Cpasley Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hello fellow music lovers, I have a bit of a conundrum, about a month ago I purchased a Fiio X5. I have been a loyal Poweramp user since my Galaxy S4 days, in fact at one point I bought a iPhone 6 plus but sold two weeks later for another android phone (a Galaxy S7 edge) just so I could use Poweramp. I bought the Fiio versus other DAPs because it runs android, I'm sure you can guess why. I loaded Poweramp but it's been a bit quirky, slow to change tracks, crashing when I try to add album art. I'm assuming it's due to the Fiios lack of memory whereas my S8 is super smooth. My question is whether the Fiio is worth it or am I getting just as much out of the music on my phone, either way Poweramp for life! If it matters all my music is either lossless or 24bit. I'm using a decent 256gb micro sd with about 6300 songs. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzian Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 X5iii user here! Poweramp is pretty smooth for me, 400gb (sandisk ultra) & 256gb (sandisk extreme) cards, about 11000 lossless tunes of all types. Can I ask if you've installed custom kernel for your X5iii?

andrewilley Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I'm going to let this one go for now, but we normally don't discuss specifics of making "unauthorised changes" to devices here. Rooting is a very useful tool if you know what you are doing, but can also all-too-easily result in bricked devices. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzian Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Before posting I tried looking for “forum rules”... searching “rules” did not reveal anything taboo. Before anything risky at all in the instructions are listed official firmware restoring tools, negating any “bricking” scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
