My fiio X7 mk2 won't hold a charge anymore as well, no matter how long I charge it. No more Fiio products for me.

Price is pretty much very close to MSRP. I have X5 1st Gen and paid $120 for it when 2nd gen came out. X5s have excellent SQ but it takes a lot of effort to build playlists when you have 3K plus songs stored, there's no search function. I'd rather spend more money on Android base DAP like the X7 or the new X5 3rd generation.

If one were to take the plunge and buy this music player, would they be able to transfer all their thousands of itunes songs/albums/videos to this device and ditch the ipod? I only use my ipod for music/video playing, don't care about all those other apps and features internet related.

couldn't agree more,i have spent a few minutes with the 3rd gen Fiio X5 and much to my surprise i prefer the X5 ii,whose emphasis on mid bass,lower mid region makes it more organic than the more neutral last iteration.i know the one i tried had probably not passed the burn in period(i doubt it though since it was to my knowledge in the ONLY shop in Paris having it right now,and the 2 times i went there i had to wait my turn to have the opportunity to use it)but 1st impressions rarely mislead me

Just commenting again. I have an X5 1st gen and love it still. I've never had issues with it of any kind, battery or otherwise. That being said, I'm surprised the price isn't lower for the X5 Gen 2 with the X5 Gen 3 almost upon us. Sure the retail is $399 for the 3rd gen unit, but it appears to be a significant upgrade to the Gen 2. Better processing, balanced output, etc. This is still a great player but I'd expect the price to continue to go down after the X5 III "goes global".

Why are companies shoving android down our throats? Android is inefficient and cumbersome with hi-def players even fiio has an option to boot ditching most of the virus called android.
Shame companies do not go the xDuoo way with minimalist OS's that just focus on the main use case playback to the best of the HW's offering.

MonetThis is the most pretentious comment chain I've seen on Massdrop.
I'm sure the government and Chinese hackers wanna get into our music player with all them Android exploits; just to get all that valuable information about how many times we've played Oingo Boingo's "Little Girls" on repeat.
Thanks for the funny read.

Big Nops. The X5 3rd gen is here, and its a whole different beast, Dual-AK4490 dacs balanced out, With android. Those Astel&Kern 320 level specs. theres no point buying the X5 2nd gen. at this time. Especially when its available at the same price from amazon (299 with free shipping). Really hoping MD get the 3rd gen fiios soon!

It's not supposed to be released in the US for at least another week.

inquisitorthreefiveIt isn't even in the rounds for the head-fi tour yet! It's going to be awhile before we see it the X5iii in the US. Seems like they are having some android issues with firmware...what a surprise. May as well just get a V10 or V20 if going that route....
