Malcontents... Really... You need to give you head a shake pal.
 
Considering it has been only 6 months after I purchased the X3, I finally have a player that will actually play music without locking up, pausing, freezing or whatever. I can assure you it was not my TAGS or files or Album Artwork causing this issue either...
 
Now if they can get rid of the stupid wheel based user interface and give us the option of a list interface, and a properly working "Back" (Path Memory) button. I would be happy, providing the sound does not change again with the next Firmware...
 
One would expect these kinds of problems from a FOSS based code, or is it the company who wrote the BS proprietary base code just really doesn't`t have a clue.
They must have hired Colorfly`s code monkeys, but with the Colorfly C3 you knew the limitations up front and also knew they would never get fixed.

I've already proved its possible to make a list based theme. Not too hard, you should try making one your self, make it anyway you want.... You can also read many comments - some from myself - about near flawless operation. I really can't say why some folks have nothing but trouble, but others have none. Talk about ymmv.

Trolldragon,
 
Can you name another sub $200 dap that processes audio as clearly and precisely as the X3?
 
For those of us whom are not oozing with funds, it is a godsend. 
 
With it, come some growing pains.  
 
What is the name of the other sub $200 dap which is clearly superior?  Or do you like to compare Porsche and Volkswagen?
 
I, for one, knew full well I was purchasing a VW.  And, a damn fine one as well.
 
Thank you Fiio.

I sure can, the Colorfly C3 for $85 sounds just a good as the X3, if not better depending on your choice of a neutral player or not as the C3 is very neutral and very clean.
 
You don't need to be oozing with money to have great sound which is another Head-Fi "noob" misconception.

+1 To the above comment. C3 is an excellent sounding unit and amps clean from HO,

...but from all the complaints I'm reading it doesn't look like the special beta testers for FW 3.0 did a such a great job.:confused_face:

I'll try assume you're not trying too be too much of a jerk with that statement. We beta testers identified a lot of bugs and really tried to make a difference. However, we don't employ the coders, so cut us some slack, man!

Dammit.  Touche.  I should have been more specific.  
 
You're right, but I meant with a built in amp. 
 
At the same time, I should stop blowing sunshine.  I really don't know what I'm talking about!  
 
Touche.  Dammit!

I was "not trying too (sic) be too much of a jerk with that statement."
Just a bit.

I am very happy with my X3 and all the improvements since i bought it (FW 1.05?)
it was more of a comment vis-à-vis the continual expressions of dissatisfaction of various other posters.

Ah, I see. they're too much of a jerk :wink_face:

Seriously though, anyone who wants to complain without signing up to help should either sell their X3 and move on or keep quiet (my humble opinion).

Pretty much my view too.
I apologise to anyone who missed the irony intended

Sorry if I was overly sensitive. Server ate an important presentation I was working on on Friday, and I was busy working on a home improvement project today, and I HATE home improvement projects!!!

You have my deepest sympathy, on both counts (server ate our LDAP last week).

Just want to add that I love my X3 and really appreciate the upgrade of the new firmware so my kind thanks to fiio and all those that contributed - keep up the great work!

Where can you get the c3 for $85?

In my case, where can you get and audition the C3 in Singapore?
