FiiO X3 2ndとX7に新しいファームウェアが来ました
中国の長期休みの前にアップデートが出ています。
まずは、FiiO X3 2ndにベータのファームウェア1.44が出ています。
The following changes and improvements were made to FW1.44beta compared to FW1.4:
- Added support for ReplayGain;
- Added library search function: activate by holding Shortcuts button in any category or folder browsing screen; use previous / next buttons to switch between numbers and alphabet).
- Increased USB storage transfer speeds (≥8MB/s);
- Added Recently Played playlist (via Play by Category);
- Added DoP and D2P options to S/PDIF output;
- Added Line Output level options (fixed or variable level);
- Optimized UI operation and speed;

- Fixed issue with syncing timed lyrics to song position;
- Fixed issue where some ID3 tag info could not be read correctly;
- Added option to manually clear media library database file (via System Settings);
- USB OTG function (which had never been compatible with many USB devices) has been disabled to improve device detection in storage and DAC modes by the computer;
- Miscellaneous bug fixes.
リプレイゲインに対応したのが大きいところでしょうか。
iTunesはリプレイゲインに対応していないので、foobar2000などをお使いの方には良いですね。
iTunesで管理している方は、foobar2000で音量調整してiTunesに連携すればいけるかな。
まだ試せてませんが、音量が一定になるのはうれしいですね。
一方、FiiO X7は、
FiiO-Born for Music and Happy:
The following changes and improvements were made to X7 FW1.8 over FW1.5:
- Added USB DAC function (DAC driver required for windows; driver-free for Mac);
- Added support for AM2 (medium-power) headphone amplifier module;
- Increased sound quality of third party apps when playing hi-res music of higher than 44.1kHz sample rate;
- Increased volume of third party apps;
- Increased bluetooth volume;
- Fixed some UI display issues.
The following changes and improvements were made to the FiiO Music music player app:
Added DLNA function; Fixed issue where albums under the Artists listing could not be opened for browsing; Fixed issue where a library scan may fail on occasion; "Prev track" button now goes back to beginning to present track if it has been playing for more than 10s; Fixed issue where the app registers as "not responding" while scanning the X7 for media; added "scanning" notification to UI; Whole-album music files are now hidden when they are split by a CUE sheet (the split tracks are shown); Volume can now be adjusted by sliding finger up and down the screen after volume interface is shown by pressing volume buttons; Fixed issue where adjusting lyrics' position offset on one song affected offset on all songs; Fixed issue where Bluetooth devices could not control play and pause actions; Fixed issue where the song listings do not update after an automatic media library update; Fixed issue where Next and Prev track do not take effect after adjusting an EQ setting; Playback position within Favorites can now also be memorized on exiting.
USB DACに対応したところとDLNA機能追加が大きな変更でしょうか。
どちらかというと、AK Connectの様に他から操作できるようになって欲しかったですね。
あとはバグ修正ですね。
X7の方のOTAでのアップデートは遅いので時間を置いてからやるか気長に待ちましょう。
やはりファームウェアの成熟度はX3 2ndに軍配が上がりますね。
