Is it worth the about $300 for the fiio x5 or is there something better for cheaper price like xduoo x3 other dude mentioned
some reason the new 1.5 fireware made my fiio x1 when listening to music and trying to back out of the music it freezes for 5 secs and when i hit browse music there is also a 5 sec freeze
I cannot answer this question as I don't have much experience with other players. However, I doubt there's anything better sounding than X5 at a lower price, at least not in terms of technical performance, such as resolution, separation, clarity, definition, etc.
I also have issues with the new 1.5 firmware on my X1 - like you said, there seems to be quite a bit more delay when browsing folders versus 1.4 firmware and I also had an issue with sleep mode not working. So for now, I am back to 1.4...
BTW, I have seen some used X5 on sale for around $250, so you can find it for under $300 if you don't mind buying used.
