What (hardware related) is the difference between the 1st gen and the 2nd gen version of the X1?
Edit: ignore my above question - I found the specs (of course) at the wiki: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/FiioX1
Am I correct, when I say - there are no real differences?
(they just use another LCD model and another NAND - but no faster processor, different screen resolutions or similar changes?)
So why is it called "v2"?
boardlord:
As far as I could gather, the biggest addition was Bluetooth, a touch-based "click-wheel" instead of mechanical and a separate jack for line-out. Smaller differences are a bit faster charging, an incremental update to the DAC (PCM5142-->PCM5242), and slightly smaller dimensions :)
blubbblubb:
The v2 mentioned in the Wiki is still the Fiio X1 Gen 1.
The Fiio X1 Gen 2 is a new device not just some internal changes the consumer generally doesnt notice (like the Gen1 v2).
The biggest changes are mentioned in the post above.
Additionally it is supposed to be a lot slower while selecting tracks so im guessing there is also a different processor in there and the 2" TFT is apparently a lot sharper, so probably a different model as well.
Also i dont think there is a separate Line Out. Its just switchable between Headphone and Line Out in software like with the Gen1

Wow! That are a lot of things!
@pamaury: and yout think it would be relatively easy to extend the ongoing 1st gen port to also support the 2nd gen?
Or did you mean the 1st gen second version which I mistakenly thought it would be the 2nd gen?
BTW, rockbox does not have a bluetooth stack implemented, or does it?
pamaury:
Hi all,
the X1 2nd is not too different from the 1st gen, hardware wise (it definitely has the same CPU). However on the software side, it is totally different: it is running linux and does not use the same booting procedure. It is not clear to me yet how will proceed with the 2nd gen yet. After the X1 1st gen port is done, it is actually more logically to port to the X3 1st gen which is very similar (both hardware and software).
