Hi guys, I just got my X20 yesterday. And so far, I have nothing but praise for it. I am very much a noob at this audio world, so I cannot give in depth impression since my only comparison is with built in laptop dac/amp. I do have some question about the X20 though.
- Any idea why the album art not showing on music browser nor hiby link?
- Is it normal that the player has clicking sound when first playing music? It was like some kind of relay switching inside sound.
- Is there any other way to make a playlist other than manually adding music to playlist from the player?
Thank you for the help

Hey guys, are you experiencing bluetooth noise on your X20? I've just got mine and when I connect via bluetooth to my X20, either DAC mode or HiByLink mode, I hear a quite noticeable noise in my left earbud (using 3.5mm jack, can't really test the balanced one now), similar to this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2Pb1KuVDS0. Switching to different BT devices or different earphones doesn't help. Is it my device-only problem? Or do all X20s or all bluetooth dacs have this issue?

@voloner - yeah, that clicking sound is an audio relay that disconnects the headphones when the amplifier is powered off or on, to prevent from dangerous transient pops that could damage your headphones.

Found out something new about the X20 today. Most DSF files cannot be stream via Bluetooth. I tried to stream to a Marshall Acton, my car Bluetooth player. Does anyone have any success?

I think Bluetooth cannot stream DSD files because the limited bandwidth. Anyway, this is the case for Shanling's M2S and M3S DAPs.

I don't get noise when using X20 hiby link with my Motorola phones.

Ok that make sense. DSD files are big.

I just want to share this 3D printed case design for the X20. I designed this because I wanted to use a case to protect my X20, but the case that came with it cover up almost all the body and hides that beautiful black aluminum body. You can see the case and download the file from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2832068

You have to add it to your own area accessible via your profile. Once you've uploaded it there you can reference it via the attach button. Alternatively store it online somewhere, like Flickr or wherever and use the URL / link button.

I think this is the cheapest price to get a x20 for some time.

I'm still unable to understand how playlists work on the Xduoo X20. Can you only create and manage playlists on the device itself or does it recognize a specific format like m3u ?

HI! does x20 manages via hibylink on IOS ?

It does on Android. The same app is also available on iOS so I assume it does as well.

IOS works great for me. Hiby link good stuff.
