I will do it definitely, I have great hopes
The X3 is in my scope also, a really promising DAP also !

Hardware wise it looks good, the missing piece is the software, and I am counting on Fiio that it will make it.

I will add comparison posts with the F series on the front page there once the X3 is out (others too who wind up owning both of course), as I will be getting one!

So is sound quality a step up from the Z player?

I expect Fiio's new player coming out! They've done a great job! I'm a E17 user and very satisfied!

Thanks for taking the time to link those posts turok. When put head to head against the Studio V player, in your opinion, which player is the more detailed and natural sounding? The Studio V or the Sony F player

The V has more power and better all around sound, but I can't enjoy it with my JH16 (HISSSSSSSSS).
The F has more digital sound signature than the V, its more in your face, but sounds great with my JH16, and with different players , I get the chance to try different SQ (Like Neutron, poweramp and my new addition Playerpro).
 
Freak, I will tell you, sometimes I hate the details I get from the F (so much info to process) , and prefer the Z, with its less fatigue sound.
 
If I to chose from the above (as to total package) the F wins.
 
In the end , the F is more detailed and more natural, but this does't means "BETTER".

Interesting, the only bone I have to pick with my Studio V in the sound department would be I wish it could give me a bit more depth and width in the sound stage. Everything is nicely separated mind you but with overly busy music the lack of a slightly wider sound stage can make the music sound a little to cramped for my liking.

I guess I hear it differently. It may very well be the IEMs you are using as well. With an IEM witih a smaller sound stage or in your head sound I guess I could understand. But the Studio Vs sound stage is very wide to me and very airy. I don't think the width of the sound stage needs anything more. Maybe a bit more depth I agree. But when you use and IEM like the IE80 there is none of the issues you mention. There's a lot of width and depth. Anymore and I would feel too distant from the presentation.

Well the width ain't bad it's more the depth. You're probably right, it's probably has more to do with the gear I mate it to.

I'm curious what is your go to IEM with this player? I don't like how my MDR-7550s sound on it. Too much detail IMO. Just kinda forceful and aggressive. The 1Plus2s actually pair quite well with it. I didn't use it much but I find myself using more it and more with that combo and it's quite enjoyable. If you ever have a chance to demo and IE80 or IE8 on it I suggest you give it a shot. Maybe you'll know what I mean then . I guess I'd say this DAP can be a bit picky on what it pairs with and in that I see it as being one downfall in itself. But when you find that perfect match, WOW.

Well speaking in general my go to IEM is my jPhonic K2sp. The only other IEM that comes close to it would be my EX600. I don't use it as much on the V player because it's such a revealing player. The treble on the EX600 is good treble but it's grainy at the very top end and it really stands out with the V player. Believe it or not as far as headphones are concerned the V-MODA M-100's pair quite beautifully with this player. The player lets the M-100 do what it was designed to do which is extend low and slam bass in your face. It's a very fun listen with music from The Crystal Method and Prodigy.

Yep I agree the EX series is jut not the Studio Vs cup of tea. Same with the FX700 and I'm sure the JVC series in general (treble monsters .
