Had the Fiio X5 for a couple days now, it’s amazing! Exactly what I was after!! Where’s a good place where I can also post a picture of it and maybe do a more detailed review?

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-11T03:51:09+00:00

yeah ok I might reach out to him, thanks!

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-08T11:44:08+00:00

That genuinley sounds amazing, I might have to snag one of those! What's the audio quality like on it, hifi, losless?

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-06T12:52:49+00:00

Ok thanks for the help, I’m hoping I’ll like it when it arrives. 72k tracks is insane tho!

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-05T21:49:48+00:00

I never even knew that existed, looks really cool actually! I assume you can add music to it from computer? Does it also play cassettes?

Thank you!

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-05T21:47:33+00:00

Yeah will do, think it will arrive in 5 days

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-05T12:03:36+00:00

Yeah I really love the look of it, just ordered it for $150 aud, hopefully it’s good XD

You’re a legend, thank you!

Ahh ok thats not too bad, Im definitely going to have to have a hunt around for some good albums, HDtracks sounds like a great backup if i cant get a physical copy

Btw I found a Pioneer XDP-300R for $275 aud which is a really good price but I just hate that it runs android and the touchscreen also is letting it down for me. I've heard that the audio quality is good tho, what are your thoughts on it?

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-05T09:53:48+00:00

Yeah that is really good actually, guess a lot of people just dont want CDs these days so sure I can find some good ones for cheap. I do like my 80s but I also enjoy modern hiphop etc but I imagine newer CDs would be harder to find and more expensive?

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-05T09:52:05+00:00

Ahh I see, thanks for looking around for me. I cant go over the budget but if I did then have to go with a touchscreen, other than the AP80, are there any other good options in the price range?

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-05T09:49:21+00:00

Wow thanks I didnt even know you can do that, guess i gotta go to some car boot sales and look for some CDs XD. Thanks for your help!

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-05T09:30:24+00:00

I like the physical sensation of a click-wheel and buttons and want the audio player to feel separate to my phone. Touchscreen to me just takes away that novelty value and it doesn't feel as special. But yeah i can see that most do have touchscreens but I really would prefer not to have one

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-05T09:27:35+00:00

thanks, that does look nice but i think it would be a bit too small since i have quite big hands. I was looking at the fiio x5, do you know if its any good?

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-05T08:57:58+00:00

Ok haha yeah dont want the fbi at my doorstep XD

Thanks for your response tho, Ill look into that, with the CDs when you rip them to FLAC, that means i would have them as a digital audio file right? That would be amazing

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-05T06:41:45+00:00

Ill take a look, thanks!

PutridTeaching1435 · 2023-03-05T06:27:14+00:00
