  well...i heard the same theory from a elect. engineer, but he told me he did not believe in the cables affecting the sound at first, but he was proven wrong later. so best way is to try it out 

Can you expand on how he was proven wrong?

  Can you expand on how he was proven wrong? 

oh he was into daps and amps too and tried different cables and became a believer, and said something about the reason being because the interconnect cables were short and therefore the quality was important i suppose. well i dunno the technical specifics but.... i can hear a difference between different cables so... thats all haha

Hello,
 
I guess my X5 just runned out off battery for the first time and I have it plugged to the computer for charging, for more than an hour. I see the red light but don't get the screen indicator and when I press the on button it doesn't turn on. Is this normal? do I have to wait for a full charge to turn it on?
 
Thanks on any input

I think that it says that it won't be charged with PC or it will be really slow..

It is a known issue (won't say bug) that the player will NOT turn on when charging...

Unplug, and then will turn on

Thank you.,

I did unplug it and still does not turn on. Guess it has to have a full charge.

Say it like it is: a bug. No mature software-operated device would refuse to turn on while charging.

I believe it won't charge [well] off computer. Charge it direct from outlet.

I only have the provided cable and my Samsung S3 provided charger (5.0V 0.7A) Fiio recommends a 2.0A. Thanks for the advice maybe ill buy one with the specifications.
Ive been charging it for more than two hours now and disconnecting it to turn it on. and nothing nor any thing on the screen while charging. the only sign of life is the red light while connected to the Mac.
 
more than 4 hrs have passed and still not turning on! did a hard reset and finally started. there must be some issues on this matter.

The manual says it will charge slowly and it is not recommended to use a computer.
 
It may not turn on while charging but i plugged mine in last night while it was playing and it did not shut down and the red light came on....

I didn't enjoy the sound of my TF10's so I gave them to my wife. No problems with them now.

you need to wait and let the device fully charge before you use it.
