I still vaguely remember the situation in the past few years when Feiaoo just released the X3. It should be 2013. Time is a bit faster, and now Feiao has had all-round development, not only covering the low, medium and high-end portable front-end, but also K1, K5, E12 more kind of more playful solutions.
Feiao is my first self-purchase brand, and Feiao let me not go back in this music's “oceanâ€. I remember that when I first bought the X5, my experience of buying X5 was just like the current Xiaomi. Because it was the first walkman, he couldn’t say why. After years of accumulation and precipitation, I happened to get a flying proud X3 II generation. After many years I met you again. This kind of heartfelt emotion is enough to see how deep my feelings are towards Feiao.
The flying proud X3 second generation (hereinafter referred to as: X3) in the positioning although higher than the X1, but basically no difference in appearance, but compared with a generation X3, whether it is appearance or internal architecture is completely different, after all, the original generation X3 It was a design a few years ago that it was difficult to adapt to the direction of market development.
Heritage classic design
In terms of packaging, the same package as the X5 is still used, and the "Fiio" logo is embedded in the black one package, which is simple and straightforward. The internal shock-proof sponge is enough to deal with daily collisions, ensuring that the baby is delivered to you in good condition.
Accessories are not small, USB data cable, coaxial cable, protective shell, screen protector, body sticker. If you feel that you are still not enough, you can go to X Bao to purchase a special customized protective shell and body sticker, to ensure that you can choose a satisfactory one.
Feiao has always given people a stable and steady feeling in the process design. Whether it is the X1, the old X3 or the X5, although the appearance is not the same, it has always been a step-by-step process. The new generation of X3 inherits the essence of the old generation in the design elements. The turntable and five physical keys are reflected in each other. The details are also further improved and upgraded.
The all-metal fuselage also continues from the old generation of products. The surface of the aluminum alloy panel with sandblasting process to enhance the texture at the same time look more delicate and delicate. The border is no longer as tough as the old X5, increase the arc to enhance the overall grip. The back is still a metal brushed texture, but the process is different from the old generation, the old X3 and the back of the old X5 feel more obvious and the new generation of X3 is coated with an oxide layer, while playing a protective role to see Up is a metal brush but it feels smooth.
Because the X3 uses a different internal architecture design, it is more reasonable in the overall layout of the buttons. The CD lines in the buttons are designed to look superior. Side of the three physical key bump height is not the same (open key is basically flat with the border; volume + key protruding highest; volume - key is slightly lower than the volume + key), especially in the volume + key on a protruding small The dots are used to distinguish the other two buttons and improve the blindness accuracy.
The design of the top of the X3 is basically unchanged, and it is still the 3.5mm headphone output port and S/PDIF output interface. One provides headphone analog output and the other provides coaxial S/PDIF output and Lineout output. Storage is also the same as the previous generation, and it still supports 128G single-card TF card slots. Personally think that listening to normal lossless songs, these storage space is fully enough for daily use, if you are a very demanding enthusiasts, each album is DSD level, then 128G also have to use it.
Another reason to like flying proud is the powerful asynchronous DAC function, through the bottom of the fuselage Micro USB interface can not only provide daily charging, you can also change the player into a "mobile sound card", install the driver in the Window, X3 system settings After changing the USB mode to DAC output, connect the computer through the Micro USB interface on the bottom of the X3. It is worth mentioning that the X3 already supports 192kHz/24bit audio sources and is perfectly compatible with DSD tracks.
Nearly perfect operating experience
As a symbol of flying proud, the black glue wheel has been inherited from the old generation X5. Good operating experience and system logic are also an important reason favored by consumers. In my daily use of the X3 these days, I found that the X3 has a stronger damping effect than the old X5, and will no longer cause misplaced strips because the turntable turns too fast. The operating logic of the entire system is also consistent with X1 and X5. The dial is used to rotate the selection menu list and songs. The top left corner is the menu key, the upper right corner is the back key, and the bottom left/right bottom corner is the previous/next song respectively. The forward key and middle button are confirmation keys.
In the system aspect, Fei proudly added 6 themes to the user's needs. I remember that before the official learned that the package could change the system UI icon, I tried to do a global semi-transparent theme and it was not interesting. Now Not so much trouble, Feiao has helped you to do a good job.
X3's new intrinsic charm
In the audio architecture, the X3 uses a new digital audio architecture solution. In addition to using the JZ4760B, the X3 is not the same as the older X3 and X5. The supported music formats are also very comprehensive, not only supporting the more common WAV, FLAC, APE, WMA, etc., but also supporting the original sound DSD and direct solution SACD-ISO.
The new generation of X3 as the X1 high version and the old X3 fall version is naturally better than the internal materials, DAC uses the mainstream CirrusLogic CS4398, compared to the old models of the Wolfson WM8740SEDS sound style, there will certainly be some differences.
For analog output, X3 uses an OPA1642 as an LPF (abbreviation for "Low Pass Filter," meaning "low-pass filter", that is, letting a low-frequency signal pass, preventing high-frequency signals from passing through). An OPA1642 is then used as a voltage amplifier. Instead, use the LMH6643 to amplify the current output to the headphones.
Say here, I inserted a digression, choose a Walkman hardware configuration is important, but the sound came out you like it or not, we said another, so before buying a walkman it is best to actually listen to the final conclusion Buying or not buying, Feiao also takes care of consumers' feelings. After providing free trials and then buying activities online, you only need to pay a certain deposit, and you can get the product for trial listening.
Subjective hearing
Since this product has been around for a long time since its introduction, the online evaluation is also varied, so in this review article, I don't want to use too much space to write my own "subjective" feeling. In the headset, I chose the earbuds DN2000 and the big ear Philips X2 to make a short listening comment and make a contrast with the old X3.
Track: Pacific Rim Soundtrack; Super 7 Soundtrack; Fang Datong, Jay Chou, Jam Hsiao, Jane Zhang, Shang Wenyi, Yao Bena and other popular songs
Low frequency: The first ear that you hear will feel that X3 has a certain reduction in the amount of low frequencies. It is no longer blindly stacking heavy bass but more attention to tri-band equalization. This is also the quality of this CS4398 DAC chip.
The old X3 contrast: although the amount of low-frequency aspects of the reduction, but the quality is still, due to the different chips, the resolution has improved significantly, low-frequency no longer have the kind of stuffy feeling of the old X3.
IF: The X3 is indeed as inward-looking as the fancier said in the midrange performance, if you do not compare it is difficult to say who is good and who is bad. When wearing the DN2000, the vocals were somewhat overshadowed by the low frequencies, and the rearward sounds were soft and weak. After changing to X2, the vocal performance will be much better in a more relaxed sound field, and the sound will be more delicate. The word “run†can express this tone well.
Old X3 comparison: Although the old X3 is completely incompatible with the new generation X3 in the performance of the sound field, I prefer the vocal performance that the old X3 brought to me. IF performance on the old X3 is more stiff than the new X3, but I still like the feeling of the old X3 more narrator.
High Frequency: The new X3 has a very big boost in high-frequency resolution, with a much more pronounced gap than low frequencies. This is why the X3 is more suitable for listening to some original soundtracks and smaller builds than the old X3. When listening to the sound of the Pacific Rim, the level of sound was good. After wearing X2, the sound field and high frequency performance were more open and the sound was more natural.
Old X3 contrast: not a grade, a new generation of X3 victory.
to sum up
Feiao's development in recent years is obvious to all. As a thousand-dollar HIFI player, although the X3 II is an iterative product of the old X3, its appearance has been inherited by the X1. It is not only an external beauty, but also an internal constant. Advances and advancements, better production processes, smaller size, and higher hardware configuration remain at the same price as the old X3, which is rare. If you are a junior player, then picking an X3 as your first HIFI player is a good choice.
