The Fiio X3 Thread.

  to all users, I can see almost every advice about the UI, and I am working in a list about the firmware issues. and in the past couple months, we have released at least 4 version. behind it , there are a team includes 7 software engineers and 10 QA to test the firmware.
 
to be honest, I don't see any other company improve the firmware as we did . and here is the situation:
 
1, we have to spent time in the development of X5. 
 
2, the most bugs and the advice already finished or fixed.
 
3, some advice is hard to be done in the coming soon, but we may redesign the whole UI/UE in 2014 depended on the UI of X5 which will be far more better than X3. hope you can understand, something need to solve from the beginning . the firmware updated is not magic.
 
so, we will take care every suggestion or bugs report and don't worry I am here listening and watching to you. and I promise we will try our best to make X3 perfect . but if we can't , it must be out of our ability, but I hope you can still support us . caz man are man caz we are not 
 
God!  

 
Really, X3 is a lot of player for the money, and the firmware updates have resolved most key issues. My ongoing complaint on it (and a request for the X5) is support for playlists -- as I listen to most of my music that way... Simple .m3u support, a format that virtually all computer music players can generate...

Hi there
I PMd because James asked me to contact support for the answer. If he had wanted it posted at the moment, I'm sure that he would have posted the information himself. I wanted to be helpful by PM ing the person that requested help rather than fall foul of the manufacturer by posting information that they may not want to be posted.
 
regards
Graeme

Updated firmware to FW 1.31 all library issues are now corrected (using 32GB) im extremely satisfied with the SQ and now operation of the X3.
 
I'd like to thank James at "FIIo" for providing an excellent product and customer support.

James I think you did a kickaz job on the X3, I will speak for myself here and say I only care that it plays excellent sounding music I don't care about my CD covers showing and some of the other issues some people are having. I just hit random play stick it in my pocket and listen. Now for my main reason here, I hooked up my E12 to the x3 and and was amazed that the SQ was even better, the bass was more impactful the sound stage was huge and I enjoyed it greatly. Its like they were made for each other.

Graeme could you possibly PM me or post the contact info for FiiO support. When i attempt to contact support through the FiiO website there  is no listing under products for the X3, all I can do is access frequently asked questions. Yes, there is a contact e-mail but that does not seem to be specified for technical support. Thanks.
