X3 with wheel?

Does the dx90 has a custom EQ, or is this a X5 feature only?
Both players are sonically good. Very good.
From HO I perceive X5 to be a bit more detailed because the soundstage is more intimate, studio like, rather than more spacious stage like presentation on DX90. It is hairsplitting difference though.
For your type of use DX90 may fit better due to smaller size and lighter weight. When rockboxed, the navigation is pure button type, no need to touch the screen. I personally prefer it that way.
It is a hard call, I thought about keeping just DX90, but decided to keep both of them. The LO on X5 is a cracker.
If you want a variety of EQ presets the rockboxed DX90 is the only way. 10-band fully adjustable parametric EQ with ability to save as many presets as you wish. Only one custom EQ available on both players with stock firmware.
Cheers.
Was planning to get x5 or dx 90, i am looking for a better sound-stage player and something that does not involve used of amplifer. Hope you guys can give me some suggestion as i am quite new to player.
