Mine should be fresh on its legs! I've only had it two days!
Oh, well then, maybe it has a birth defect like narcolepsy...

what the hell is this?? I've just spent £300 on something that won't even turn on when i want to...
More than once I've come back to my x5 to listen to some music, and all i find is that it won't turn on at all and its just sat there feeling rather warm....
`what is happening?!
I received my new X5 yesterday..everything was going great until just. I was listening to a song (@ 48 khz/24 bit, at full volume into Sennheiser HD598) and it just randomly made a short, sharp crackling sound and turned off. It wouldn't turn on no matter what I did until I held the button to the top left of the scroll wheel, and then the power button like it says to do when you're doing a firmware update. That booted it up, it didn't find the update file and then turned off. And then it worked fine and has been for a few minutes. Not sure what to do about this, anybody else experience something similar? I'd really rather not to do an RMA but I don't want a faulty unit. Thanks for the help!
Wow, the new IC I got for this is like an adrenalin shot to the heart!
I've often seen it mentioned that cables can make the last 20-30% of your system sound, never truly believed that until today...
Downside though is getting used to the new sound.

I'm curious about this, as I've thought about a pair of V3 for my first CIEM, since 1964 Ears is local for me.
I don't think so. I will put music to those cards via computer. Each of them will contain different set of genres.
Here's a link for adapter:

get two of them and two of PNY 256GB SD cards:

If all of these can work in a stable condition, I'd say this is the largest capacity DAP ever.
So as i understand it, you slide the SD cards into these adaptors and they then plug into the micro SD slots in the bottom of the X5. This leaves them hanging out of the player then. How secure do they fit into the slots? So this will in affect make a 512Gb player.
put those adapters and SD cards on X5 then use a leather cover to keep them safe.

This leather cover will keep them from falling out.
Understood, so insert the adaptors then fold them round the back of the player and slid the player into the cover then. I'm thinking of pairing it with the Vorzüge VorzAMP PURE II amp in one of the Fiio hard cases so I'm not sure if that would fit an X5 with leather case in it?

Use this for amp after covering X5 with a leather case.
Another odd thing is happening concerning cover art on one album on my X5:
I am playing Ship Arriving too Late To Save a Drowning Witch by Frank Zappa. All of the songs are FLAC Level 5 and have artwork embedded into the file. This is consistent with every other song in my library. For this particular album, however, the album art does not show up when I'm playing the songs on the X5. I get a black screen where the art should be. There are no issues with these files when I play them back on my computer or Squeezebox and I tried deleting the artwork and re-embedding it. Nothing.
This is the only album out of several thousand in which I have noticed this issue. I am currently using FW 2.02beta, but the same problem occured on FW 2.0.
Anybody else experience something like this?
