Hi all, as the title says, I'm curious to see opinions. I'm hoping to buy one of these two, but I'm not sure which. I've heard great things about both, and that the first generation of each had issues that have now been solved. I want one of these two because I know for a fact that I'll be able to use TIDAL's offline features, alongside my other music. Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
Fair enough, I had not heard about software issues with the FiiO, and had read somewhere that the 2/3.5mm jack issue had been fixed on the DP-X1A. What player that will support TIDAL offline would you recommend instead? I would like balanced outputs and dual DAC+AMPs internally, if at all possible, but I am open to other suggestions. Cheers
fiio x5iii and x7ii both support tidal offline, but you have to tweak some settings to keep them from skipping. reply if interested in learning more. I currently own both of these players. The X5iii will be up for sale soon, a little too smooth and dark for me, but still a good player.

Of course I'm interested! I won't own one for a while, but I've read about the skipping and I'm very curious as to the solution - it's the only issue that makes me hesitate about the player, in all honesty. Otherwise, I've heard good things about it Cheers

In my experience, Sharp Roll-Off filter gives you the brighter/more detail oriented sound on the X5 3rd Gen.
Filters on the X5 3rd Gen can have quite an impact in terms of sound signature.

It seems that the 1 second crossfade is the main solution, however. Whenever I switch that to "no crossfade" or zero, I'll get the occasional glitch. See if the instructions I lay out in that link work for you. Please let us know here and you may want to subscribe to that thread as well.
i'm not into daps so i dont know too much about them, but i heard somewhere that the onkyo dpx1a uses an outdated dac chip and that you shouldnt consider getting one (i think philips daps too)
I agree! I guess that settles it then, I'll likely get an X7 Mark II! Cheers for your help guys! (Unless someone else has a suggestion that isn't an X7 or a DP-X1A )

I was not thrilled with the fiio at all when I did a couple week audition. If you can get your hands on it before you purchase it, or if you can find a Astell & Kern Ak300 for reasonable take a look at that. We can get them in the US for under 600.00 new. Just give you another option to look at.
