That makes more sense.  See the file names - 
 
The Fiio will order them like this:
 
01 Death or Glory
01 If Eternity Should Fail
02 Shadows of the Valley
02 Speed of Light
 
Alpha numeric
 
Try changing the filenames to:
 
101 If Eternity Should Fail
102 Speed of Light
201 Death or Glory
202 Shadows of the Valley
 
etc
 
Oh and hint - next time you're showing a download, ditch the demonoid torrent file from the screenshot

muzikT:

1. HDTracks has the album at 44/24 in AIFF, WAV, ALAC, or FLAC this weekend for less than the iTunes price. If you like it, go buy!

2. Always, always, always use track number in your filenames!!! (seen this trip people up soooo many times)

3. Brooko's suggestion of using 101, 102... + 201, 202... is great if you care about ten embedding which song was on which album. If you don't care, just use 01, 02...

Hi,

Some of us are fortunate to have different set ups, so I'll say what I use with mine ....

In the front room, I feed from the line out into a Garage Polaris amp or an Ember.

Sometimes, I use digital out, straight into an Ifi Micro. The Micro is great for taking into the garden as well. I also use the Micro from TV via optical which is really good because it doubles up.

Upstairs, I often use an MF v8 amp, again, from the line out.

Mowing the lawn, straight from the headphone out into some closed headphones.

Walking around outside, straight into some iem's.

I use files ranging from MP3 to dsd and tend to change headphones to suit amp/quality of file/ genre of music.

Lots of variables from the x5 ranging from ok quality to really good, depending on where I am. Certainly, a high quality file into the Ifi Micro using a headphone like AKG K712 or Fostex TH900 for a bigger bass gives excellent results.

Hi and thanks for the tips. Sounds like you´re never really bored with the SO of your X5!

I am not that fortunate, though. The Micro has caught my attention recently, might give it a try.
Thanks again. Cheers!
Ivan

Don't know how it happened, but it's severely messed up...

 

What I do with multi-disc albums is to just edit the track tags. After ripping, and presumably with auto-tagging enabled, what I will do is manually edit the Disc2 track numbers to pick up where Disc1 left off, then edit the album title. So for example I have "The Classical Conspiracy - Disc01" with tracks 1 to 17 and "The Classical Conspiracy - Disc02" with tracks 1 to 10, what I will end up with is one "The Classical Conspiracy" with tracks 1 to 27. MediaMonkey is set to just use the default automatic filenames.

 

Works fine on my SGS3, iPad2, MediaMonkey and Foobar on my laptop and desktop, and Fiio X1 and X5 that I got to try my SDcards in.

I've done this before, too. MP3Tag will automate this for you

Just wondering if we receive new firmware for x5 1gen.

Just wondering if we receive new firmware for x5 1gen.

As far as I know, Fiio will continue to provide firmware updates for the X5 1st gen device.

Thank you for your reply.
I see.
Do you know what sort of update we will have?

Guys i just ordered a 1st gen fiio x5. Its still intransit. I have no experience with high end dap's whatsoever. My current dap is clip plus. Now to my question, i already own a fiio e11k. Do you think i should pair the e11k with x5 or will the x5 be better on its own?

I guess it would be better sound.

 

[nmatheis]

eaglearrow: I had an E11k and sold it. I think you'll be plenty happy with X5 on its own. However, you need to be the ultimate decider

Luckily, all that's involved is listening to your favorite tunes with X5 and then X5 + E11k, matching volume as closely as you can between the two, and choosing the setup you like best. Have fun!

i tried it with e12. you get a better control over drivers ie more percieved accuracy but loose a bit of detail.
 
also try x5 in desktop dac mode. it provides a little bit more control thus giving all detail while making amp redundant. to my ears anyway.

 

[PinkyPowers]

The X5 is quite powerful on its own. For IEMs, you should have no need for stacking. With full-size cans... it depends on how efficient they are.

Stacking is an awful thing I don't EVER want to get in the habit of doing, for I fear I'll never stop. If you don't mind it, or if you truly need to power some heavy over-ears, then go for it.

The E11k is probably not the best choice though. The E12 or C5 are said to sound much better.

 

[nmatheis]

PinkyPowers: Cayin or JDS C5?

 

[PinkyPowers]

I was thinking Cayin, though I haven't heard either one. The Cayin does seem to be a favorite around here. If I did begin stacking, that's where I would start. The way it's been described is quite enticing.
