I skimmed the 38 pages and it will be interesting as other people pointed out how it will compare to the Cowon J3.  One thing I like about the J3 is the size, X3 is a lot thicker, but the deal or no deal for me will be how it sounds without it having something similar to Jeteffect 3.0  and BBE+
 
I'm sure many Cowon owners like myself will be watching this with a whole lot of interest.....

i agree - im dying to upgrade my cowon of the past 3 years - its been great but time for something better and the dramas going on with the AK100 put me off. This X3 is the product a lot of us cowon owners have been waiting for. I will miss the almost never ending battery life of the cowon though

I'm curious whether the x3 has right/left balance control, like the E07. Thousands of people have requested apple to include this in the classic, never happened.

I have a Cowon J3 as well. It would be interesting to hear Clieos' opinion on where the J3 or other Cowons falls in his scale.

its so refreshingly awesome to have a spokesperson from the very company we are discussing to chime in with info and answer questions on a regular basis - I wish others would take notice

He isn't just the spokesperson. He is also the CEO. 

 
At first, I thought James was the marketing director or something. But nope. Head honcho.

Yes, kudos to you, James, for conversing here, with your potential customers. You'll gain a lot of respect from Head-fiers for doing so. I hope your competitors are watching and learning how customer relations should be done!

That is perhaps the first time I have heard someone say that. Being the head of the company is only the 'side position' at the company

1, I am an electronic engineer for 10 years and them R/D manager over 7 years and them marketing manager with CEO for over 7 years. 
 
2, English skill.
 
3, I have very great partners who response for R/D, production so I have lots of time with our customers.
 
4, I love our fans and users. and we are not only making money, we are trying to do something we enjoy.
 
So, it is hard to ask other CEO can do the same thing in here.

What are your thoughts on Head-Fi?
 
There are many other audio websites that you probably go on as a represenative for FiiO. But what do you think of Head-Fi as a proxy for a good fan base?
 
I like to go to forums and talk, but I haven't met many other websites that had the draw of HF

 Really?
 
I know that China has a huge enthusiast audio market. Could Head-Fi actually be 'larger' and more 'established' than those?
 
I think that as the CEO of FiiO, who markets to Chinese and English speaking audiences that you can answer the best?
 
I would have thought other Chinese one would be bigger and more influential than HF?
