Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in iPods & MP3 Players
The FiiO X5/third generation is a good little digital audio player and for the money I thought it was quite well priced- especially when you think about a small company not only having to design and build the hardware but then needing to create software to go with it. I was having problems with the unit's interface for months and quite honestly this review would have been quite different had a firmware upgrade not come along. But in late January 2019 firmware v1.2.2 came out and WOW!!! Suddenly the player's interface is stellar! The layout is far more intuitive and while I'm still learning all of the new features (they are numerous) I'd have to say it's a pleasure to use this player all over again. The sound of the X5 is quite good. I generally listen to 96kHz/24 bit files on this unit and they sound stellar on my B&O H6 headphones. Even my CDs ripped as ALACs shine on this unit. I will say that the battery is less than stellar and so charging it up regularly is the norm. On a long car ride I'm inclined to plug it in to the DC lighter to keep it powered. I really wish that the USB port were USB-C but it's not and so transferring of large files to a spaciously empty microSD card (use only Sandisk or Kingston) takes too much time. I've now taken to removing the cards from the player and connecting them to my computer via a card reader. The file transfer process is vastly faster this way. Overall I'm quite pleased with this unit and I did a lot of research for which one to get. Indeed there are fancier models and far more expensive ones. But as a pragmatist I feel the X5 hits the sweet spot for fidelity, usability and price.Read full review

The spec listed is almost top-level, but the sound quality was definitely not correlated to the spec-listed ! Well, the sound quality is good, but absolutely not stunning. I need to say that the details is there but the overall sound is just dull and boring, even when I tried the balanced output, it's not much improved. I really doubt that if it is really using the same Dual DAC that the AK380 is using, you know China companies are usually not very honest, and it's not uncommon that they are not using what they listed ! If Fiio really using all the components they listed, they should think carefully why the sound quality of X5III is not even better than AK70 !
