X3II: Only in Rockbox -> I have a Folder.jpg in the album directory. This doesn't show.

Rockbox needs a cover.bmp in a special size. There are simple converting programs you can easily find via any search engine.

Are you referring to that player in particular? I have multiple different rockboxed players, none of these has this issue. All work fine with folder.jpg.

I'm sorry, that was my fault. My other player works with cover.bmp only and I assumed it was a general rockbox constraint.

Did you try to update music library after installing new firmware?

the latest version did scan past 15,000 which is good.

However, it seems to have broken the bluetooth hiby link.. I have tried numerous times with 2 different android phones (both of which worked in the past), it would see the device, try to pair, then fail.

I re-flashed the earlier firmware (new format, with 15k issue), and it re-connected 1st try.

Hi everyone,
I think xDuoo X3II users might be interested in my custom firmware. I made some reverse-engineering tricks over stock v1.2 firmware and implemented a lot of interesting things. The most interesting are:

• UI speedup and brand new design
• Changeable UI themes (12 built in + unlimited amount can be loaded from SD card)
• Battery levels and brightness levels fixed
• All five DAC's digital filters implemented
• Extended EQ adjust range
• DSD noise fixed (stolen from last X20 firmware)

Project page on GitHub: https://github.com/SinuXVR/xDuoo-X3II-custom-firmware
Just download update.upt file and you know what to do

Got my x3ii today and I love it. Your firmware works amazingly well, update process was smooth and it's very usable.. thanks for doing it. I will be making a donation for your hard work.

I can't confirm, everything works as expected for me

Is there a difference between the xDuoo X3II and the xDuoo X3II 2nd Generation? Some sites list it as "2nd Generation" while others just call it the X3II. I am wondering if there are two different X3 II models?

Hey guys, i just got my x20 today. The sq is great but can it work as a dac for my smartphone (huawei mate 20 pro)? I connected it via otg but the phone did not recognized the x20.

I have incredible news for x3ii users! I was able to implement two way LDAC and single way AAC (only receiving in bt dac mode) in my firmware: 1.2SE8

 

[afico]

how did you do that?? and how you had a confirmation that ldac or aac are effectly working?
i don't see AAC indicator

i don't see AAC indicator

I have put bluetooth libs from TempoTec V1 firmware. You can't see current bt codec in sink mode, player doesn't display it. You should check it on the source device. On Android it can be done in "Developer options"

tossing up between the x3II or the x20, I've never had xduoo before though, finding it tough to make the call.

I had the original X3, and recently got the X3II. I highly recommend the X3II considering that you have also dual-boot Rockbox support. One of the best value players out there. I don't know the X20 though.

I didn't look too deep into the X20 before I bought x3ii, but looks like it has beefier output stage and also balanced out option, but less battery life. These aren't things I needed - x3ii is great value in my opinion for its feature set. There is also improved firmware from SinuX (see his posts on the last few pages), as well as Rockbox for another alternative option.
