I would like to give a shout out to Yang at Treoo who was very helpful and apologetic for not initially being able to meet the pre-orders. Thanks Yang.

The card formatted in the X1 as Fat32 should work in the new X3. I'm using the card I used to use with the old X3, and it works perfectly. (I say "should" as I have no experience with the X1.)

I've done that very thing. I formatted a microcard in my X1, filled it up with music, but then decided I wanted to listen to that music on my X3 (g1). The card has the title of "X1", even when viewed  in the X3.

I wonder if Fiio has or will be selling  replacement silicone cases for the X3 2g. I have a couple of spare ones for my old X3 because I sometimes accidentally tear them when removing  to access the TF card.

Yes, it's normal. It's a way more powerful amp than the Sony's it tends to get a bit warm.
 
Cheers,

After months of collecting dust, I finally pulled my DX50 out to update the firmware this evening. Since I also have the X3 II in front of me, I decided to just do a brief A/B'ing while I am at it. I know there used to be a debate on whether the original X3 or the DX50 sound better - X3 is obviously warm, intimate and sweet but really lacks a good soundstage and overall balance; DX50 has an under-powered headphone-out that misses a good amount of texture and impact, but it is clean, fairly neutral and open - those pros and cons make them about equal to my ears. Volume matched as close as possible between X3 II and DX50, I think the surprise is just how close they share the same sound signature. Both are neutral and slightly toward warmth, with a good soundstage and overall balance. The difference is that X3 II has the power and impact that are missing from the DX50. Finally here is a $200ish DAP that ticks all the boxes.

Thanks for the comparison. I was actually looking for a comparison, you read my mind!

BTW, the FiiO pleather case isn't half bad too. It is not Dignis' level of quality, but for about 1/3 the price it is okay for me.
