The Fiio X5 Thread

  Hi,
 
as i am in China pretty soon i checked several resellers for the X5 and noticed that the pictures differ quite a lot when it comes to the texture of the wheel. What is the final texture on the X5? I´ve seen the smooth one in this thread, but what´s the final one?
 
Anyone got a clue? James?
 
Thanks a lot in advance
 
Stefan

The final texture as of now is the smooth plastic. Not the edggey metal.

I did not want it to be worth it so I could save money. After more experience with the 846 at the store I say yes it was worth it. I usually carry it with me on my daily journey. The X5 is very neutral sounding which is nice and nice also because the X5 has an equalizer. I have the X3 for some time and it is a bit a tad on the warm side and it made the 535 more bassy and well it goes well with the 846. The 846 goes well with many players and many styles of music.


Thanks and thank you for the extra info you pm'd me . :)

  Does tthe X3 or the X4 support shortcuts so playlists can be made in file view for now

The X3 and X5 support a Favorite function, it is very baisc though. No real playlist making unless you have playlists made on the SD card.
 
And nope, X4 doesn't support anything. FiiO doesn't have an X4. They are skipping that number.

March is getting close. Still no official release date for the USA?

There has never been an official release date.
 
It's always been a
 
FiiO: We are going to release between month 1 and month 2
 
(getting close to the date)
 
FiiO: The days our shipment batches are going out to countreies ___, ___, ____ are these days.
 
or
 
FiiO: There has been a delay so shipments are leaving _____ etc
 
 
There is no official release day. There is the 'approx week or two' in where they make their devices worldwide availble by shipping them out. How long it takes to reach its destination AND to be stocked and put on the website's of their authorized retaillers is another thing. Last time, it took Micca about 3-4 days to put the device on their site after they most likely received it.

Hi guys,

If you already own the X5 and have the problem where the media library update hangs or finishes without showing new songs, please send me a pm. :)
