Any differences between new stable and beta 1.27?

  I also mean it for security reasons, it's a bad habit to get used to download official software from dropbox, anyone can link to dropbox some malware and say it's official ...

 
Except it's FiiO's dropbox, they provided the link, and they've been doing it like this for a while now.  If you download from any other persons - then you run your own risks.

Interesting that the website says "Final Firmware 2.0 for X5 2nd Gen" I wonder if this means that a 3rd Generation is on the horizon.

I guess this means we'll never get to turn the EQ on and off with a click of a button.

Or does "final version" mean it's not a beta?

Hi, Koukol
Yes, the shortcut EQ function will not implement. 
 
Actually, I already passed this suggestion to the engineers when receiving the feedback from some end users. But there are already 8 icons on the shortcut menu after pressing the "Shortcuts" key(the key to the upper left of the scroll wheel), when playing one song. That space is already not enough. Moreover, it may influence the system stability if we add this EQ shortcut function by other ways. 
So, we decided to give up this function on the firmware for the X5 2nd gen. And hope you can understand. 
 
Anyway, thanks for your all suggestions to X5 2nd gen.

Hi, the firmware FW2.0 for the X5 2nd gen is already the official one. And we may not release the new firmware for the X5 2nd gen if there is not any serious bug on FW2.0.

Hello
 
How do I download the FW2.0 file?  I have been searching and all I can locate is version 1.27 Beta.
 
Thanks
 
Dominic

Any news of a Fiio X5 - 3rd gen, or what is the next step ?

I really appreciate you guys looked into it, FS.
In the end I'm still a happy camper.

Does this firmware allow the usage of the sandisk 200GB Micro SDXC Ultra UHS-1 ?

Its a shame Fiio were unable to add Recently Added songs feature on the X5 ii.
Only bought the device this year. Would have waited for 3rd gen if a new one will be released this year.

The other day I was wondering when the ii came out with all the talk of a iii.
I bought mine about 4 months ago and thought it was new.
This type of abandonment doesn't give me upgraditis but abondonitis.
I stopped buying Oppo (in large part) for this very reason.
 
It's reassuring when a company believes they put out the best and stands by it...like Pono.

There are a few pretty minor things I noticed with the new 2.0 firmware. First thing is, that when you format the card in the X5, it doesn't name the card X5II TF1 like it used to, it names it just X5 TF1. Also, in the about X5 section on the player, it doesn't show the correct available space for TF1. It is off by about .20. Available space for TF2 was showing correctly.
