Thinking about it, it could be pretty darn cool if the x3 had supported inline volume control and pause/change tracks like most phones do. Not that I am to complain at all.

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.

 
Thank you...
 
So... this means X3 is perfectly capable of sending excellent quality sound to the car stereo aux, just need a little tweak?
 
by the way, my stereo has 4v. from the amp pre-outs, which is connected to an amp then to the speakers. Would that be enough to drive the X3 perfectly without any tweak ?

I have no other usb dac.so...i can't say.this is my first time to use usb dac.it's better than my pc's phone out.
at home,i use x3 with pc.go out,i just take x3.
I just enjoy the music,not device.

[LightBlue77]

Great "soon" meaning days, weeks?

Hi,
 
Thanks for the info.  Is this version 2.x likely to enable the X3 to operate as a USB DAC?   Here's hoping
 
Regards,

^from my understanding, yes

 

[CosmicHolyGhost]

DSD too, guys... X3 is on fire...

 

[davidsh]

I'm disappointed. The FW update was supposed to be out 2 days ago

i don't see why 1.8v into a pre amp should be a problem, as you point out its lower than a cd player.

If this is gonna be plug and play on windows/linux, i'm wondering if it would work with OTG cable on an android phone?
 
Besides that, can't wait for the new firmware!
