The EQ doesn't work on FLAC files of 96kHz and above. It's normal?

It's any sampling rate above 48kHz. And, as stated, it's to avoid overloading the SOC (Silicon On Chip). Too many calculations above that sample rate (it gets exponentially CPU intensive as you go up in sampling rate). I could just see the nightmare of reports from people having issues if the EQ was opened up to those sample rates, though it would be nice if they could do it.

I added a new folder with some flac files, but this folder is not detected during the scan. When I view the folders on fiio this folder is not listed. I reinstalled the firmware (2.36beta), did  a factory reset to no avail. I used a windows 8.1 PC for copying this folder whereas all the previous files which are all detected were copied on a windows 7 pc.

Does the folder appear when you view the card on your PC, or Browse Files on the X5?

Wowsers! Where'd you get that screenshot from Joe, olddude?

I found it on another thread here having to do with eq'ing a Mac (yes, I know).  Pretty impressive.  That's his home setup.

Folder appears on a PC but not on X5. This folder contains all the high-res files from Linn that I recently downloaded. I installed a tag viewer and all tags seem to be in order. 
 
I formatted the card and copied all my music files again. The result is the same, everything else is detected but Linn folder is not.  I am really baffled.

Keep the folder but remove the Linn files.  Put a single FLAC in that you know shows up (you can pull it from another folder if need be).  Re-scan.  Does THAT file show up in the folder on your X5?  If not, it's the folder or how it's named.  If yes, then clearly you've got an issue with the Linn files.  It's most likely the encoding.  
 
First, check the files and see if there is something going on with the naming.  The end of each file should be .FLAC.  Check the tagging.  If none of that works, re-encode it using Foobar or the like on a PC or XLD on a Mac.  That may help.

OK, I just did a search on LINN's website and downloaded and installed a test 24bit FLAC to my X5.  Showed up in Folder view and played fine.
 
So, what have you done differently than me?  I'm using a Mac but that shouldn't affect anything.  
 
Just to be clear, you are in Folder View in the X5 menu (not Album or Song or Artist)?

Yes I am in folder view. 
 
I had some Linn files from last year and did not have this problem with the last stable firmware. I will roll-back the firmware and see if they are detected.

This is the link for the whole of the free Christmas HD tracks from LINN, from this year.  The link is only valid until 6th January 2015.
 
I have downloaded them at Studio Master quality,  24 bit, 192kHz flac, using the Linn Download Manager.  (File is over 4GB and contains 25 tracks.
 
They play perfectly on my X5.   I have put them in a folder titled "Hi-Res Tracks" or something similar.
 
I just dragged them from a download folder on to the X5 using Windows 8.1 and then did a manual file update on the X5

If you have any further problems, let me know and I'll have a look at my file setup.  You shouldn't need to alter the tagging and album art
 
You may need to register if you have not done so previously, in order to download, but the files and Linn Download Manager are free.  Just click on "buy" for the quality you require.
