Glad you joined Team X5 olddude!
So you spent roughly 1000 dollars without your wife knowing? Impressive. I think my wife would kill me if she found out. I have a pair of HE400i from a tour that I trying to convince her that I NEED. Good luck!
I'm really enjoying the X5 I got today. Reformatted my cards, put the files back on, set up the player, and updated from 2.0 to 2.2.0. Sounds great (using both 2.0 and 2.2.0), much better (and different) than my DX50. I use it on walks only, and the amount of power it's putting out is more than enough to give me great sound without an amp, much better than my DX50 with a JDS C5 amp (didn't like the DX50 unamped). Bass is superior, though I'm having to get used to how bright it seems on some files. Not shrill, but bright. Learning curve wasn't bad at all. Glad I upgraded to it.
Just curious, anybody out there who knows if the X5 also needs burn-in time?

Yeah for sure there is a sound change in my unit, when I first opened the box,the x5's treble had a harsher tone that disappeared after a while, also the bass seems to have opened up after serval 100 hours. The biggest improvement is the sound stage seems much wider now. I'm liking the x5 Much more now.
Now this could be my brain adapting to the x5 and what it can do, but I think burn in is very real.
Agree with this sentiment, but which IEMs are you looking at? Perhaps we can add to the temptation seeing as that's what Head-Fi seems to exist for...

Windows RT doesn't support the X5 DAC Download from the FiiO site (RT will not allow for .exe files to execute). Can't find an app in the Windows Store either. I intended to record a stream from my Windows tablet -> X5 DAC -> Windows EEE PC using Audacity recorder. Any ideas? Thanks !
@James/@Joe any chance of getting an app for X5 USB in the Windows app store? I know this isn't first priority, but would be really nice
