AM3 is still my favorite.
Today I tried tidal for the first time.
It was nice until I wanted to listen to some J-music. Then I quit tidal.
Can you elaborate? SQ?

OK Fiio.
Please listen to how much distortion of AIMP it was recorded.
I recorded from the analog lineout of X7 via PC USB audio interface, but it is the same sound even at headphone out.
All FiiO Music and AIMP equalizer are disabled.
AIMP has no problem with smartphones, but it gets distorted in X7.
SQ of AM3, using only mSD music and only browsing by folders![]()
I like the mids and energetic treble of AM3. I am not a fan of neither AM1 nor AM2 in this perspective, but I find AM3 to be really good.
Couldn't agree more, AM3 is fantastic!
Btw, two DAPs that wakened up on me some curiosity was iBasso DX200 and FiiO 3rd. Reading @twister6 review on DX200 bellow:
DX200 vs X7 w/AM3
[...] with X7 being brighter, thinner, and even more analytical, including X7 bass being a little more neutral. In comparison, DX200 sound has more body, sounds a little more organic and smoother, low end has more impact and upper frequencies are a little smoother too [...]
and...
DX200 vs X5iii
[...] DX200 is brighter, more revealing, more resolving, and also with better layering and separation of sound [...]
I know this is all relative and only me, listening with my IEM's on my ears could do a judge by myself, but in my reading this makes X5 3rd a lot dark, right?
Regards
Pretty smooth and a bit dark.
X5-3 is very good by itself, but if you prefer AM3 signature, better wait for X7ii.
X5-3 is the best for people who prefer AM02 or AM01 or AM05.
OK Fiio.

Hi @FiiO
My device is new, less a month of light usage. It can be fully charged.
Please check the video - https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=0fTmfr_2Ls8
1) After I disconnected the player from the dock it started automatic shutdown. How I can disable that behaviour?
2) I pressed the screen few times, countdown popup is disappeared but the player is still powered off. Guess here is a bug, and shutdown should stop if I pressed screen few times?
I'm using 3.1.8 beta firmware.

Dear spetrushin,
We fail to get the video. Are you using the K5? If yes, the X7 in the dock would turn off while the K5 turn off. But a tip like following picture would raise, can you get it as well?
Best regards
Dear ryu2012,
Does this issue happens in other software as well? What about the foobar? And all the formats would have this issue?
Best regards
It sounds like you have 32 bit turned on in the player. Check for this in the hardware settings.
I can not find the 32 bit hardware setting in FiiO X7.
Where is it?
Setting for the player you are using. If I set 32 bit in the audio hardware settings in Neutron I get the same distortion.
