I love turning the VPT on to live and sets my own EQ, somehow it sounds better than my creative x-fi go on my pc!!! (same headphone )

Hi

I agree with you that the X sounds better than the soundcard in my pc (Mac Mini). I never thought that a DAP could do that.

Hehe

I love the sounds on X soooooooooo much

(first thing i did this morning was to put on my headphones xD)
i think the stock earphone is good as well! (Point at the RRP

)
I'm now using a JVC S650, its not like giving a really powerful sound but makes me feel comfortable!
Still i have to say again i love the VPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha Its great to see you guys enjoying the X!! Very immediate and involving sound signature. VPT settings I haven't touch though.

 

[kiho]

Cheers soozieq, That copy must be not quite right in some way even though it actually sounds okay to listen to.

I gave up during the second track though and cancelled as i thought i can't hack this if it is the hole album, trying re-passes to get an accurate rip if one track took half an hour!

Will give WMA a try instead of db and see if it makes a difference to actually listen to i suppose.

Other wise it will be grin and bear with the time it takes to get an accurate rip.

Cheers again

Funny :bigsmile_face

funnier, lol

Maybe the next model will do that?

One of the few things that really does pee me off is my X forgetting the song it last played when i turn it back on, whats that all about? i get greeted with the same flamin' song everytime!

Something perhaps to be rectified on next model if not able to in a firmware upgrade, along with on the go playlist would keep me sweet.

Its stupid that it doesn't go back to the last track played while turning it back on... (the browser does remember its last visited page

)
On the go playlist should be here the first place, i personally love it so much, sometimes i just like to play several tracks together from different albums and let them shuffles

A question for everyone here.

I have been looking for some good protection for my X1060 and have not found too much.

I got a nice case, but I am trying to find a decent screen protector (bought cheap stuff in the past and it was never any good). I used to buy Martin Fields and Brando screen protectors as they are of really high quality but neither manufacturers have them for the X series.

1. I checked the NAVSCREEN ebay seller and am not certain of the quality - can anyone express their opinion? It comes in pairs, does it also fit the back? Can I use one for the screen and one for the back?

2. I also found that PDair and they have some screen protectors. Has anyone bought them and can tell something about the quality?

3. I also considered invisible shield full cover. Has anyone tried it with their X? Is it worth buying?

I am looking for a good screen protector and need some opinions.

Thanks.

 

[Cosmic Fool]

Great question, Szadzik! I was actually going to ask the same thing.

At the moment the one from PDair seems a good choice to me, but I'd like to hear some other opinions.

not along the lines of screen protection but still protection, buy some beta brainwavz IEM's, $25 at the moment I believe, and you get a gorgeous soft plush case meant for the IEM's themselves but my X fits inside it perfectly..really its the best case I've ever got for an IEM. Then for transporting in a bag or something I've then put this plush case in my hard case

edit: dunno if you can see it but its at the top of this image I took today:

While awaiting the flip case I bought for it I am too using a sock type thingy that my SE W880 usually sits in (it is just a replacement phone so it sits on my desk for 95% of the time and only sometimes I use while going abroad to have 2 phones on me). The sock looks similar to the case you have there.

that picture doesn't do it justice. Its not a thin sock, its really padded and plush, much better than any phone sock I've used. If I were to drop the X in the case from waist height onto concrete I'm confident it would suffer no damage at all. Oh and the brainwavz aren't too bad either

Ahh, the picture really looks like a sock.

BTW. Still looking into the screen protector issue I think I decided to buy invisible shield.

The main reason is that it provides protection for both the back and front of the device. A lifetime guarantee is a nice thing too, though.

after listening to my X for like 8 hours today, i'm now wondering if it is possible to push the X further by using portable amps? Has anyone tried xD?

 

[cn11]

I use the ALO Rx with it at work, along with a good mini-mini cable by Lil' Knight. It's perhaps a 15-20% gain in SQ. I've had the Mustang and Shadow amps by RSA, and the Shadow was a little better than the Mustang. It seems to take a very nice quality portable amp to really improve upon the SQ of the X. I will be picking up the Pico Slim too once it's released, and compare it to the Rx. I have a feeling that the Rx will still top the Slim though, and that the Slim will therefore wind up for sale. We'll see though.

Got mine too thanks to soozieq (public thank you, I concur with Cosmic Fool, it was a pleasure), and so far I really like it, the menu's scroll very fast, and overall the UI is pleasantly refreshing after 5 years of iPods

Took ages to load it, but since I won't do that on a daily basis it's not a problem, bit annoying though. Oh, I love how small it is but still feels very solid due to it's weight, I think it's very well designed.
