Thinks that would make it great: (in my eyes)

- Expandable to atleast 32gb via sdxc or microsd
- 10hrs+ battery life
- No bigger than iPod classic
- Album art
- Folder browsing
- Under $200

I'm super excited for the all of Fiio's upcoming products, this with a e7 would be quite nice as a everyday portable setup.

I can understand if the bulk of you guys want a dedicated music player, but I think a music player integrated with my phone that has wireless internet capabilities would be really cool, especially since the iPhone is, quite honestly, a fantastic music player (at least the iphone 4 in my experience with it)
 
So if I can integrate all of that good stuff without any loss in sound quality, why not?  I own an iPod touch, and I just don't use many apps.  I only use it for music, and nothing really "gets in the way" of my listening experience.  I imagine I would have a similar experience with iPhone 5 (which should be available in 64gb)
 
 

 
 Fair point
 
I worry that i'll kill my battery listening to music all day and won't be able to phone for Pizza in the evening

IIRC it has been said in this thread that the X3 already has the same, or better, amp circuit of the E7!

My perfect DAP:
Dedicated line out and digital out.
Hi-res playback, up to 24/196.
Great battery life.
Good sized color screen.
Rockbox.
Very large storage capacity (160 gig+).

The X3 will have most of these features, more than any other player out there, at least. Honestly, I really want a DAP that can use laptop hard drives for storage. I could care less about bulk, if I want a small player, I have my Fuze, which is great. But usually, I always have a backpack with me and wouldn't mind carrying something like that around. If I could design and build a DAP like that, I would.

I'm totally nabbimg this when it comes out, that said, and an iBasso D12, that combo would rule!

The "laptop hard drives for storage" and "Great battery lize." seems to be mutually exclusive, unless you carry a DAP of the sife of a netbook, but with smaller screen. that or carry a netbook with a high capacity cell battery, and still cant go over 16 hours battery life... and very heavy-

What i am asking from Fiio X3 no dreaming:
Dedicated line out and digital out.
Hi-res playback, up to 24/196.
15 h+ battery life.
2.5 inch 320x240 color screen.
Rockbox in thr future???
SDXC card support.( don't need internal memory as long as SDXC is supported)
Price: £ 200.
Include all this and will be better then Hifiman 801 in everyway.

 

[quesce]

This and one more thing: no lag in the interface/response time. Lags really put me off and scream "low quality", even if it is actually a pretty decent source.

I'm considering an Inspiron Duo purchase. Netbook that flips into a tablet (10.1", (1366x768)) with a nice sized hard drive (320gb) in it sounds pretty good to me. Fiddle with the Foobar2k interface to make it super touch friendly and you've got a formidable device there. I'd take it over an iPad anyday (and I've owned an iPad ).


EDIT: Biggest problem would be battery life...But I'd be willing to sacrifice a little for features like that in my portable player.

man that looks sweet, i had to google it. and as for the battery, i had an acer netbook bit a "extended battery" it was like 9 hours charge. pretty cool. the computer was kinda crappy tho.

Missed that, sounds great though! Worth at least an extra $50
If its under $250 with that and the other stuff I listed, its gonna be hard not to pull the trigger on one.

Did he say when he is coming back from vacation....it has been awhile since we heard from him.

 

[ClieOS]

James is already back a few days ago (posted in the forum too). FiiO is currently working on E11 project and probably need to put X3 on a slight hold till they can finish E11 on schedule. They usually like to tackle one project at a time, so don't expect something major before the E11 release.

 

[i_djoel2000]

i don't care about perfect DAP. i just hope the price of this DAP does not go way beyond $120

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

Then you're in for a disappointment. It's gonna be near $200. $120 and they wouldn't profit from all the options this thing has. You're asking for a miracle. It's like an E7+DAP all in one. The E7 is $90+ alone. :rolleyes:

i didn't mention about it strictly $120. above $150 still fine for me, i just hope the price can be pushed down as low as possible
 
but with people in here commenting and bragging this DAP deserves $200++ price tag (which i think is REALLY unnecessary), i don't think the price will not even close to my expectation now
