Today's Deals Your Amazon.com Gift Cards Help Considering the fact that the successor of the FiiO X5 (2nd gen) has just been released two days ago, it is ironic that I should review the FiiO X5 (1st gen) before the older FiiO X3 (succeeded as well by the X3 (2nd gen)). I?ve owned the latter since October 2013 and, I have to admit, haven?t been that happy with it. Why? Fiio X5 Second Generation: Review by Headfonia - The Headphone Enthusiast's Website. I'm a very happy owner of Fiio's X1, X3ii and the original X5 digital.. The X5 3rd Gen Portable Music Player from FiiO includes a large 4" touchscreen, a tactile volume knob, and full support of native DSD. Store up to 544GB of your favorite music and stream music Fiio X5 III. The Fiio X5 III - or Fiio X5 3rd gen - is the newest offspring in the X5 range of the brand Fiio, worldwide recognized as about the best price / quality portable high resolution player - also known as DAP or "digital audio player" - on the market. The Fiio X5 3 rd Gen is a high end gadget that is designed to serve the purposes of a lossless music player and a DAC at the same time. If you are a music enthusiast who makes no compromises when it comes to the playback quality of the music they listen to, this one is definitely a keeper. The X5 creates a real sense of space, and the amount of information crammed into a single trumpet phrase is prodigious. What's also more evident on a sparer recording is the X5's approach to timing and organisation. Every element of a recording is fully delivered, but there's less certainty in the way the FiiO integrates them into a whole. FiiO did an excellent job with the X5 stepping into an upper layer of this market. This is by far the best product they ever made, being a huge step forward from X3. FiiO is my first recommendation when I am talking with a friend that wants to get into this hobby as it is an excellent start with decent performance and all that at a normal price. Fiio X5 3rd Generation: User Interface. The UI is good but, and I can't believe I am saying this, I definitely still prefer the interface on the Astell & Kern AK70 than the Fiio's uglier Android styling and icons. The difference between the 3rd Gen X5 and those players is that they feel like a music device first. Does X5 3rd gen support in-line remote control from the headphone? 19.
