Are Samsung evo+ 64gb/128gb cards compatible with X1? I heard some issues before, but not sure if such problem still exsist.

Hi, Deb1995
Generally, the card you indicated can be compatible with the X1. It is recommended to the popular brand which is used by most of our users like Sandisk.

Hey, Fiio:

I found a bug regarding the initial search feature when navigating the on the go playlist. The list upon searching for a specific letter, will not scroll down! Not every song that starts with that letter is made visible because you can't scroll down to see the rest of the list! Note that this bug occurs only when browsing playlists.

Nonetheless, please fix anyway!

Hi, dissembled
We tested in our X1 but still not found the problem you indicated. Could you please take a short video or tell us your setting and operations by PM to us?

No updates concerning the Rockbox port for the X1? I love the additional features it brings.

Hi guys excuse my idiocy, but how would I install a theme if on fw 2.0?

Hi, d8n0g
There are 6 themes in the X1. You can update the firmware but not install the theme. If you like, you can DIY your theme following some instruction by our users: http://www.head-fi.org/t/749000/x1-custom-firmwares

X1 to me has a much more powerful amp than the LG V10. I need to have the volume near maximum on the V10 but on the X1 it is just 40%

I'm coming from a PC setup with an Asus essence, so I'm not very familiar with daps with amps. I have to push 95 volume to get pleasing sound. I'm using iems that are 16 and 32ohm so I know they're not very hard to drive. Is there something I'm missing? Or do you like listening to your music low? I'm not being a smart alec but when I go to 40% volume it's Audible but barely, it's like sleeping music. Is there something I have to do to activate the amp settings?

impedance is only one variable, to get a direct link between voltage and loudness you need to rely on the sensitivity value of your IEM. please give a concrete example of IEM model and loudness setting you need, you said vol 95 on the X1, what IEM did you use in that instance? 
-do you have the same issue using a simple cellphone or some device with the same IEM? or do you know the settings you're using on the xonar essence(I kind of remember there were different gain settings on one of those cards)? and how loud you're used to go on your computer?
-try changing the "replay gain" setting on the X1, if the song has such metadata and you're using mostly modern music, the perceived loudness can very much be cut in half(around 10db) or a little more while trying to even out the loudness of all the songs.
-are you plugging the IEM completely?(silly question but still one of the possibilities ^_^) no need to force, but there is a little click on the last 2mm when the plug "jumps" into it's secured position. 
 
there is also the remote possibility that you're simply listening to music way too loud for your own good or that your IEM is clogged with wax and dust, maybe get a few other people to have a try and tell you what they think about the loudness.

I also listen to music at a very high volume, like around 70 to 80. Is it safe to listen to music daily at such volume?

Read the chart on how long you should listen at certain volumes before damage begins to occur. Hearing damage is sneaky and by the time you notice it, well, then it's too late. You'll just continue to turn up the volume over the years and not think much of it until you can't hear any one talking to you as you get older, or you'll have tinnitus (constant ringing in the ear - which is the hair like cells in your ear 'dying'). There is no recovery for hearing loss from listening to loud volume constantly, it's a one way street.

Get a smartphone SPL level app and place your smartphones' mic at the earcup, or place the IEM nozzle directly in front of the mic, with music playing to measure the loudness. This should be a cheap way to get a ballpark idea of what dB level you are listening at. If you are used to listening loud then turning the volume down will sound bad to you at first, but over a short period of time you'll adjust and find that it's more enjoyable and you'll be able to hear more nuance in the music. It's not worth it to play now and pay later.

If you say you listen to very loud volume, and recognize it as loud, then stop it now. Unless you want to have trouble later. Everyone should be aware of these matters and there is an abundance of information online to look up with a quick search.

Which earphones are you using Deb?
 
Also in addition to what Relic said above, if you're using IEMs and they are completely sealed, then your head acts as a natural amplifier (simple test by going for a run and sticking your fingers in your ears after - you will hear your heart-beat loud and clear).  When sound gets too loud, it triggers our inner ear's natural safety mechanism to block some of the sound coming through. Most people simply turn it up louder still - and eventually that defence mechanism gets overwhelmed and hearing damage/loss starts occurring.
 
If you train yourself to listen lower - you'll preserve your hearing, and over time you will get used to the lower level.

well with the X1 as we all have it at least in this topic, we can do better than a SPL app on a smartphone. 
I'll try to remember to do something about it tomorrow, come and insult me in PM if I forget and nothing is done comes Monday .
I'll write a X1's volume level to volts equivalence for a few values into something like a 30 ohm load and/or a 16ohm one depending on how different those will be. and then a little help about how to use the sensitivity value of an IEM to estimate the maximum possible loudness at whatever voltage you are set when you use the X1.
that way I don't have to become a human SPL meter, and you guys can get a vague idea of how loud you might sometimes be going.

You know, that's a very interesting read... and I think I may have found my problem

Seeing you are from France, would you use an international or European X1, since the EU players are all capped to 85db?

 disable the EQ, look at the volume limit you can set in the settings and if it's not already 100, try to get it to 100.  and then try again to see if you can now reach 100.
I'm not sure FIIO applies such a thing for european devices as they're not really selling european devices. AFAIK there are only some resellers that import what they want. but if it's a thing, you certainly bring up a relevant question.
