There's only two devices in that picture I would want.....

I like the Steampunk look of the Colorfly, but the X3 is gorgeous!!! My iPod touch looks good, and the touch 5G is a bit better looking - the X3 takes the prize & will take my $$$!!!

How will the hardware bass boost work? Like the e11 with a couple stages or the e17 with 5 step incriments, asking because i loved the e11's bass boost it was tight and strong but the e17 on 8 or 10 setting it was muddy and slightly distorted at the lowest frequencies. i would prefer a 5 stage setting for bass/treble as you can fine tune for any headphone as long as it doesn't get muddy at the highest settings.
 
Also will the initial batch in china have the english language built into the firmware already or only the international version... I cant wait to pick up one of these and waiting two months after chinese release kinda sucks.

One thing I haven't heard much about is accessories.
Hopefully we can talk about accessory wishes/suggestions without drawing too much ire...
 
I remember seeing this silicone render (I think it's a render), and the wallet-style one below.
 


 
But given that this is a piece of kit that many of us will develop an unhealthy affection for...
How about a Yotank-style?  Something unnecessarily masculine, for those of us who do extreme sports (like riding the bus).

Do we have a release date for the US yet, or an estimated release?

Shaa... I wish.  I'm afraid I'm more like this.
 
Sorry for the non X3 content.  I promise I'll stop.  Besides, I'm getting sleeeeepyyyyyy....

Is there any information about volume steps? I hope a large volume path.

60 steps with low and high gain

I think you are right. The E17 is rated at...
 
> 220 mW@32Ω
> 290 mW@16Ω
 
and is stated as being able to drive earphones between 16-150 Ohms
 
 
According to the specs on the first page..  the X3 has similar figures
 

Output Power：

>300mW@16 ohms； >200mW@32 ohms

 
 
... and so should be able to power the 80 Ohm version of the DT770's no problem at all.... if my understanding is also correct.

Now that is certainly good news. I cannot wait for it. If only I knew what all of that meant in perfect detail. I know the basic understanding. It can power up my Beyer DT770s :]

So we got all we asked for from Fiio with the X3.Great, James any idea when we can pre-order for Europe?

 

[desiknow]

I'm sold. Can't wait to get one. No more fumbling around with buying more amps and DACs until I get my hands on this thing.

Happy Easter to all Head Fi members and to Fiio team.
We all looking forward to buy Fiio's X3 DAP.

My only question is - if I mail you an envelope with money in it and a box with the shipping paid for...will something come back?
