Third revision of X5 brings a lot novelties. Rotary dial has been replaced by a touchscreen and it comes with a single-band Wi-Fi module added. Moreover, streaming is supported and there’s a Bluetooth transmitter with aptX codec support. New X5 version is powered by dual Asahi Kasei DAC and the Chinese company decided to restore the internal memory (32 GB), which can be further expanded via 2 microSD slots (up to 256 GB each).
Beautiful design, finish, construction quality Powerful internal headphone amp Cool 5 in 1 device (DAP, headphone amp, external DAC, digital transport, Wi-Fi streamer) Natural, vivid, liquid and slightly sweetened sound
FiiO has made quite a name for themselves making inexpensive high performance Digital Audio Players
The X5iii arrived in a somewhat smaller box than its previous generations. This is a fully printed retail box measuring approx 110 x 165 x 50mm.
Trzecia generacja X5 zaskakuje możliwościami. Najnowszy odtwarzacz posiada podwójny DAC AKM AK4490, czterordzeniowy procesor, dotykowy ekran 4”, a działa pod kontrolą Androida. Jest moc?
The new X5 Generation III moves Fiio's more budget-friendly players into a new stratosphere in every aspect of feature set, ease of operation, and more modern appearance.
Early this year, Fiio released the 3rd generation of their popular X5 mid-range DAP – the Fiio X5 3rd Gen Portable High-Res digital audio player (DAP).
Enter, the Fiio X5 3rd Generation DAP—a digital player which has challenged its competition by offering supreme usability combined with a smart piece of industrial design.
And now the third generation of the most recognizable DAP among FiiO flock – X5
The following impressions and measurements were made using a loaned X5iii unit which was returned to FiiO after the review.
Fiio’s release of the X5 Gen 3 changes all of that. It includes everything I felt was missing in a DAP (Android apps, Wifi transfer, balanced audio, USB DAC, OTA updates), and it does it very well.
Здесь, знаешь ли, приходится бежать со всех ног, чтобы только остаться на том же месте, а чтобы попасть в другое место, нужно бежать вдвое быстрее
The X5 always was extremely popular and a lot of people have been waiting for this new unit.
Cue the merrymaking because the X5iii is a positive quantum leap in DAP design making for the mid-fi market.
Fiio have made some changes to their Pure Music app, including 2 different themes, the option to view a VU meter, as well including Viper Effects. Anyone who is accustomed to installing custom ROMs on their Android devices will no doubt be familiar with Viper4Android. This app/service basically installs its own audio drivers and allows the user to make quite a few changes as to how the audio is processed and presented. Fiio have basically imbedded this app/service within their own Pure Music app, pretty much the same idea as what you’d find with Cowon’s Jet Effect processing. Unfortunately, the way Fiio have included Viper Effects, much of its functionality need to be unlocked by paying for the various features
Excellent fit and finish. Top quality build. No blemishes.
Will I go out and buy one? Yes I have. What will it replace an Ipod classic (clapped out).
Falling in love with X5-3 is unavoidable once you hear one and you're bound to want to buy one once you get enough time playing with it.
The X5 is perhaps the quintessential Fiio player, it was one of their first devices and also one of their most universally acclaimed.
El primer reproductor del mercado que tiene almacenamiento para 544Gb de música (256+256+32Gb). Así de claro. Con el FiiO X5III se ha dado un salto. El 'no tengo memoria' queda para la historia.
• เสียงสูง: สำหรับเสียงแหลมที่ถ่ายทอดผ่านเครื่องเล่นตัวนี้ จะถูกขัดเกลาอย่างละมุนละไม ให้เนื้อเสียงที่เนียนสะอาดไร้สากเสี้ยน เป็นเสียงแหลมที่เปิดให้ทอดตัวไปได้ไกล (ขึ้นอยู่กับแนวเสียงของหูฟัง) มีความสว่าง ใส และมาพร้อมกับความนุ่มนวลและสุนทรียภาพ ถ้าจะเทียบเสียงสูงที่สว่างจ้าเหมือนเรานั่งมองดวงอาทิตย์แล้วแสงแยงตา เสียงสูงของ X5 Gen 3 ก็เหมือนหลอดไฟที่สว่างนวล ในร้านตัดผมหรือร้านกาแฟดีๆ ที่มองได้อย่างเพลิดเพลิน
