I think it's probably a tough sell to whoever is running the ship.

The main problem might be the number of potential customers. 
 
 
I love stacks but not everyone agrees with me 

 
FiiO X3ii can be used as one of the best transports at this moment, and so can FiiO X5ii - we still have some options, don't we?

LOL - same goes for X7 with AM0 module. Best among all.

I've been meaning to get the AM0.  Is the battery life significantly better when using it?

not with large storage capacity.
 
No 1 in the original list of features was up to 1TB storage.
 
Well I can already have that on my modified 5th gen iPod, but the best available on 'modern' daps is 512 GB via 2 x microSD.
 
I'd rather not have to stack devices but I'll take that inconvenience over having to select parts of my library to take on a portable rig.

Thanks for keeping positive.
Quite disappointed....so much for a chance of a perfect transport by FiiO. Thanks to @all for your input and comments. Unsubscribed

I have to agree here, current portable solutions to go beyond 576Gb are basically non existent.
But surely the market for high capacity is very small, despite all the hi-res marketing rage.

Awesome would be a player where one could put in a small ssd.
I believe someone already did this, but I forgot what its name was. What I remember though is that it was very expensive.

1 TB msata ssd is cheaper than 2 512gb full size sd cards.

iPod classics can accomodate 1,8" SSD as far as I remember.

Have you guys ever thought of maybe getting a wireless hard drive then stream from it using DLNA?

I suspect you are right. There is great enthusiasm in Head-Fi for DAPs with TB storage capacities but the general market is probably content with much less.
 
Given that there is some demand however, I would have thought it worthwhile for a manufacturer to design a device capable of taking two SD cards. I'm sure the capacity available would attract more purchasers than the slightly increased size would deter.

sorry for everyone who support our T3 in the past. as you may know thing change quite fast than we expect, now we have 2 issues in T3.
 
 
1, The kickstarters and indiegogo is not easy to us cause we have not enough resource to arrange it .  another option is work with 3rd partner but they charge very high cost . so the problem is we don't know how many people will like to support this project. 
 
 
    also consider that we have X5 3rd which also meet most features of T3.
 
 
2, We still have a new project which may suitable to replace T3, which is based Android system but it can't supports any other APPs, not Wifi, but supports ATPX,  touch screen , but only supports one Micro SD card, slim design, long battery life. so it is still 
 
good option for T3 too.

No. You are still missing the point. The number one requirement for this transport is LARGE STORAGE.

Micro SD is inadequate and at the same time too expensive.

So it seems this dream really is dead.

If you just took the X5 III and produced a version with two full-size SD cards you'd have something that would address the transport market here. The engineering involved is literally no more involved than making the thing slightly bigger.

Anything with a single micro-SD card is missing the point. It isn't an option in place of the T3 AT ALL.

NOBODY that wants a high-capacity transport is going to even give your new project a second look, and the market is awash in players with one slot.

Such a waste of time.

 

[russell finch]

Agreed - capacity was the no.1 selling point of the T3.
