I had a bad usb cable that was causing the same thing. I have four new or used ones that work fine.

Hey All. Has anybody got any recommendations of a decent 3rd party case that will fit the X3? I'm looking for something more durable than the silicone, but honestly I'm not a fan of the leather one. I used to have a nice ballistic nylon case for my cell that I picked up at a police/fire supply shop years back. I moved since then, so I can't just pop in to see if they have anything that will fit. Well constructed, decently padded. Hopefully I can find something like that.
Cheers

The ones in your avatar are known to be a very good match. I brought my X3 to a local store that carries the Momentums and liked what i heard. Ultimately even the reasonably sized and very light Momentums proved to be unwieldy for me and i have decided to stick with IEM's as 99% of my listening with the X3 is on the go and I just find inner ear phones to be so much easier to deal with in a portable application. Current IEM's that I own or have tried with my X3, that I like are, Hifiman RE-400(own), Audiofly AF78(own) Vsonic GR07BE(own), Cardas EM5813 (want to own), Westone WR4 (brief audition) and Ultimate Ears UE900 lengthy audition. I also briefly auditioned the new Focal Classic headphones with the X3 and they were an excellent match as well.

Hi, for me sound great with X3 Fischer Audio DB02 MKII.

 

[Lespectraal]

Pairing it with the Beyerdynamic DT 880 250Ohm Pro's are excellent as well. Gives me clear, clean and crisp sound. Since the headphone's are neutral with a slight hint of brightness the X3's warm signature brings the overall sound to a balanced musical experience which I find really intoxicating.

My X3 hiccups/pops slightly on all tracks longer than 12+ minutes, always at the 12:23 mark. I thought it was an encoding artifact but it's not. I scrubbed back a few seconds prior to the pop and it played through flawlessly. Any idea what could be causing this? I'm playing ALACs off a 64gb sandisk, firmware is 2.1.

EDIT: I just turned off gapless, memory play, artwork & rolled back firmware to 2.05. Still getting a slight hiccup in the songs at exactly 12:23. I also tried moving the songs to internal memory to no avail.

I'm listening to mostly classical music so I have a lot of longer tracks and this is happening frequently.

EDIT: CONVERTING THE FILES FROM ALAC TO FLAC FIXES THE PROBLEM.

Yep, this is one of the known issues.  I believe FiiO are working on it and that it will be fixed in a (hopefully near) future FW update.

Ok, thanks. Looks like I'll be converting to FLAC for a little while then. No big deal really, only takes a few extra minutes.

For now, I'm sticking with firmware version 1.31.  Prior to 1.31, I had endless problems with the player hanging during playback and bricked so many times I returned two units.  Update to 1.31 and its was stable for months but once I upgraded to 2.10, all the hanging problems returned in spades.  I have downgraded back to 1.31 and all is well.  Unless something magic comes out of FiiO, I see no need for me to upgrade the firmware.

How do you change the theme of the X3 to someone else's modified theme??

I think you just incorporate the 3rd party theme you want, into your own fw, using the tools here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/684793/diy-your-own-theme-for-your-lovely-x3.  I have not tried it, but it seems a likely method.
