The FiiO X3 Second Generation (X3K tentative) will be released in a few months.
A few units have made it out already. I figured I'd make this discussion thread since there was nothing else like it on HF currently
Here's my X3 Second Generation
(The X1 is thinner but has the same dimensions)
Release is sometime in April
The most put-together unit FiiO has ever produced.
It feels extremely solid this time around. It no longer has a wobbly un-stabalized wheel that the X5 and X1 had issues with. It's buttons are also backed by some serious clicking feel this time. It's a bit softer with more cushion for some reason while retaining its 'click'. May be due to button type and tolerances.
The type of texture on the X3K is also different than the X1. No idea what it is but it may be CNC?
I believe the back is also metal unlike the X1. Mine came with a screen protector for the back pre-applied with no extras so I do not want to remove it.
General Features that are Notable:
Dual crystal oscilators
new DAC (never before used by FiiO) that is the Cirrus Logic CS4398 (192/24)
Native Hardware Level DSD Support
Asynch USB
Function as USB DAC
Digital Output to another source
Line output to another amplifier
USB OTG for Storage
128GB mSD Support
New HardwareSleep/PowerSaving functions
Playlists
10band EQ
