    The issues regarding to the TF card.

    1. Supportable card of X3
    A: It supports TF card (or Micro SD card) which includes SDHC and SDXC.

    2. Are there any requirements about the TF card?


    A: After test, it has good support for TF card in well-known brand (such as Kingston and SanDisk).Though we are unable to
    test all the brands, normally it can work well once with good quality.
    If the speed of card is too slow, X3 would get stuck in operation or unable to play high data rate lossless music (like
    192K/24B in APE format). In this case, we would suggest you to use TF card in CLASS6 or even higher.

    3. The capacity of supportable card


    A: After test, X3 can support as large as 64G. But the card in 64G should be formatted to FAT32 first.

    4. How to format TF card into FAT32?


    A: It is suggested to put the TF card into the card reader to connect to PC (it's ok to put TF card into the X3 directly to
    connect PC). ?After found the card in the “Server Explorer”, right click it, and format it into FAT32 according to its prompt. At
    this time, please DO NOT choose 64K under the Allocation unit size when formating the TF card.
    Note: TF card in 64G can’t format into FAT32 under windows system, please try to use third party tool to format. You can
    download the specialized format tool (Guiformat/smdk_fat32) from the "Download" section under the "Support" column on
    FiiO website：http://www.fiio.com.cn/support/download.aspx.

    5. X3 can't read any audio file from the TF card.


    A: 1) After inserting the TF card into the X3, please go to "System Settings"—>"Info/Storage" first, then check whether the
    capacity of the "External memory" and "Available memory" is normal or not (compare to the condition when it displays on
    computer directly). If the capacity displays abnomally on X3, please try to format the TF card into FAT32.
    2) If FAT 32 still doesn't work, then please format into NTFS.
    3) If possible, it's suggested to change another TF card to have a try.

    6. X3 can't read all the files from the TF card.


    A: 1) Please check the displaying situation of the audio files via "Play All", "Category" and "Browse Files".
    2) If all the audio files can be showed via "Browse Files", but not via "Play All" or "Category", please ungrade your X3 to the
    latest firmware. At present, the latest version is FW2.1.
    3) After a successful upgrade, please delete the hidden datebase file in the X3, then remember to update the library
    manually：http://www.fiio.com.cn/support/detail.aspx?ID=100000037065714. It will help create a new database file.

    7. The TF card can support the NTFS format?


    A: Yes, it can. When the system file of the TF card is in NTFS, it can be read by the X3, but firmware upgration would be not
    applicable.

    How to resolve installation failure of the X3's DAC driver on Windows 8/8.1 64bit?
    Known issue: the drier will fail to install on Windows 8/8.1 64bit computers. This is related to the drier signature module.
    The drier has not been signed for Windows 8/8.1 64bit and will not work while drier signature enforcement is in effect.
    Please disable driver signature enforcement as follows:

    Mouse over upper right corner of screen->settings->Change PC settings->General-> Adancedstart-up->Restart now-


    >Troubleshoot->Adanced options->Start-up Settings->Restart

    After such a restart, the computer will be able to install unsigned driers, but gie a warning when this happens (as is the case
    with installation in XP, Vista, Windows 7), just click Install anyway to proceed.

    Please refer to the link to download the attachment for a walkthrough of the process
    : http://www.fiio.com.cn/support/download.aspx .

    The issues regarding to the function of the X3 USB DAC.

    1. When switching between songs of different sample rates, there will be a slight pop sound. This is caused by the WM8740
    changing its system clock.

    2. When you change TTPlayer's output device from wave out to KS (kernel streaming), it may show a “cannot open” error.
    Please restart TTPlayer to fix this.

    3. Why can't I adjust the X3's volume from the computer?


    A: You may adjust the music player's output options. If wave out or Directsound output is chosen, both the computer and X3
    may adjust the volume. If kernel streaming or ASIO is chosen, only the X3 may adjust the volume.

    4. Can the X3 switch between storage and DAC modes without switching off or pulling the USB cable?
    A: No. Please unplug the USB cable, change the USB mode on the X3 and then replug. Or change the mode, switch off or
    reset the X3 and turn it back on.

    5. Is the X3's decoding synchronous, adaptive or asynchronous?


    A: Asynchronous transfer and decoding.

    6. Changes in the X3's volume, bass / treble settings, and channel balance in DAC mode will be reflected back in player
    mode and vice versa.
    7. Under windows XP, using Directsound or wave out, playing songs with sample rates 64kHz, 32kHz and under 32kHz, the
    X3 will show the sample rate as 192kHz. The coaxial output will also be upsampled to 192kHz (e.g. while connected to the
    E17 for decoding).

    8. The X3 always shows the output bit depth as 24bits, even when the song itself is 16 bit. This is because the data is
    padded to 24bits before sending to the internal DAC and is a known issue.

    How to realize the function of gapless playback?

    With the version FW1.31, the gapless playback function in the X3 only can be realized when playing the single, but not the
    CUE album. For example, there are 10 singles which are continuous tracks in a folder and the album's name is 001, then
    how to realize the gapless playback function? Firstly, please set the gapless playback to be ON in the Player Setings, then
    return to the main menu and go to Category—>Album. After done that, it will can realize gapless playback function when
    playing the album 001 .

    The reason why the certain songs couldn't be deleted

    Only single song can be deleted directly in the X3. Please be noted that the CUE album can't be deteled.

    Why the certain songs couldn't be added into the Favorites?

    Only the single song can be added directly into the Favorities. Please be noted that the CUE album can't be added.

    How to delete the database file in the X3 disk?

    1. Please select "Storage" mode firstly when going access to "System Settings"—
    >"USB Mode", then connect the X3 with your computer via the USB cable, and find the
    X3 disk in the computer after the X3 has been regconized.

    2. Double click the X3 disk to enter the X3's internal memory. On the pop up dialog box,
    please go to Tools—>Folders Options—>View—>Advanced Settings, and in order to
    display all the files in the X3 disk, it is recommended to UNCHECK "Hide protected
    operating system files" option and CHECK "Show hidden files, folders, or drives" under
    the folder of "Hide files and folders". You can refer to the two red boxes on the attached
    picture.

    3. After the second step done, please just delete the pop up database file named
    "usrlocal_media.db ".

    4. Disconnect the X3 with the computer, and update the library manually so as to create
    a new database file (usrlocal_media.db) in the X3.

    Note: ★If the firmware version is not FW2.05 or above, then there is no need to select
    “Storage” mode in step 1.
    ★ Following Step 3, it's suggested to restore the settings mentioned in Step 2 to
    factory default, in order to avoid deleting other important operating system files by
    mistake.
