In conclusion , in layman's term , what would RG actually do ? After all this,i still dont quite understnad.hahaha 

 
RG will grab your song, read the RG tag on the file and apply the volume difference on top of your current volume setting.
 
Real life example: you're listening to a song that has a RG tag written with: -6.31 dB (track gain) and -7.04 dB (album gain) - the same example i told you above.
You turn on the RG feature on your X1 in track gain mode, for example, and play the song. Let's say you have the volume set at 20.
Your X1 will reproduce the song at volume 20, but will apply a volume difference of -6.31 dB (in this case it will turn down the volume a little bit).
If all songs in your library have an RG tag written, you'll hear them at the same volume because the differences applied depend on the track and the objective is to eliminate volume differences between the tracks. Every track will have a different gain value in order to achieve the same volume altogether.
 
Still unclear?

Hi all

Regarding upgrade of firmware, I read that we need to use a blank new TF Card and follow the steps.I have some questions,


1) is micro and tf cards the same ?
2) can i use my existing Micro SD card with songs in it to update my firmware?
3) can i update by using USB with my existing Micro SD card in it

1. Yes 

2. Yes 

3. No. Like, you cannot update FW if you're connecting a mSD through USB as OTG, but you can transfer the files to the card by using an USB adapter then put the card in X1ii and update.

@Dobrescu George So meaning to say , I can just use the current existing Micro SD to store the firmware and put it back to my player for it to upgrade?

Best way is to make a copy of some songs and test

It can be really complicated to learn the theory at first, especially if you don't experiment. 

I had literally no idea what that does when I started testing it and found out later by reading and observing the difference. This method clears off many questions! If you make a copy of the track, there is nothing you can break by experimenting!

I've had feedback from FiiO on this site (might even have been this thread) that said that the battery life indicator isn't particularly accurate - so I wouldn't be surprised at it dying when it shows two bars.

Thank you everyone for the help !!!




One more new question.




My player died while on 2 bar battery life..Is this normal ?


Mine does a similar thing. Stays on full charge for a long time then drops quickly

Dear zackdeth,
 
You may try to check the battery life of your X1 first: http://fiio.me/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=39940&extra=page%3D1
 
The battery life indicater may change according to the volume and some other setting of your current playing song. So it is only for reference. 
 
Sorry if bringing inconvenience to you.
 
Best regards

The readings are quite variable between my players as well. My X1 v2 seems to have a slightly longer battery life than my older X5 which gets to two bars and then suddenly dies. It's so quick that I suspect that the battery is getting near its last gasp......

I do wish that it were possible to just open a compartment door and put a new one in.....

Call me old fashioned, but it makes sense on a high priced dap especially. Why hard wire a battery inside a unit?

Even a GoPro has a battery door and that goes underwater.
