Using mostly Shure SE 420's or Senheiser over ear Momentums. Occasionally ATH-M50.
First off what headphones are you driving?
The X3 is basically an e17 that can decode and playback music. It even has a slightly more powerful amp section than the e17 so for efficient headphones/earphones it should be more than adequate. If you prefer bass boost from a portable amp you should know that the X3 treble/bass controls are hardware based and analogue, and are very good.

I use the E12 / X3 combo for the DT880 Pro's, the E12 adds the extra headroom without having to switch the X3 into High Gain.
Prior to this firmware I was using an e11 to get the line out "sound" and boost bass a little
I find this unnecessary with the 3.0 firmware
Keep in mind there are no rules for this stuff IMHO
If you like the sound of a certain amp combo or
If it makes you happy go for it
I received my X3 yesterday and am trying to update the v1.31 firmware with the new v3.0. I continually get the error "File not found".
I have downloaded the FW3.0 file to a 2gb FT card formatted as FAT32.
I've searched the thread and can't find any help but suspect that may be because of my search criteria.
Any help resolving this problem will be appreciated.

Did you put just the file x3.fw from the 3.0 download in the root of the TF card ?
Edit:20 seconds too slow
We are a helpful bunch here in this thread
Yes you are! Thanks, I reformatted the card in the X3, unzipped, ran and wallah! I'm now up-and-running with v3.0
Thank you all for your help. I hope that in the not to distance future I'll be X3 savy enough to contribute to the thread.
This is the kind of experience that makes Head-Fi such a great forum.
