Very good middle class / brief comparison E18 / X5

FiiO X3 Digital Music Player (3.5 mm Headphone Output Jack) (Electronics)

Customer Review

First of all, everyone listens and feels different, so everything subjective and also depends on the application and the headphones.

At first I had the Fiio E18 ordered that idea in conjunction with my Honor 6 to serve as a music center. Although the connection worked, and I could listen to the sounds, was fascinated by the power and the stage, unique appreciation against the sound from the phone. Unfortunately, it was at my constant crashes, and compatibility was unfortunately only 50%, so return.

Second, the Fiio X3, compared to the E18 and the X5 a different sound signature, the tone is a little thicker (many will sound like), slightly lower resolution and the stage closer, all played more in the middle. This need not be a disadvantage, the sound is therefore very relaxed, but unfortunately that was not what I was looking for.

Third, then the X5, anticipate, I have acquired him very favorable / That has facilitated my decision to buy.
Sonically a step in the right direction, good stage, beautiful Differenierung of the individual instruments, enough power, low gain enough with me. Headphones currently are used, V-Moda M 100, Focal Classic (going back), Havi B3Pro. With the service I get along well, equipment is quite fast. I wish a X7 with Android, what I am far as creating a playlist, etc. quite spoiled by power amp for the future.

I can put many the X3 his heart, as an alternative would be the new X1 to consider also. My objective was unfortunately another, so the handle to X5, here I'm going to pull in the Cayin C5 and the Fiio E12a into consideration both amplifiers to enhance the sound experience again.
