Product Description
The successor to the popular xDuoo X3, the X3 II digital audio player upgrades the DAC chip and adds a 2.4-inch IPS screen, all while retaining some of the unique features that set the X3 apart—including the dual microSD slots and two 3.5-millimeter outputs. This version uses the highly regarded AK4490 DAC chip, paired with an OPA1652 and LMH6643 chip configuration for the headphone amplifier Read More
RockinRaynorIf I could store and play 250GB of FLAC and DSD files on my phone, I would probably use my phone instead of my Fiio X3II. But I can't, so I don't.
Thanks for the info... this makes me happy, Im going to search for the cable and download that custom fireware this should be fun to play around with. Thanks again..
I just received mine today and after an hour or so of playing with it I am pleased with this player. Bear in mind this is my first Hi resolution DAP experience and really anything that is considered better than an iPhone or iPod Classic. My expectations were a bit tempered given the price of entry and I was hopeful to have something that performs better than my apple products. I can definitely hear an improvement. My second goal was to avoid having to EQ the device which I feel is quite doable with my current IEMs. I have others on the way that I hope will perform even better. Back to the X3 II. The user interface is pretty simple and basic which is what I expected. Unfortunately my 55 year old eyes are not suited to viewing the small display without using reading glasses. Again, not really a surprise. Output levels are quite adequate with my IEMs but I have not yet tried with over ear headphones so I can't comment on that yet. I do find that the higher gain setting provides just a bit more weight to the sound although it's not really necessary with average IEMs. One reason I selected this player Vs other similarly priced DAPs was that I wanted physical buttons that allow me to advance tracks and adjust volume without having to look at the player. Mission accomplished!. In the age of touch screens this player is lagging in that regard but then that's why I chose it. The responsiveness of the user interface with over 8000 songs loaded is quite good. It took about 5 minutes to build the library with a fresh SD card loaded with the music. There are 2 minor gripes I have with the user interface. First is there is no search option or any way to advance quickly down your list of folders or artists. if you have a few hundred it can be a little frustrating having to wait until you get to Venus Hum or the Who. The second gripe has to do with limited support for playlists. You can build them on the fly but it appears to limit you to a predefined list of categories or list names. You can't name the playlist anything you want. If I've overlooked something in that regard I hope someone can point that out and direct me to a better solution. As far as I can tell there is no solution to create play lists on your computer and sync or load them onto the X3 II. Again maybe I'm wrong but I have not found a way yet. I'll close by saying that this is a great entry level Hi Rez music player. It feels solid and sounds great. Well worth the price.
I ordered it from Massdrop but it is not a Massdrop exclusive item. It’s the same as you would find elsewhere. It only has 1 micro sd slot That supports up to 256GB cards.
CyberthingyHiby devices (and this uses Hiby's OS) have generally only supported external playlists via the folder browse interface. The 3.0 OS finally understands M3U in the category interface, but I'm guessing this device won't see that feature.
Considering how fast the first x3 sold out I decided to bite the bullet and get in on this drop (my first!)
I've never owned a lossy-capable DAP before, any tips or general suggestions to get the most out of it?
Wow, thanks very much for your detailed and helpful response, especially suggestions for headphones.
I'll check out the models you've listed and see what I can eventually buy towards. I'm pretty excited to listen to familiar favorites in a higher quality.
VeathnThat's what my buddy said when he purchased the the Sennheiser HD58X Jubilee on the last drop. I donated an FX Audio DAC-X6 to him as well. He said he noticed the quality increase over straight out of his laptop.
Also, I've founding watching headphone/equipment reviews from the likes of Z Reviews, and DMS3 TV, Inner Fidelity, and Steve Guttenburg, (all on Youtube) helpful with choosing/upgrading/enjoying my audio gear.
I’m trying to update the firmware. It says add the update file to the root but how do you get into the root file? I put the usb into my computer and it just shows the player no folders except my music folder. So what am I doing wrong?
Ok got it working and now have 30,000 songs, but for some reason it picked what to add in stead of just going in order it seems. It went to bands that’s started with T then jumped over U and added only 1 band under V. So weird. Oh well at least now there’s more preloaded songs. Thanks for the help!
LTripleEHere Is the answer to your question that is according to the last updated information in the vendor xDuoo website if that is anything to go by.

I suppose there is always a chance of an exclusive series with two micro sd slots being made for mass drop only since in the title of this player there is a reference of it being massdrop made what ever that suppose to mean.
hope this helps
Found an actual review over on headfonics. Definitely sounds like an improvement over the original X3 and the D3, but I still wouldn't mind seeing it get RockBox support in the future.
