Fiio X5iii Purist ROM version 1.2.0 released without wiping data required!

 

Fidelizer Mod

 

For new users, please read about PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations first for new improvements with Fidelizer ROMs.

 

I received information about Fiio launching big update for Fiio X5ii, X7 and X7ii at the same time. As I’ve been busy with many projects including Fidelizer 8 updates so I can release only one at time and I’ll start with the most popular Fiio X5iii first. 🙂

After launching firmware updates for a while, I realized most customers are returning users so wiping data again won’t be necessary anymore. I also tuned PerfectDynamics on Enhanced / Advanced ROM to reduce bright sound with stock hardware on some headphones.

-Based on firmware version 1.2.0
-Deodexed
-Apollo – Fidelity Edition from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/apollo-music-player-fidelity-edition-t3038629 included
-build.prop tweaks for better video and storage performance and improve battery life
-bundled audio effects removed but keep main engine (Poweramp works now)

iBasso DX200 Purist ROM version 2.8.198 V2 released!

DX200 - Purist ROM

 

Hello everyone. I noticed iBasso also updated base factory image to version 2.1 on another day so I think it should be a good idea to repack the ROMs with the new base factory image aside boot/kernel/system image files.

This probably brings no significant improvements but changing base factory image from version 1.3 to 2.1 should some what improve compatibility. I also tuned PerfectDynamics a little to improve ROM’s reliability too.

 

-Based on firmware version 2.8.198
-Play Store added
-Apollo – Fidelity Edition from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/apollo-music-player-fidelity-edition-t3038629 included
-Revamped MangoPlayer UI with improved user experience
-build.prop tweaks for better video and storage performance and improve battery life
-Audio engine optimized for only audio playback (EQ/Gaplass features work)
-Bundled audio effects removed but keep main engine (Poweramp works now)

Fiio X5iii Purist ROM version 1.1.9 released!

 

Fidelizer Mod

 

For new users, please read about PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations first for new improvements with Fidelizer ROMs.

 

I received notification about Fiio X5iii 1.1.9 ROM update on the day it was released and I started working on it immediately. It took me few days to launch this update because of new feature Balanced Turbo for High Gain that requires further tests with hardware modded device.

After testing Purist ROMs for version 1.1.9, all ROMs passed the test including units with Fidelizer Mod applied. Balanced Turbo feature works wonderfully with new opamps set I implemented and I highly recommend to use with high gain headphones.

-Based on firmware version 1.1.9
-Deodexed
-Apollo – Fidelity Edition from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/apollo-music-player-fidelity-edition-t3038629 included

Added PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations for iBasso DX50/80/90 Fidelizer Enhanced/Advanced ROM

Fidelizer - PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations

 

For new users, please read about PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations first for new improvements with Fidelizer ROMs.

 

I tried to update Fidelizer ROMs for these products since last month but it was very time consuming to update 3 units at the same time and there’s other stuff I need to pay attention when I was going to work on these units. iBasso DX100 is also very important to work on too.

Now I’ve finished PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations for all existing products in website. I’m very glad that I’ve made it this far so I can start working on other DAPs like Calyx M, Onkyo DP-X1A, etc. I didn’t forget them but there’s a lot to work on including DX200 2.7 ROM update.

If you still use good old iBasso DX50/80/90, you can check out Fidelizer Purist ROM first and see. If you’d like to upgrade with PerfectDynamics Sound Optimizations in Enhanced / Advanced ROM, there’ll be a lot of improvements that won’t disappoint those who can appreciate Purist ROM. 🙂
