Does upsampling Redbook files solve the pitch problem? If so, what is the minimum sampling rate necessary?

The stock FW has its PLL tuned for 48kHz, or integer multiples of that. So you could avoid the pitch problem by resampling everything to that frequency.

I have now finally rockboxed the X3.

Does it have to be the exact same folder as the one from SD card #1 or just an empty folder named ".rockbox"?

I only have a .rockbox folder on my first card.

You can just copy over your rockbox folder from the first card.

Guys this is the 2nd xDuoo music player product I've had fail on me. Just straight up won't turn out. I have had it with this brand. Is it just a series of bad luck or other people in this thread and in the xDuoo X2 thread also exprience spotty quality control? I have never in my life owned electronic products as crappy in quality and longevity (lack of) as xDuoo audio players.

Hi there, I'm new on the thread... Planning to buy the xduoo x3. Does it have enough power to handle msr7 headphones? Is it really necessary to get an amp in this specific case? Would be nice if I could get opinions on this dap-headphone combo. Thanks in advance

The ATH MSR7's tech specs say it's 35ohms and 100dB/mW. So it'll be fine, the X3 can put out 150mW at 32ohms.

Here comes my German take on the xDuoo X3 after spending some days with it, as always with a Google translator option to translate it into any language, also featuring measurements, photos and comparisons: http://kopfhoerer-lounge.blogspot.com/2017/04/xDuoo-X3-Review.html

For anyone interested, Massdrop has the Samsung 256GB Micro SDXC EVO+ on sale for $129.99.

I've been using this card in my Xduoo X3 for about 2 months now, and it's fully compatible (with FAT32/4k block format of course). I have had absolutely zero issues with my card.

I pair over $200 for mine, so $130 is quite a savings.

Two really nice things about this card is the ridiculous WRITE speeds and a TEN year warranty.

Read speeds are 95Mb/s, and WRITE speeds are 90Mb/s. This is on average 3xs faster write speed than most SDXC cards. Transferring all of the music from (2) 128MB cards took no time at all (and loading new flac albums literally takes a few seconds).

Anyone paired the xduuo x3 with chord mojo? I have tried coaxial and toslink to no avail. The chord plays great hooked up to an iMac via micro USB so I know it works, but no joy with the xduoo.

The xDuoo X3 doesn't have any digital output, so what you're trying to do is impossible.
You would need a different DAP for that (e.g. the xDuoo X10, Shanling M1, Hidizs Ap60, ...).

Bummer. Ah well,

Thanks for your reply.

HifiChris,
Nice review. I agree with your impressions for the most part. I was surprised to see that you measured a tiny bit of bass rolloff from the line out. I think -1dB at 20Hz is probably close to inaudible on most headphones but still I don't like to see that...I always amp my X3 so I always use line out. It still has great bass regardless...

 

[Richard009]

Just looking at the xduoo x10 and it looks like it has the same line out as the xduoo x3. Why do you think the x10 is the better pair for the Mojo?

 

[XVortex]

X10 has the optical out (combined with LO jack).

The new format search function doesn't seem to allow listing individual posts, only threads.

I'm trying to find out if anyone has had any success in finding a suitable replacement battery. I know last year there had been a couple of somewhat close finds that were either off sizewise or required fitting a compatible connector. I'm hoping there are some new choices out there.

Anyone?
