Fiio X1 Worth it?
« on: January 12, 2018, 06:53:53 PM »
I don't know if a thread has been made about this already but I have a bunch of Lossless audio, that I'm sick and tired of converting to .mp3 I heard about the Fiio x1 Second gen... Well within my price range. but Is it worth it? By that I mean, durable and reliable? no glitches? I want to know exactly what I'd get before I pull the trigger. Thanks to whoever responds...

I wore out a first generation fiio x3 and have upgraded to the Sony NW-A35.  I haven't owned the second generation x1 but for $100 I wouldn't hesitate to get one, especially since you're sick of mp3's.  While I do like my Sony, the fiio players are definitely legit and the second generation x1 appears to me to be a better player than my first gen X3.

I have an x3 and x1 second gen and the x1 is my go to player, because of the Bluetooth. Zero issues once I upgraded the firmware to allow gapless playback. Love it And can't beat the price.
