Not surprising really. Such a great player at that price.

Maybe they'll find more stock tomorrow. xD

 
Hopefully!
I feel that the flash storage on my iPod Touch is dying so the X1 might be the right replacement for it.

I personally prefer the Wolfson WM8740 DAC chip in my desktop. The PCM5142 never has disappointed me in my portable though. Nice rich highs and mids. Punchy bass. The X1 sounds so good I can chew it.

Ouch, the X1 would be a whole new dimension for you then.

Although my gf dug her iPod touch up recently and it didint sound too bad from what I heard.

Does anyone screen lag when changing tracks? Often when I skip it still shows the art and info of the previous tracks for a solid five seconds.

Mine does the same

Hi Joe

Thanks to you and several others who made suggestions re my "stuttering" problem with the X1--again, what a helpful community here.  I returned the X1 and the Transcend 32gb Class 10 card to B&H Photo and got an immediate replacement (nice customer service, by the way).  I formatted the new card in the new player (which came with firmware 1.2) and then used a card reader to import, as one batch, a number of 16/44 wav albums and one or two  24/192 flac albums.  There were no stray files of other types.  It didn't take long to get stutters.  I counted 16 incidents playing 6 wav tracks from the first album I tried.  Oddly, when I replayed the same album from the beginning, the stutters went away.  (Is there some sort of buffering effect even though the X1 has no on-board memory?)  I've tried a few other albums and the stuttering continues (although not as bad as the first album).

Before I returned the original Transcend card, I stuck it in another DAP (not a FIIO) which played everything I tried without incident.

You guys are going to laugh--I got the X1 for my two year old who has become quite the headphone listener.  Maybe he won't care about the occasional stuttering... but I would!

Could you upload one of those stuttering albums so we could take a look at it?

Best,
Joe

So...just ordered the 'champagne' edition with a 64GB card (Amazon). I presume it will come with 'old' firmware...is updating it a big deal? Looking forward to playing around with it!

It's dead easy. The instructions tell you clearly what to do. You copy the update across to the card and switch on while pressing one of the buttons down and off it goes. Very easy to do.

Great, thank you - just been looking at the FiiO site and have downloaded the latest firmware to a FAT32 micro SD in readiness...Have you tried a 128GB card with the player? And any experience with SanDisk Media Manager as a way of getting files on to the X1?

It's suggested to format the card with the format option in the X1. Avoids many playback issues. 128gb works fine.

Copying is as easy as copy and paste.

 

[Bytor123]

Ah right - thanks for that - I will do that then.
Once I know what I'm doing I may well get hold of a bigger card - I'm a bit old school, like to have as much of my music with me as I can.
Looking forward to seeing how it plays in the car too, hopefully the USB connection will work.

Much better to know before you load up all your music.

Lol. I consider old school as having 20 songs on a cassette tape instead of one giant capacity mSD card holding thousands of tracks.

 

[Bytor123]

Ha, yes, I have a whole load of cassettes too - old old school...used to make the covers too...happy days (they told us we'd all have jet packs by now...) I think the X1 looks a bit retro too.

I just ordered a few days ago and mine arrived on 1.2 firmware

 

[Bytor123]

Ah right, so we'll see, could be up to date. Thanks for that
