Wraith13 did you update your player?
As there was a recent update.
As there was a recent update.
1. The amp section was chosen based on Fiio's house sound. Listen to any Fiio device, and you'll know who they are. If we want to debate SQ, how about comparing the X3 and DX50's respective line-outs, which most people seem to resort to on the DX50 anyway.
2. In the dozens of pages of the X3 thread, has anyone given the indication that their X3 has suffered build issues?
3. So because the X3's USB DAC dunction hasn't yet been implemented, the firmware is half baked like the DX50's? That's a HORRIBLE argument. Again, headphone jack and coaxial for navigation, entirely missing files, skippy playback, etc...all this is in the same bracket as the future feature that the X3 will have?
Sorenslim's argument was invalid, and that's no personal attack. The DX50 is simply not worth anything over the X3 except for the button layout, which I would prefer.
I won't be answering to anyone else, as I'm being put in a position where I seem to be making an argument for the X3.
"I'm going to ignore all your points, as they do not befit the intellect of one who has gone through puberty."
Thw X3 housing is definitely not "all metal." It's (rather flimsy) plastic with thin brushed aluminum plates bonded to the top and bottom.
that's bordering to something personal, and made me feel a little awkward.
Someone's a bit jealous :|
I don't usually want to get into argumentations, but seeing as you defend X3 on all fronts let me ask you something:
1 - what are those "indications"? could you please elaborate?
2 - housing material doesn't mean **** if the fit and finnish isn't good. IIRC fiio had dust under the screen glass
3 - it may or may not. as well as iBasoo may or may not.
4 - ok, that's good. 2 stage vs 3 stage.
5 - my skull bones are also replaceable, they just require some meddling inside my head.
6 - well, I've got nothing to say here. it IS kinda weird point...
7 - so does DX50. BOTH have bugs (admittedly, x3 after ALL THOSE UPDATES has less at this point)
8 - wish iBAsoo did that. That's a good marketing and helps customers a lot.
9 - yeah, we get it.
Well, got my 2nd batch DX50 yesterday and played with it a bit last night... I am not a happy camper! It looks awesome and I love the fact that I might not have to carry around my iPod & E7K stack anymore but the software needs some serious work. It would seem an update is coming so I'm not writing off my DX50 just yet, but this thing is WAY too finicky about tags and I hate how even when using directory mode, if I go back it starts me out at the top again and I have to scroll through the whole list again. This is exacerbated by the sometimes touch display that instead of just flicking up the list, instead selects a folder and then when I back out of that mistake... I'm back at the top!!!
well I didn't mean anything bad and definitely not trying to play a victim. If that's how it looks then I'll just stop here...Are you trying to get me in trouble? :confused_face(1): I was responding to this
Please don't try to play the victim here.

wait are you talking about the dx50 or x3............ because the X3 feels sturdier in my hand. The DX50 feels "flimsier".

The point is, DX50 is still in open beta, but its value shouldn't be judged by it's current state, unless you're not planning to have it for more than a month or two.
Hm. Not to doubt your words, as I haven't touch neither of the players myself, but you're probably the first person I see that says that the DX50 is flimsier than the X3.
Am I a horrible person for buying a flawed product and not throwing it away after just one day? If so, I'm fine with that.
