FiiO X3 2nd gen
Question about FiiO X3 2nd gen
Is the micro SD card with the storage capacity of 256GB now supported with the X3 and the latest firmware updates? In internet forums I only find entries from the time when the 256GB cards were not yet available...
Fiio itself has never confirmed that 256GB cards work in the firmware updates as far as I know. Even in their support forum [1] they only state that 200GB cards are compatible. This is also confirmed by a user there. Personally, I don't see why it shouldn't work. Unfortunately, I can't test it myself because I don't have an SD card, so no guarantee.
Side note: Fiio's library system is known to be quite slow - even with the new models. With such large cards, updating will take forever. In the Fiio forum, a user reports 25 to 30 minutes for 150GB. So if you want to manage a larger music collection, I would look for other DAPs that can manage it better.

As far as I know, the maximum is 128GB. The Fiio page also says no more, the firmware is still 2.0.
