Do we need more catnip?
@TrollDragon: Damn, son. Chill out a bit. Yes, Fiio released betas - and maybe a bit prematurely and naively. BUT nobody was forced to flash them, AND nobody was forced to buy an X3.
For small beers getting big, I always have a soft spot for Boulevard. It's a KC beer, which is where my family comes from, and has always had a decent quality to it.
I was looking for an upgrade to the Colorfly C3 and my choices were either wait 6 weeks for the next batch of DX50's or pick up an X3 from Vancouver. So logically I chose the X3 as it was in country and only a week away... What I didn't expect was an finished piece of hardware with Alpha grade firmware. I was not forced to buy an X3 it was my choice as the DX50's firmware had issues at that time, now the DX series have Rockbox and we are still waiting for RC1 firmware.
And yes no one forced me to flash the X3, it was done out of an actual desire to have a functional product that I purchased, go figure... By the time the 3.0 firmware came out the price of X3's was down to $149 including a 64GB µSD card, so I might just as well keep the thing as it does sound good...
So yeah, I'm "Chill".
Just waiting for my E11K to arrive from Penon Audio with it's well thought out hip flask design and audio ports on the back side, I should have added a set of Pistons to the cart when I ordered the amp.
Hoo-wee, you're filled with spit & vinegar tonight. IMHO, with Mr Trev's list mod firmware and file / folder browsing with good folder structure, the X3 is highly usable.
Have fun with the E11k. I just got mine and am enjoying it. I just wish I could store some fine Islay Whisky in it.
