Hey all. Long time lurker on these forums but first time posting.
I'm rather new to the audiophile world but have been slowly upgrading my portable gear for a while now. Just went from a rockboxed Sansa clip with an smsl sap4s amp to this X1 beauty and I'm soooo happy I did. Quality is excellent and I'm really enjoying the experience it's been giving me this far.
I'm on the hunt for big value IEMs which won't leave a big dent in my wallet. I just got a pair of KZ ed2 and after +20hours of using them I'm really impressed. I do feel I want to try something different though and have something to compare with. I'm no basshead but I do listen to house every now and then. What would be the best IEM addition to the X1 under $50US?
I have to stick to IEMs as my wife thinks I look like a dork + thinks I'm too old for onear or headphones...
Congrats! For under $50 I'd go with the VSonic VSD1(S) or VSD3(S). I've found they sound great with pretty much any genre apart from drum'n'bass. The bass hits low and they are very detailed.
It's getting too time-consuming trying to find an answer to this question: can the Fiio X1 be used with (with, not as) an external DAC that can receive input though USB only? Thank you very much.
I've done that. And often get in my car to find a "dead" iPod. I'm sure it's some sort of user error, although I don't think it's as simple as leaving it playing. But it's possible, if I turn it off after I shut down the car ignition. I've always thought that something was waking up the iPod but it's impossible to figure that out. I also ran out of space very quickly on the iPod (32gb) and had to down convert everything from 192/320kb to 128kb. So that got me looking at devices with expandable memory. The iPod Touch is a nice device, and I don't have any issues with iTunes. It just does too much for a car music player. And it doesn't have enough juice to drive my ER4s or HD650 so it's not as petite and portable for walk around use. It's still looking for a mission. It does have the nicest tiny camera I own, when I don't want to use a DSLR. My old smartphone camera really sucks but that needs replacing so that mission will go away too.
Hm, that is strange. Perhaps you had left the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on? Even if it's not connected to anything, having them on will drain the battery as they will constantly be searching for something to connect to.
Anyways, the expandable memory is obviously a huge plus, but I personally still prefer the usability of my iPod Touch.

"it can't support DSD playback and work as USB DAC like X3/X5."
It's not worded in the best way, but what they mean is "it can't support DSD playback and it can't work as a USB DAC like X3/X5".
But no, it doesn't support audio out via USB.

Can't think of any DAP that could do that. Usually DAPs are the ones playing things so actively streaming audio via USB is not so much their stuff, they are the more focussed on reading from external USB sources or receiving raw data via USB to convert and play....
This will be s tough one to find if there is any. What's the use case for this?

I'm considering getting an X1.
I got a Galaxy Note 4 and despite the rave reviews in regards with its sound performance, I find that the amp section is rather underpowered. I have to crank it up (around 65% and sometimes even more) in order to drive my (supossedly easy to drive) HifiMan RE-400s to their full potential.
Anyone knows if the X1 will make an upgrade and sort out the issue I have?
My x1 just died I had it just under a month. It was a ok player while it lasted but if it can't last a month then I would steer away. I thought Fiio stuff was good gear but not now. I'am just waiting for for my E-12 Mont Blanc to die now.

My Fiio X1 went through a washing machine and only got a few scratches. My X1 screen was unresponsive at one point, but I just hit the reset button and it turned on. I heard in a review that the black screen problem was caused by static electricity to protect the X1, and other people here rarely get that problem.
Edit: This happened during December. I've been using the X1 since then, only to sell it this month.

sorry none can gurranty every piece is 100% OK, it is impossible and that is why we need warranty service. anyway, did you try to reset it or charge it again. or any detail information about the defective X1 ? and you can contact the dealer or us directly if it is
