Sony x-series question / please recommend a dap

The Sony x-series seems to have good feedback here but I also read that it has a strong hiss, is this going to be noticeable or is it limited to iems which are more revealing of this?

 

Solved.

I get hiss with my um3x but none with my dt880 600ohm. If your library is wav, I wouldn't recommend the Walkman X. wav does not support tagging, so on the Walkman, everything will be under an album titled Unknown, with artist Unknown etc. I have noticed that some albums on my Walkman X that are supposedly .wav files have tags for them. eg: album, artist, track name and the album art.

Doesn't it use folder names or have the possibility of browsing by folder? many also look in the music folder for an image. I don't really mind that even if it cannot.

What alt. player with high hp out quality should I consider? Or is there a better [dap/amp] for a reasonable price with >30GB storage and a small form factor?

Try Cowon D2+ or J3. Both support expandable memory.

Personally I cannot tell a difference, no matter what gear I use. $50 or $5000

It does use folder browsing so if your library is in foolders than you will not need tags,

(edit)

The Nationite S:Flo2 seems to be nearly as good but unfinished, apparently it crashes too much.
