  Just a quick question, does anyone else have issues with playback breaking up or distorting when playing high resolution FLAC files? I know my files are okay, because they play fine through my other DACs, but I have intermittent breaking up, lasting 2 or so seconds every few minutes. I'm not sure what the root of the issue is.

Not here. Playing 16bit or 24bit FLAC are OK.
 
I get the crackle when going from one bit rate to another.

No issues playing back my 24/192 Amon Amarth, Opeth, or Insomnium albums. There's the initial pop sound when switching frequencies, however that is normal and part of the circuitry. My Xonar Essence does the same thing.
 
Are you using a higher class MicroSD card? If the bit rate is very high, it could be slowed by your card.

Oki, here my first post on my newly arrived X1 DAP. 1st.question. the plastic screen protector, the one pre-instaled on the unit.
It is writing on the paper "(2) Peel off this mask AFTER application completed." The printed paper is hardly stick to the plastic.

Do I remove the paper with the attached plastic, or only remove the paper tag sticking hard, to the thin plastic
.
X1 come with 2 spares screen protectors. They are in 2 parts. (1) Peel off this mask BEFORE application. (2) Peel off this mask AFTER application completed.

The (1) part pre-installed is gone, only (2) remain attached to the X1. Bcause, this little paper is not so easy to unstick from the plastic protector...
Sorry, am starting to become confused!

Thanks for ur feedback!

Peel the paper with the attached plastic. That is the protector for the protector. Lol.

There is another plastic screen protector below.

I think there are 3 layers. Remove 1, and u reveal the sticky part. Remove 2, and probably u get that nice finish.

Skullbox, the little tab is connected to a disposable piece of clear plastic. Pull back on the tab to peel the cover off of the screen protector. It should not remove the protector from your screen.

Each screen protector has two covers on it to prevent you from getting finger oils on the protector itself. You peel one side off and press that side onto the screen through the other removable cover before taking it off, as well.

Your screen protector is already applied properly, so just remove the second cover and you're good to go.

ok, thank you, that's what I was thinking. But I was not sure!

It will become double protection, if I teave there in place !

Is anybody using ATH-IM70 with FiiO X1? What is your settings for equalizer?
 
After Xiaomi Piston 2.1 Gold i can't say IM70 sounds much better. It's just different.
I use http://en.goldenears.net/31885 review and my EQ settings for IM70 is:
62hz: -6db
160: -6
400: -4
1000: 0
3000: +4
8000: -5
16000: +6

I'm using the IM-70's but I've avoided using EQ, since I enjoy the sound.

I'll try your EQ settings and report back later.

Are the x3 or x5 worth upgrading from the x1 will there be a night and day differences?

 

[I AM DEAF123]

Question for you guy's and gal's? I'm fairly new to the iem world and am trying to figure a few things out. I am presently using a ipod nano 3rd gen. with LO to a Fiio E12a amp. Music is 80% lossless going through RHA t10's or  Zero Audio Basso's. I'm just wondering if anyone out there has any idea what kind of changes, if any, I would get in the sound signature if I went out and got myself a X1?

The X1 vs X3 comparison made me think that I'd be very happy with the X1. I got it a week ago and so far I'm very happy with it, but it's the best DAP that I've heard. I only have a Rockboxed Clip+ and iAudio7 to compare it to. I don't think the difference will be night and day, but that will depend on how good your hearing is.

Hi, I'll be purchasing the X1 soon (waiting for local store to restock). I read somewhere there is or was a file limitation, is this still the case? How do I get around it? Will it be fixed?

Buy a computer just to install a free program to convert audio files? Seems like a waste of money
No, but there are audio converters for Mac. I've personally used MediaHuman's audio converter here (available for Windows too):

Thanks, i will give a tried!
