Anyone try MDR-1Rs yet?

Its been difficult finding the right IEM for this. Been running GR07s and not very satisfied with them on the X3, overall. Great sounding device for full phones, but that sorta defeats the purpose.

 
UE TF10's work well with it. Also the cheapie Vsonic VC02.

The release of FiiO X3's new firmware (FW2.1)—Nov 20th 2013

X3 Firmware version FW2.1 fixed the following issues in version FW2.05:

1. Fixed issue with playback of 192kHz tracks where repeated plugging
and unplugging of headphones may cause the sound to change pitch.
2. Fixed issue where the song's progress bar does not move when fast forwarding.
3. Fixed issue where X3 produces "pop" sounds when used as USB DAC with certain computers.
(glitches may still occur with improper computer configuration)
4. Improved file sorting in browse mode, being now compatible with songs exported from iTunes.
 

>>Download Address
http://www.fiio.net/firmware_download/X3_FW2.1_EN.zip

The zip file includes FW2.1, E-manual, DAC driver and its installation manual.
Note: For users with X3 updated to FW2.05 and installed the device driver, there is NO need to install it once again.

Great combo (I have the over-ear version. I only once had a quick listen to the on-ears which sounded promising at least). Should make you smile :-D


Really? thats Great!:) I have the over ear version aswell, do you have any tips for this particular combination? Like good eq settings or anything like that? Do you use some external device to make it sound even better or is it just straight phones to X3?

(<------total beginner)

  The sound of the DAC is absolutely out of this world :p
 
My impression or the sound is cleaner after the firmware update?

 
we have improve the USB DAC so it is true after upgrading to the new firmware.

James - top job! A huge thank you to you and your team, I'm loving my x3 even more now. Works & sounds brilliantly with the Macbook pro using Vox, Spotify or whichever player I've used.
 
Thank you once again
