fix and international characters correct displaying.
 
Sugestions:

1. Allow various artists, genres, etc. in a TAG separated by semicolon.
2. Allow lyrics from TAGS: LYRICS and UNSYNCKED_LYRICS.
3. More use of ID3 TAGS: Track Number, Disc Number, Artist, Composer, Year, Ratings.
4. Allow library to search, order and select by ratings.
5. Allow Fonts size selection for Fiio Music App. Some people has eye visibility problems.
6. Allow landscape mode. Like other Android players.
7. Allow to Queue a song to be the next to play when the actual playing song finished.

 
Make the FiiO Player the best Android Player in the world that actually not exist. Sometimes in the past like iRiver H-100 Series and Rockbox.

Dear JaviAl,
 
Thank you for the feedback and suggestions. We will report to the engineers and product manager. Sorry for bringing incovenience to you.
 
Best regards

@Fiio has there been a fix yet for the player freezing when the screen goes to sleep?
I wanted to check before going through the process of updating and cleaning memory again.
I also still cannot connect to the Rm1 remote anymore and this is on 3.1.5

Dear ddtdave,
 
In what condition will the freezing happens as you mentioned? You were playing the music or running some other APP at the same time?
Can your RM1 collect your phones successfully? What will appear in the X7 when you try to search the RM1?
 
Best regards

BUG's and Suggestions
 
. When the button play/pause is used with the Screen off, sometimes the music is played but with no sound at all.
 
. When I use the play/pause button and press Itajubá again to play the music, it has some music distortion and some agressive clippings. Something like a fade out (for pause) and fade in (for play) or something like it will reduze the problem and will be very interesting.
 
. Using the Play/Pause button, sometimes the music jumps some seconds after the button use.
 
. Characters problems when the music or artist use letters like 'ç', 'ã', 'á', 'é', 'ê', 'í' on their names
 
. When the 'Search' function is selected the X7 freezes for some seconds and gets slow and take a long time to start the Search screen. After that, the selection of each letter is very slow too. The selected letters get some time to start appear at the text box. Is not fluid like the rest of the Fiio app music.

Dear Fred-svv,
Thank you for the feedback to us.

You can see the music is played after unlocking the X7 but with no sound, why? It is the headphone out, right? Can the sound come back some time latter or you may need to press play/pause again?
 
. Using the Play/Pause button, sometimes the music jumps some seconds after the button use.
The music will have delay when coming back?
 
Would you mind proving the whole word with display issue to us?
 
Best regards

Question to who can answer it... I just purchased a x7, charged it and started it up, then I went into device info and to my surprise it was already on android version 5.1.1, and fw 3.1, I thought this version was still in beta, ... Is the x7 coming out of the factory loaded with fw 3.1 now? Or did I get a used and already updated x7?

 

[Matthew Davies]

Fiio,
 
   The Fiio music app picks the first album art that it finds and that's usually fine, but sometimes it's a strange ugly compillation album nobody's ever heard of. If you can please let users pick from a few album art choices like PowerAmp does? Not a high priority. Thank you again.

Dear ridd indy,
 
Yes, the firmware version of  the newest batch for the X7 is already on Andriod 5.1.1 and FW3.1. It is a factory version for the X7 so please don't worry.

Fiio,

Is there any plans for MQA support in future updates for the x7? Thanks

.Yeah, I can see the music playing normally, but with no sound. Some time later the sound is back, but the time can vary, I think. Sometimes it takes a long time, so I change the mode to Android or Pure Music to restart the application. 
 
. It seems to be a delay and a distortion too when the music will return. But I don't remember if always the music go forward or if it comes back too, the problem exist jumping some seconds to forward and/or back too and the return of the music is not soft.
 
. @Fiio, I sent somen names for you at the support and an MP too. But I will take a photo too.
