Just curious since i want to buy dap which is on my budget. I have two options now. Both preloved and cost the same: xduoo x3 & fiio m3k. Can you compare both DAP? sound wise, file support, interface, and durability.

Cheers

I installe Rockbox on the XUDOO X3II.
Now i have 3 questions:

1. Can i insert a 512GB Micro SD card ?
2. How is the battery life with the newest version ? i(i heard the stock firmware has MUCH better battery life)
3.How can i install other themes on my X3II ?

Best wishes
Matthias Braun

Hi,

2. Around 10 hours. After 2 hours it's 50%, but when the battery is under 10% you still have 2-3 hours left.
I use it until 2-3% of the battery is left.
3. Search for ADB in this forum. You have to install it in order to get access to the file system of the player.

All the best,
Thorsten

For all X3II Users i have very good news!

This 512GB card works with the FIRMWARE perfectly!

Samsung Memory MB-MC512GAEU 512 GB EVO

You DONT have to format it to FAT32! (except you want to use it with rockbox...)

I use my X3 every night when I sleep. Love the buttons for closed eye control. Also love the fact that when I press the power button and turn it on, the last track continues playing right where it was playing when it last shut down (possible via rockbox).

Anyway, the headphone jack is acting up. The slightest wiggle and it loses proper contact and the sound goes down the tubes. I have to carefully jiggle it to get it contacting properly, but it doesn't last.

I have tried cleaning it with contact cleaner, but that didn't fix it.

Has anyone tried replacing the headphone jack?

Can anyone recommend a similar player that fits the below requirements?:
- relatively cheap
- SQ at least as good at the rockbox'd X3
- buttons
- starts playing track at proper spot upon startup

Thanks!

If you have a soldering iron, you could replace the headphone jack on the circuit board.

I have the exact same problem with my old X3
But i really used it very hard at work and it was very sturdy for years, look:






I even expanded quite dangerously the battery life More than doubled...
First i wanted to replace the battery but the closest i found was to big so i just added it...
Worked perfectly.

Concerning the jack...
I thought about soldering in a new one but ended up bying the X3II
Its even better than X3 i can highly recommend it. Even better sound, Bluetooth works
flawlessly, display brightness is more than iphone even. Resolution is decent.
Can be rockboxed and you can use a 512 GB Samsung micro SD Card with
the STOCK FIRMWARE (as i found out!)

EVERYTHING just works perfectly. Very good that they went with hiby because
you can for example use bluetooth headphones, leave the device in your bag and
choose songs with your iphone because it has bidirectional bluetooth.

Audioquality is absolutly great with bluetooth i was surprised!


I bought it on Banggood because its the cheapest....
Right now its 42 OFF... If you go this route then better be quick, because only 4 days left...

The X3II seems pretty good! Surprised they went with Hiby, and bluetooth etc - but that's great stuff.

For day use, I use the Radsone ES100 bluetooth receiver (with my Samsung S8), so I feel set in that regard. My X3 sits under my pillow for "music while falling asleep" purposes, so the X3II would be overkill. Also the X3II costs more than I'm hoping to pay (I'm hoping to find something in the $50-$100 range).

Thanks for the suggestion though! If it was less than $100, I'd have a hard time resisting it.

You need to get someone to help you fix your X3. Not us... our dap fixing has been a disaster so far.

Actually right now its under 100 Dollars!
Only 95$ for this deal, two days left.

I think Xduoo X3II is the best player under 100$. Period.

Does Bluetooth work with Rockbox?

If you Rockbox it, is it dual boot like the original X3?

Thanks!

Right! I got a bit thrown off because the website is showing it in Canadian$ (CAD). It's $130 CAD on sale (down from $225 CAD). Yes, our exchange rate sucks.

I will chew on it!

 

[Xduoophil]

Didnt tried the bluetooth with rockbox. Tried it now but
there is no option in rockbox or i cant find it.
Yes its dual boot! There is a menu in the beginning
where you can choose between rockbox and firmware.
Also a Samsung pro micro SD 512GB works perfectly with rockbox AND Firmware.
The Firmware is actually very good there is no need for rockbox really.
I have it both because choosing is always better

 

[Xduoophil]

Another good point to choose X3II is the
beautiful original case from Xudoo!
Also there is one screen protector preinstalled
and two are in the package also!
Screen is made of good quality glass and body
as always CNC machined aluminium. Buttons are also
made from Aluminium!

Such a great device! They managed to improve
the already great XDUO X3!
