FiiO X5-III High Resolution Lossless Music Player [Red]
Dual DACs for a Silky Smooth Sound
The X5 3rd gen is equipped with two top-of-the-line AKM AK4490EN DACs, one for each channel. The AK4490EN is a part of a new generation of high-quality 32-bit DACs that supports all PCM and DSD formats. By using a dual-channel implementation of AKMs unique VELVET SOUND low-distortion architecture that includes digital filtering with 32-processing, the DAC chips in the X5 3rd gen have the ability to finely and exactly reproduce your music.
Dual Crystal Oscillators for Faithfully Reproduced Music
The X5 3rd gen utilizes two separate crystal oscillators - one for the DSD/44.1/88.2/176.4/352.8 kHz sampling rates and the other for 48/96/192/384 kHz. This ensures that under all sampling rates, there is significantly reduced jitter, improved clock accuracy, more stable operation, and virtually no sampling rate conversion artifacts.
Four-Way LPF for First-Rate Amplification
The X5 3rd gen utilizes two dual-channel OPA1642 chips for its low-pass filtering stage and a custom-made audiophile-grade OPA426 chip for amplification, providing greater power output (up to 300mW under a 32 ohm load) and greater ability to deal with capacitive loads. The outstanding sound quality of the final audio architecture employed in the X5 3rd gen is the result of closed beta users working tirelessly together with the team at FiiO in a quest to make this new X5 sound the best that it can.
Dual Headphone Outputs for Double Fun
The X5 3rd gen has two headphone outputs - one single-ended, and the other balanced. This allows the new X5 to cater to fans of either headphone output type.
Deeply Customized Android 5.1 OS for Efficient Music Playback
To circumvent the problem of third-party Android apps automatically converting the sample rate of music, FiiOs software team wrote an entire new audio software architecture for its deeply customized and optimized version of the Android 5.1 OS. This results in improved sound quality and better overall performance of the device, and also gives 90 more minutes of battery life compared to running under Android 4.4.
Two Operating Modes for More Enjoyment
The X5 3rd gen, following in the footsteps of FiiOs flagship DAP, also offers two modes of operation - Pure Music mode and Android mode. In Pure Music Mode, only the main music player is available - no other apps run for smoother operation and a purer sound. In Android mode, users are free to install and run any third-party Android apps according to their needs. By offering these two modes of operation, the X5 3rd gen can satisfy both the music purists and those who need more versatility.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (aptX) for a Connected Era
The X5 3rd gen brings a number of new features for a convenient wireless experience - 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi allows users to listen to their favorite online streaming services; aptX ensures a low latency, high-quality wireless Bluetooth experience; and DLNA is supported for even more forms of wireless connectivity. With the X5 3rd gen, you can play your music anytime, anywhere.
All-New, Thoroughly Reworked User Interface
The X5 3rd gen has an all new UI that has been thoroughly and carefully changed from the past efforts down to the last pixel - for example, many of the ...
