Both only play music = the same uses.

much different. the x1 has a user interface making it much easier to use up to 128gb of music

On Head-fi end of the day what matters most to the majority is - sound. 
 
Take a look at the Shozy Alien thread for a good example of a DAP that has no UI, limited file support, next to no features.
 
What you're talking about is functionality (see the first sentence)

  This is mind-boggling to me actually.  How can you even compare the two?  One has a user interface with up to 128GB memory and one doesn't have a user interface with a much lower memory capacity.  Completely different uses.

 
If you're going to buy a DAP just for UI and storage and not sound quality, then just use you phone. My priority is fidelity not UI; not storage. It needs to be cheap, and it needs to sound great. If we could get an X1 that sounds as good as the X2 and costs under $150, then I would buy it.

Been listening to these for the past couple of days with a few of my IEMs. Fantastic SQ for such a little player. Actually fantastic sound no quips. Unfortunately a dog of a UI which isn't much better than the touted Kogan player

'51 is 8bit processor. Decoding is handled by dedicated audio and video engine. The ram is tiny as well. So to short things the rb port is not possible for this platform.

Sad news. Though, I've learnt to live with the UI and unresponsive buttons. It's the sound that I've fallen in love with.

Hello to all Head - fi members. This is my first ever post on Head-fi & till now I was just a silent reader.
 
I was saving up for FiiO X1 & suddenly this Xduoo X2 emerged out of nowhere & is very tempting. I've decided to get it by June end but before that I want to get new IEM OR Portable Headphones.
 
I've read lot about Xduoo X2 + Havi B3 Pro 1 Synergy = Audio Bliss but wanted to know about Vsonic VSD3S pairing with Xduoo X2. I'm getting VSD3s illuminating green non detachable version @USD39.06 + Shipping & customs duty extra to India from lendmeurears.
 
I'm open to other IEM or portable headphones suggestion also in similar budget.
 
My other sources are Nationite N2 & Sansa Fuze V2 [stock firmware]. I hope Xduoo X2 will be an decent upgrade to both.
 
I've Samson SR850 headphones & planning to get Philips SHL3300 so need to know if it will be a good pair to Xduoo X2 or not.
 
 
IEM's which I currently possess are Soundmagic PL30, Signature Acoustics Element C12 & Brainwavz M5.
 
Please advice me. Thanks in advance.

It will not update after Nationite N2, imho.

If you like the sound and fit of the B3, it´s a good pairing. However with Vsd3 and other similar iems there is background noise. There are many reports on that in this thread. 
 
With bigger cans, the power comes in handy. Drives most full sized cans under 250 ohms like a true champ!

Now you can buy Colorfly CK4 + for $ 93. It will update for you, IMHO.or..

Is there any way to put X2 in 'shuffle all' mode? I have hierarchically arranged library with a lot of nested folders. Even if I put in shuffle mode X2 only shuffles the songs within current folder.

One workaround would be to put all the songs in a single folder, but thought I'd ask first here for any suggestions .

Agreed, coming from super intuitive PowerAmp on Android platform I am struggling to get used to X2 UI. But sound is sweet, no regrets. Once I find way to shuffle songs in my whole library I have no more expectations.

Thanks for the pointer.
 
Waiting for your & other fellow members review of Newsmy G1.
 
I had read somewhere that Colorfly CK4 has poor Headphone out. I basically want a player with powerful amp so no need of portable amp in the chain.
 
Thanks for your valuable suggestion.
