Hi!,Guys!
I'm a Chinese college student,I only speak a little English.But I will give you a good news with my little English.
 
At 22,Fiio says X3 will with USB DAC,Today I had the opportunity to participate in beta testing on my laptop with windows 8 etp.
Fiio give us a new firmware with DAC mode and a drive.But Mac users do not need to drive.
I spent the whole afternoon with my laptop and X3,also ATH-M50.Now,they work very well.
I have no permissions to upload my Image,but soon after you can do the same with your own X3.
 
Are you expecting that?

 

[warwick]

Yes! I cannot wait for usb dac functionality! I have an e17 but the headphone port is broken

 

[warwick]

just thought that maybe i could just use the e17 usb dac and a coaxial line out and into the coaxial input of the x3 bypassing the broken e17 headphone port!
 
edit: no coax output on e17, derp

 

[Oscarilbo]

is there any way of using the X3 as an amp only connected to other devices ?

 

[kkrbd]

no,just usb adc,I just use x3 with my pc to listen music

 

[kkrbd]

I don't have e17
but you can have a try,by then

 

[personal2222]

How is the M50 on X3?

 

[Rayvolution]

How does the X3 as a DAC compare with other dedicated USB DAC's?

 

[davidsh]

Woah, hope this is true and not just..
Well, that'd be sooo cool! No need for my e17 then..

I was wondering... how is the X3 for car stereo using the AUX input ?? I specifically mean for 42bit/96khz FLAC files playing.
 
I've read that after a CD car stereo player, AUX brings the cleanest signal but the problem often is the external source is not good enough for the speakers.
 
how is the X3 regarding this issue?

I am a faithful X3 fans... but my experience with line out from X3 to home hifi system tells me that the SQ is not stellar after amplified...
there will some slight distortions...
 
others can chime in....

I know some people tweak their car stereo and most where using AK100 as their main source. I suppose you can do the same with X3. But it depends greatly on your system though.

some users connect the LO to their audio device and have problem about the distortion, it is because the lo level of X3 is about 1.7v, and the amps just can't handled high level signal input.
 
maybe we should decrease the output level of the LO to 1.5V ( the LO level of iPod is 0.8V and the standard output level of most CD is 2.0V )
 
BTW, some of our customers are helping us test the firmware and the new firmware should  be released on 15th, Oct.

^Nice, this is the real deal. Great job!!

Anyway, the line-out doesn't seem to measure as well as for example the dx50 does btw..

Thanks for the info, James. Looking forward to the new firmware!
