I recently put a 128gb in it and it works but the general ui on it seems a tad slower. I have a mod version firmware on it that works great but navigating thru 128gb of music takes a while since theres no true scroll like on my sony zx300. But, sound and portability still rock on this for sure. I need to replace my battery soon though, it is all over the place on run times.

Thxs , guess Ill put my fav and or new albums on it. Not only is the sound pleasing but its so portable.

Yes , wolfson dap , with hardware eq.

I remember how many were disappointed when the X3i came out, so many still feel the original sounded better! X3 is a classic for sure I do not think it sounded any worse or better and glad since I took FiiO discount offer of $159 to previous 3 owners

Here's mine with the Topping NX2 and the venerable KZ ED9's as well as a beautiful DIGNIS case

What is the amp you have attached to the FiiO?
Really nice set up btw. Looking at some Fostex for a possible future purchase.

Headstage Arrow amp. What I like is I can boost ONLY the sub bass or only the mid bass or boost full bass. Has a treble boost , auto turn off when I turn off dap it turns off the amp.

Looks (and reads) nice, but how is the quality of the amplification itself? Also: Is it rather warm or neutral sounding?

With all eq off its neutral. With treble up well bright , treble up and only sub bass boosted its bright with a lower in the chest bass hit when the music has that depth.

Thanks. And compared to other portable amps you have, how is the quality of the amplified sound (without EQ)? Is it on par with the romi? Because I have the Dethonray HA-2 and am loving its neutral sound. It would just be nice to have an amp with Subbass boost, but the quality of the amplification itself is very important for me, too.

I wouldnt say Arrows 4 model has great amp section but the Arrow 5 is better. The Romi has a much more powerful amp (5 Watts) and its slightly more neutral than the Arrow. The Arrow can easily have a brighter sound when treble boost at level 1. It has 2 trebel boost levels. The Arrow has a dac too but now days its not the best dac.
