Usage as USB DAC
When the X5’s USB mode is set to DAC, it enters the DAC Playing interface
when connected to a computer via USB.
Back key: press briefly to enter DAC Settings interface, press again to return to
the DAC Playing interface. Hold to exit USB DAC mode and return to the main
menu.
OK button: hold down to show the volume control dial, turn the scroll wheel to
change the volume.
Please note that to have your computer play songs through the DAC, you have

in Windows or the System Preferences/Sound on the Mac.
G. Tips on usage
This section contains some useful tips for you to get the most out of your X5.
1)Media library update
It is recommended to set this to Auto, so that the X5 will update the media
library after each time you connect it to the PC. If an update hangs on a song
and will not continue (the number does not change), eject the TF card(s) to stop
the update, clear the database by updating without cards inserted, insert the TF
card(s) again and update again.
2)How to play your favourite songs quickly
Go to the Favorites menu to add a batch of your favorite songs (or favorite
individual songs as they are played in the Now Playing screen) and then enter
the favorites menu to enjoy all your favorite songs. The X5 supports addition
and removal of songs defined in .cue files as well for your enjoyment of lossless
rips of CD/DVD/etc.
3)How to quickly cut over to the song you want to listen to
Turn the scroll wheel in the Now Playing screen to pop up a list of songs before
and after the current playing song. Turn the scroll wheel to choose between
songs, press OK to select and start playing the new song.
