The X1 is readily recognised as one of the best budget portable DAPs on the market by punching well above it's price bracket with it's precise audio resolution. The A3 is one of FiiO's all time most popular products, packing power enough to drive medium to high impedance headphones and expanding the soundstage of IEMs. Together they give a brilliant introduction to the power of great audio. 

The Fiio X1 is the perfect entry level digital audio player for aspiring audiophiles. It supports all the major lossless file formats (APE/FLAC/ALAC/WMA/WAV) alongside traditional formats such as mp3/AAC etc. Using a Texas Instruments PCM5142 DAC chip and an Intersil ISL28291 amplifier buffer, the X1 is capable of delivering sound up to 192hz/24bits of master tape quality resolution. It also uses microSD cards to provide expandable storage options, currently supporting up to 128gb of files.  

Like its predecessor the FiiO E11, the A3 boosts the signal from your digital audio player, tightening the sound response in the process and lowering the noise floor. Improvements the previous E11 model include a new aluminium-alloy body and chassis to increase shielding from EM interference. The OPA1642 pre-amp serves as the voltage amplifier, creating great layering and medium and high frequency extension, while an AD8397 power amplifier controls the low frequencies and drive ability. The A3 also features new discrete bass circuit design, allowing you to turn the bass on and off without affecting the overall quality and purity of the sound.
