The touch wheel patent is owned by Apple so if Fiio used that technology they might be sued. Too bad because it would be a perfect solution.

well then ............ nevermind.

There should be a "Dog in the Manger" clause in patent law, that if a company has no product in active development or on the market, the patent loses validity.
 
If nothing else, it would help against patent trolls.

I agree with you there. How long has it been since apple discontinued the ipod classic? As far as I know none of their other devices use a touch wheel.

I'm having a problem with my X1. All of the sudden out of nowhere it started making this like stud seeing sound anytime the music is playing. I tried a hard reset and also wiped my sd card and reapplied music and still having the problem. Any ideas on what it might be?

Can a damaged headphone damage the player?

Like a glitchy sound? If so, I've had that problem. As long as I leave about 3 gigs or so free, it works fine.

I have a 200gb cad and there's still 91gb left on it.

Did you format the card in the player?  Most playback issues occur when the card isn't properly formatted in the player.  If properly formatted, can you try a different card and see if the problem still exist?  I'd also try playing music from the card on your computer and see if the problem shows up there as well.  FiiO support is good so don't hesitate to reach out to them if you can't figure it out.  Formatting and trying a different card would be my suggestion.  Hopefully you figure it out.

Thanks I'll give this a try.

Hey guys,
 
Just wondering if the X1 is a good option for in car use? Right now i'm running a 8gb 3rd gen ipod nano but the 8gb restriction is a bit annoying plus i use a fiio LOD and the battery constantly dies on me, wont charge with the LOD in... Can the X1 charge via micro usb and play music at the same time?

You can charge and play at the same time.  If you use the X1 for this, you'll always have click ok when using the line out every time you power it on.  It's kind of annoying , but the hp out and lo share the same port so I get why the warning is there.

I use it in my car all the time, with a 128gb card it meets all my music needs, just be sure to use de line out. I used to have an ipod and it was annoying to have two chargers, one for the ipod, one for my other devices that use micro usb, now I only have one charger for all of them. I find more annoying to have separate chargers for each device than have to press ok every time i use the line out in the player, but that's a little annoying too. Sometimes i wish i had an X3 so i could have a dedicated line out port.

 

[Vancityguy]

would you say the x3 is better suited for in car use than the x1?

 

[dbaker1981]

If all your ever gonna use it for is the car I really believe the x1 would work great and is $100 cheaper.

I might use it outside of the car the odd time but primarily the car i'd say. The x1 seems like a good buy, i'll likely go with that, thanks.
