Thanks for the update.

Are there any changes in the firmware itself, or is it only 1.2.3 code + new FiiOMusic app reassembled as 1.2.4, since the FW changelog is the same as just FiiOMusic 1.1.0 ?

Does the new firmware include the new dynamic EQ that's been advertised with M11?

When are we getting a FiiO X7 MK III? It's about time, no? (;

Is there going to be a X7III? I thought the new M series were replacing the X series.

The new EQ in the FiiO musci app is very good and better than the Viper EQ. I no longer need the Viper as the FiiO EQ is almost as good as I want.
Thanks FiiO for the great and much needed update.

That new dynamic EQ (on the latest firmware on X7II) is not dropping the volume but sadly it is resulting in distortion. On bass heavy songs, even 2db is resulting in distortion. Happiness lived only for a day, the hunt for better EQ continues.

 

[FiiO]

Does the new firmware include the new dynamic EQ that's been advertised with M11?

Dear friend,

Yes.

Best regards

Dear friend,

The main change is in the FiiO Music APP instead of the firmware.

Best regards
