Just got a x3 with fw3.2 as well, guess thats the norm with new units?

 
I sent Joe a PM asking about the availability of the X3 ver 3.2 firmware.  Sounds like it is out there, only on new units though..

Is it only supported by the hardware on the new X3 units??
Mine was purchased last month from B&H but it is one of the firsts HW releases, for sure !!

 

[warrior1975]

These are only firmware changes, HW is the same AFAIK.

Guess so. Make sure you're buying from a store with newer stock.

How are you finding it? Any track freezes yet?

Pretty good, have no issues with freezes or anything as yet.

And uhm... when are us mortals getting a download link for this mythical new firmware?

I think the rest of you guys might have to wait for the official release on the Fiio site. Mr. Trev indicated that the stock FW isn't able to be uploaded straight from the unit. I'm not sure how these things work though, so you might have to ask him about it.

I'm going to laugh if the 3.2 FW is sitting on internal storage.

I think it gets flashed the moment the PCB goes through last inspection, but that'd be nice though...

Has anyone dropped their X3 from about waist high or maybe a little lower? I'm thinking about buying one but I've read that the construction in not all that great.

What did i just read.

Nearly dropped my ipad there.

 

[Saoshyant]

Well, its not like we'd do that on purpose, but falls do happen

No of course not and I'd always keeps the case on it but what do you think of the build of the X3? Good, decent or poor?

 

[Saoshyant]

Now that I think about I've dropped mine on the sidewalk from above waist height without any case to protect it. Cosmetic dent, zero noticeable issues in performance.

Now if you want to talk about a durable electronic product, my iPad Mini wins the prize. One night while driving home, I accidentally forgot that I put my iPad on top of my car while loading things into it, and drove off with it on the roof. Apparently the magnetic cover decided to hold onto the car for dear life, because by the time I actually left the roof of my car I was driving 60. When I found it the next morning after it had rained, there was certainly evidence of it having been driven over by a vehicle yet it still remained perfectly functional although quite beat up.
