i found line out volume is lower compared to original firmware.. also any change that lineout volume will be static, as in original firmware.
 
also i found, (in my ear) sound quality is better in original firmware (more open, space)...

As with most everything else, folks have different perceptions.  I find the SQ with Rockbox better than the stock firmware given the former has cleaned up the pitch issue, etc.
 
And regarding the line out, I have no way to measure it but honestly I don't find any substantive audible difference in both modes with the output set to max (1.5Vrms) into my Topping NX1. 
 
Again obviously YMMV

while i dont measure it by meter, but feeling the difference, due i need to crank my topping NX3 volume to made my SHP9000 sound louder in rockbox.
 
then moving back to original, i need to dial down that volume as it too loud.

If that's what you're experiencing you certainly have grounds for your ascertion about line out variances between factory firmware and rockbox modes.

Just done it last night... copy revert to stock update file from x3rockbox site...rename to update.zip...put in microsd...

Then boot to original fw (lock switch on then push power)...

Release the lock

Go to setting , upgrade..
After confirmning..immediately lock button on..x3 will boot soon, and will flash back to original

To x3 rockbox developer,

Is it possible to have bootloader which boot original firmware as default... and rockbox with lock switch on..

Basically the opposite of current bootloader

Thanks for the help man! +1 to you! cheers!

Hey folks,
 
after playing around with the setup I have some obversations/questions:
 
* With the stock firmware as well as with Rockbox I get a clearly audible level of background static noise. My perception is that it's a bit louder with rockbox. Any ideas/hints howt to tweak that?
* I think in one of my previous Rockbox devices it was possible to put the "Start sleep timer" entry to the Shortcuts list. (via long press). I can't do it here.
* I can confirm the observation of the lineout volume being much lower (on the same volume level on rockbox) than the headphone jack (I think the difference is bigger than with stock). But it doesn't really bother me
 
Apart from the static noise I'm really really happy with the setup. So thanks again!
 
 
Cheers,
rhalina

See post #6 at the beginning of this thread.
 
Searching in the two xDuoo X3 threads will usually find an answer.  If not, post that you've searched but still haven't found a satisfactory answer to your issue.  Folks will be glad to help.

Thanks Bob

Just found this thread - it sounds very interesting! I'm a long time rockbox user, and have based my DAP purchasing decisions on whether rockbox can be used on them for a long time.
 
Currently I'm using a iBassso DX50. Has anyone tried this, and have any comparisons between it and this Xduoo X3?
