Sporting a brushed metal chassis, an all-new amp combination and DSD support, the 2nd Generation device looks to be yet another solid device from the electronics giant. Unlike the iBasso DX90, the 2nd generation X5 features a scroll wheel for navigation and a decent looking user interface.

S Stillman Audiophyte Jan 12, 2016 1 0 1 34 Jan 12, 2016 #4 Hi, I am reading reviews for many of the high capacity audio players. I am wondering what computer software these players are compatible with? I have an Apple computer and I will therefore need a player that will be compatible with my non-PC computer.

I have the x5 original but want to try and compare it with my Galaxy tab s2 as a dac. Do you know if the tab s2 can work as dac?

afterlife2 Audioholic Warlord Oct 7, 2011 9,980 0 113 Jan 14, 2016 #8 Every time I see X5 reminds me of my Cowon. IMO one of the best DAP's ever made. Fiio make great stuff. Maybe one day I'll pick one up. It's always a toss up between iBasso(make some nice little amps) and Fiio(Own the E11 amp. Love it).

Sorry, I meant to ask you how do I connect the tab s2 8.0 as DAC? I misread your post, you did say DAP, not DAC. I was thinking DAC because I actually use the X5 as DAC and not DAP.

Hmm, you could use as Dac, but it won't be straightforward (as dlna renderer like this one for example: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...kmc-arkuda-media-center-dlna-application.html or just use Kodi for that) but much easier would be to use it as dap, just use 3.5mm audio out to your amps Reactions: PENG

It may be easier to use it to output digital and use an external DAC. I read that iphones and some Android phones can do it so may be the tab s2 can do it too. I still don't know how, yet.. I have a few DACs and added a 64G sd card to the tab so it can be fun too if I can get it to bypass it's internal DAC and output in digital instead.
