Likewise, purchased from the same place, however - I can see how, quite easily, depending on light levels, that this case could look 'charcoal', so - if it is that important regarding the colour, expect darker rather than lighter (unless you have extreme levels of sun where you are, so - not likely in the UK! - whereas it will look a bit lighter).


Hi Duncan,
Just about every review I read before pulling the trigger showed the cover to look charcoal, but I am pleased mine is black even if it feels more like rubber than silicon

  I have bought an X5 and i can see my music on the folders but not on the library.
 
When i update and proceed to it  each time it failed before ending.and i have to reset it.
 
The sd card is ok (i can use it with others players) but with Fiio X5 except by folder i cant read my music.
 
Is there problem with the number of letters of tags or something like that ?
 
is there a solution to resolve that ?
 
I precise that i have update mine with the last firmware.
 
 

I have formated the card but anything change the library update begin but fail without ending.
 
I can read my music by folders but anything is known by the library

  I wish there were some update on fixing the library file limit of 5800 which still seems absurd to me as Fiio officially supports 128GB sd cards.

I didn't know about this...
 
That explains quite a lot...
 
This could be a MAJOR limiting factor to my future liking of this player, as this explains why my library appears incomplete....
 
Means my purchase of the 128GB SSD earlier is pointless if i'm already over my library limit :frowning2:

I had a similar problem when trying to update my firmware, the card was formatted correctly, but - just didn't work - swapping to a different card fixed the problem (even though the card could be read with no problem in my phone, my PC, and my Colorfly)...

Mine is black and purchased from EA Audio UK

 
Thanks for pointing out EA Audio now stock all the Fiio accessories. Order pretend leather and the double hard case. Shame there was no option to choose between Blue and Red!

The limit is due to the internal memory in the X5. From what I understand Fiio engineers are working to use the micro SD card to index the library, therefore side stepping the 5800 file limit for the internal memory.

They will all play by folder

   And there may be a future upgrade pushing the DB file onto mSD card.

There may be hidden file at the root of your card that was put there by the other devices that the X5 doesn't like. Just guessing.

I have ordered the double case in blue from eBay and its coming from China, there were no UK sellers at the time I placed my order.

Are there any US sellers yet for the double case? Also is there room in the case for the cable included with the HS6 kit to be used while in the case or is it more just for storage and not actual use?

Not sure about US sellers, but the cable does fit in the case and lays by the side of the E12. Have a look on FiiO website as they have some pictures of all the accessories.

What I would like to know, can the double case hold the X5 and E12 when the have the stacking kit attached?

Thanks in advance for any info.
