About the X3

The FiiO X3 is a compact portable music player designed for audiophiles, equipped with a Wolfson WM8740 DAC and an AD8397 amplifier chip capable of driving headphones with impedances from 16 to 300 ohms. It features 8GB of internal storage and supports microSD cards up to 128GB, allowing extensive music libraries. The player supports a wide range of audio formats including MP3, FLAC, WAV, WMA, APE, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and ALAC, and can play high-resolution audio files up to 192kHz/24-bit. It has a 2.4-inch TFT LCD display with 240×320 resolution, hardware bass and treble controls, gapless playback, and multiple output options: two 3.5mm analog stereo outputs, a 3.5mm coaxial digital output, and a USB DAC function compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. The device offers about 10 hours of playback on a 3100mAh lithium polymer battery and is housed in a solid metal case roughly the size of an iPod Classic. Additional features include breakpoint memory, sleep timer, adjustable volume and balance, and output protection to safeguard headphones. The X3 is praised for its warm, detailed sound with low noise and excellent bass definition, often considered superior to similarly priced players and even some CD players. It comes with accessories such as a coaxial adaptor, silicone case, screen protectors, and a micro USB charging cable.
