I cannot find any link on the Fiio site for a DAC driver, which I need to do on my laptop in order for the DAC to work. When I do a search I get links but I am hesitant to use the links as there are many driver phony sites that will load up my computer with malware. There is so little information available to figure out how to use the player.
When connected to my usb port on the laptop I see an icon for a windows media player when going to my computer but it is not recognized when I click on it (my laptop is windows 8.1). Am I correct in assuming the way I load music into the X5 is to connect the little micro card reader that the player came with, in other words I load my music on the card and then insert the card in the player. Very awkward if this is what I have to do every time I want to add music.
I am really interested in taking advantage of the DAC feature. I have been using a Dragonfly which improves the sound quality but the music often "skips" for a lack of a better term to describe the problem, so I am going to return it.
I do have firmware version 2.3 if this matters. I will try and do some searches on loading playlists. I saw some instructions for foobar but I use media monkey.
I really appreciate any help as there is no contact phone number for Fiio.
