Me too. I have F9+X5iii and looking for something to pair with my X7ii. How much better will these pair with x7ii compared with F9 or FH1? Big upgrade?

Will be very interesting to see if FH5 price premium actually stimulates more sales of FH1.

It would be very interesting if Fiio would evaluate your work & if they like it then build your improvements into their products. They should of course pay you something for the ipr if you were willing. That way, all owners could benefit from community experience & Fiio get a better product &...

It seems only a few months ago, Fiio were pushing balanced / infinity sound at every opportunity. Have they abandoned a key marketing strategy already?

If such adaptor is feasible then your idea would suit ALL users & Fiio still only pays for 1 quality cable, even if the adaptor adds a few $/£ to the MRRP - everybody happy!

Has Fiio moved away from Balanced or is there an optional extra cost cable to keep initial cost lower?

I have x5iii & F9 and wonder if the FH5 would pair well with my x7ii?

+1 x7ii (yet x5iii OK)

Yes, on my x7ii but not on my x5iii.

A 1st for me: Just paid 3x more for a couple of Bocelli albums @96/24 from HDTracks compared to buying the CD's on Amazon & ripping them to 44/16 FLAC. Enjoying the music very much but not sure if I'll make a habit of the higher cost option & files 3x bigger. I still remember the tactile loss...

Since 3-4TB of FLAC files implies a HUGE collection, why not consider buying a couple of 200GB micro SD cards, format them as NTFS, and sift through your CD collection for your top 15,000 tunes (1000+ albums) as you rip the lot to an external hard drive. Gives you a chance to think about what...

My own procedure: 1. Put cards in your computer rather than in DAP 2. Format as NTFS 3 Reload music overnight

Anybody got any news on FH5? Is it now a fixed spec. or are Fiio still testing reliability & different tuning scenarios before mass production?

Hi Brooko, what are the pro's/ con's of Neutron 'v' Fiio Music Player? At present, I just rip my CD's to FLAC using Media Monkey but I currently do not use it on or sync with either x5iii or X7ii. Would you say Neutron is the best music app for pc+Fiio? If so, maybe I could ditch MM Gold & buy...

Personally, I'm a happy basic user and agree that @FiiO probably are looking to their next DAP releases, but I'd still like better sorting and ReplayGain on the X5iii & x7ii. I think both of these fixes should be perfectly achievable and any code could be transferable across their current &...
