Both extremes informed by stuff I’d read. Another part feared it might weigh in just under the X3ii, and sound rather too dark as a bonus. Part of me thought this could be a monstrous upgrade. The taut, well-oiled reflexes of a degenerate sprang into action, and I pounced on the opportunity.Īllow me to say, if you’ve spent the last month reading every review of the X3ii, X5 Classic, and X5ii, forming proper expectations is a cruel and befuddling exercise. Perhaps a week and a half into owning the X3ii, I found a brand-new X5 Classic for $195. After that, it’s tough to reconcile the disparity and convince oneself to settle. Then, when I listen to the Audioquest again, I am refreshed of its spaciousness, clarity, and refinement. The sound is so clean and lively, that after a week of not comparing it to the Dragonfly, I began to ponder why I should ever desire an upgrade. The X3ii did everything I could possibly want from a DAP, save one crucial mark: it did not match or surpass the Dragonfly in raw, unadulterated sound quality. You can find that review on your own, if you fear what awaits you for not reading it. Fortune placed a 2nd Generation FiiO X3 in my path at a reasonable mark-off. Them who roam the lands of high-end audio call a contraption of that sort a “DAP”. I wanted something lighter and quicker, something self-contained, compact, and extremely easy to just pick up and go. But in the doing, that time takes on a brutish quality. Gotta have that.Īll this can be accomplished in less than a minute. To set it all up I must unroll the bundle, take the Dragonfly out of its sheath, remove the cap, pull out the cable I need for going mobile, connect everything, load up USB Audio Player Pro, and select an album to play. I have all my adapters and cables, along with the Dragonfly itself, in a leather pencil roll. While this package sounds amazing, it’s cumbersome and time-consuming to connect and get running. I’ve had my eyes peeled for a staunch enough system to replace my GalaxyS4>UAPP>OTG>Dragonfly1.2 mobile setup. You may take off the battery and collect the X5 to a power apply to see whether it can be turned on? When did you buy the X5? It is X5 first gen or X5II? Are you capable to replace the battery yourself? It seems not only a battery issue only. Thank you for your mail and support to FiiO. I did email Fiio, and the response I got back was: To Dobrescu George, I'm glad you have had good luck with the X5, that being said, I'm not impressed with the X5's I had, and am getting an Ibasso dx80 I used it 5 days a week at work, so maybe I just used it too much.Īlso had the problem with both of them not connecting to my pc, plugging in the supplied cord would charge them, but I could not access the files on the memory cards. Bought my Fiio X5 and it worked great for a few months, then one day, it got very hot ! so I sent it back for a warranty replacement, and it worked great until for just over a year, and now the replacement has done the same thing, will not power up, plugging in the charge cable, the charge light stays green, and the unit gets hot, so since it is out of warranty, I popped the back off, and checked out the battery, it isn't the battery that gets hot, but the circuits under the battery ! I won't be buying another Fiio player
